Sorry to keep ya waiting zero, had to go to shushi-wii-hot tub party, but it gave it time to settle.

man it wasn't too bad to move the tank.

I siphoned off 5 gal and took out the rock and just picked it up and put it on my desk in the bedroom. ( I cant belive my GF wnet for it. lol.)

I decided to do a "custom" background, 50 points to whomever can figure out what I used.

The rock work was kinda rushed so I'll probably redo it, (what else is new).

The pictures were also ruched as the camra's battery light was on, so sorry but they will get better, so keep checking back.

Hey Tim and Zero thanks for the vote of confidence.

It is nice to have moved form a monologue to a dialogue for once.

It is time to present the first pics of my new wrasse Halichoeres chrysus and a few other shots.

Thanks Tim & Amy I'm glad you guys like it.

And Amy it is Tin foil not plastic wrap for the background, gently shaken to give a rippled effect. The idea just came to me as I was moving the tank.

I am going to try to add a 10k T5 to the tank, that I lent to a friend to get some more growth.

Running out of pocket total $85
Wrasse $15 (sweet deal from my old boss)
Background $.02 (estimated cost of 20"s of tin foil)

I couldn't resist a new fish, yes I'm a freak, but I have allways wanted one but thought it to e too small to put in my main tank.

Care to take a guess?

It's green.

Its super small.

& it has amazing coloration.

Well its a Greenbanded goby.

I couldn't wait for you all to guess, cause I spent an hour to get these pic's.

He is a hard little bugger to photograph w/o a real macro camera.

Thanks man, when I saw it I just had to have it.

Just added a blue leg hermit and 2 nassarius to help with the stray food.
Going to need a algae eater soon starting to get a bit of brown.
