UPDATE TIME!!!
So, I realized its been almost a month since I updated and remodeled yesterday. So here we go!
I took one of the HOBs out and moved the reds so they're in the hole in the cover that was perviously for said filter.
Here they are under the water, I lowered the planters a little so they weren't skimming the surface.
My stubborn blenny chillin in the planter. It would be cute if he would eat and wasn't so skinny...
Here's a shot from farther back.
And Some new growth on one of the mangroves. I want them to grow out, not up, so I'm debating on whether to pinch it off or not. I pinched all the tops when I got them and this one's the only one to grow back so far.

Great stuff Kels! Love the shots of your "blenny" hanging out in the planter, lol!
Don't take my word for it, but I'd let those new leaves bud out, then pinch the next set. Thats what I've been doing, but like I said, thats just me.

Thanks Maxx - I find him up there quite often! And I think he's eating now! Yay! 
Anywho, the reds... I was thinking that I might let them get long and repot them in a larger, round pot and just let them sit on the sand later down the road. Or maybe a shelf or something....But I don't know if the branches that grow now will turn into prop-roots or just die after they are submerged... But then, I don't want them TOO long and stringy, you know? On the bright side, its not like I don't have tons of time to figure it out... hahaha.

Thanks Rwelbaum!
Lol Grams. I found him lounging in the planter this morning when the light came on. All flopped over on his side just lookin around. He's recovering nicely now that I've mixed up his diet. He moved before I could snap a pic though.
