Right on! take the money from that and pay your new guy to make you a sweet sump for the new tank. I cant believe what they sent you, thats downright nasty looking.

I would check out some reef grade units from reputable vendors. Water is the most important part of your tank.

I think with 240 pounds of live rock that you will be OK. I would wait another 4 months before adding him tho, your tank is still very new.

I vote gsp as well. Its very cool looking when covering a surface. Very hardy as well.

I just added 7 bristle worms to my tank!

Very cool story and awesome effort on your part! This thread makes me want a bigger tank, I dont know how that helps or hurts the situation at hand but who knows things may become more scarce and hard to get as time goes on with this trend.

shrooms are amazingly hardy. Ive got a single blue shroom i bought and hes about to split i think as well! Very cool stuff, thanks for the pics.

I have something similar i think .... does it look like this one? The shroom in question here is to the left of the blue one and below the GSP. I ended up with this guy on a frag i bought i have no clue what it is but it sounds like we might have the same thing, maybe the pic will help...

What would cause them to lose their color?
