Thanks Tim.
Yea, I had to through some in to avoid a huge spike b/c the wrasse missed a "few" pellets.

Thanks zero, I wish it was a bit bigger, as I cant see the little bugger too much, and have yet to witness it eat.
I'm gonna try some cycolpeese.

The wrasse is my favorite fish, it is so cool when it is out.
It has a fat belly and eats pellets. It still hides in the sand allot, and is only out from 10am to 5pm give or take.
Must be a union thing.

Just toolin around


I decided to add a 20" 18K T8 NO light to the tank and it made a big difference, but it's fixture is 24" and looks ugly sitting on top with the CF fixture. So I am building a Canopy out of the scrap wood here is what I got so far. The hood still needs to be sanded and painted and mounted at the appropriate hight as to not block viewing. This is a test run for size just set on top w/o any mounts but I am pleased so far since i did this my self with hand tools and finishing nails. I also got a new glass lid for 50 cents, and got a miter saw by mistake.

Im still waiting for the sander so I can finish the canopy, hopefully I'll get it tonight.
I am about to get rid of this macro, as it is taking over this tank now.

Ok. I got it sanded down and a base coat of white paint. All I have left is to do the top coat, add mounting brackets, retrofit the light, and find some hinges.
Im off to celabrate...
