Final Aquascaping completed. Here are a couple pics, one with flash, one without




Next step will be to increase the Ca, Alk, and Mag to levels that are as close as possible to the frag tank... then away we go

Update:
It is time to start adding some livestock

All of my sps is in the tank now, so time to do the fishies...

First off, the Magnificent Rabbitfish is showing no signs of stress, and is picking at algea and greens all day long. Has not started eating frozen food yet, but as long as he is getting his greens I am not too worried about it.

Second off, I found a healthy Powder Blue that has been living in captivity for over a year, so he and a kole tang were introduced last night. Next week I have a pair of clowns coming and Temminckii Fairy Wrasse, along with some snails and the likes.

Within the next few weeks the rest of the fish should be coming home so the stocking list as of now looks something like this:

Powder Blue Tang
Kole Tang
Magnificent Foxface
Orange Spotted Hawkfish
2 O. clowns
Splendid Psuedochromis
Marine Beta
Niger Trigger
Red headed Fairy Wrasse
Temminckii Fairy Wrasse


I still have not been able to get ahold of anyone about getting my Blonde Naso back, so I am starting to look at different avenues. Unfortunately if this doesn't work out, I am not sure I will replace him, as I had a hard time getting ahold of a healthy one, and odds are I will waste alot of time and money finding another. Plus he is my favorite fish of all the ones I have owned, and I dont think he is replaceable.

So I got a great mothers day present today. We finally got in touch with the right people, and got permission to go get our Blonde Naso Tang this week! Yay!

So by the end of the week the tank will have all of the "Big" fish in it.

The O clowns and the temminckii wrasse are coming this week as well.

We are hosting a meeting for our local reef club this weekend, so hopefully we will get some good shots then, and post them up by the beginning of next week

A few pics, for some reason everyone in my club wants me to post pics of my currently brown acros...so to appease the masses....

Here is the best pic I could get of the Magnificent


Here is the pb tang


And some coral shots:

Looks great! Is that the kole tang that I see blurring past us in the first picture? Those are one of my favorite fish.

[mtfatwork]

Yep, the Kole and PB came out of the same tank so they are buddies. I am hoping the Naso pairs up with the rabbit, because he has been hanging out with a rabbitfish in the holding system he has been in.

The coral pics suck but here is a list of what you see.
1st pic has a DFS bottlebrush colony and a garf bonsai colony.
2nd has a big acro rosaria colony and a fragfarmers monti sesota frag
3rd has the phonape torch up top, Tyree sky blue milli on the left, and the fragfarmer sesota on the right.
