Apparently it’s strong and eating.... I’ve been looking for about a year now, I’ve got another shop holding another one for me for me as well, they only got him Friday... if your LFS uses TMC Manchester they have had a few in recently...Hopefully it is eating well, I am on a waiting list!

I use this fish finder map they have to find which shops have recently bought what fish I’m after, simply add your postcode... it’s a great tool that not many know about...

Only known from eastern Australia and New Caledonia. Occurs on sheltered inner reefs, usually where there is good algae growth or some Sargassum. Some 10mm juveniles were found amongst sparse seagrass on muddy substrates at 4-5m depth in Sydney. This beautiful species is easily identified by...www.tropicalmarinecentre.co.uk
Nice tankHello All
I've been on the site for awhile, posting, asking questions of you and chatting but I have never set up a tank thread, this is not a new build, I've had this tank for over 5 years. It's gone through several changes, some good, some bad, I've tried most systems from full Berlin to Matrix via Zeo and I am currently using a Clarisea Roller Filter, 2 algae reactors and a BK Double cone 200 skimmer. I use a GHL Profilux 4 for control and lighting is taken care of with 3 Orphek Atlantic 2.1b's. The tank is 66" long, 30" front to back and 24" tall, with a fairly large sump giving a 900L system.
I'm sorry for all the fans of minimalistic aquascapes I love lots of rock, hiding holes and a full tank look. I have tried hard to try to create depth of vision by placing corals and rocks at the front of the tank, and not just building a wall, and I have been rearranging the display recently and trying different coral placements, and cannot get it quite right.
Here are a few pics for starters, I'm not a photographer by any means and am using an iPhone, I will get the DSLR out if the pictures aren't upto scratch, any suggestions comments etc very welcome. I hope you enjoy my tank.
Sadly my happiness was short lived, I found my Chaoti dead this morning, it was so thin... I’m not going to try this species again so hard to get feeding...Happy day today, I thought my Choati had died, as it had been at least 2 weeks since I last saw it... but he’s out and about this morning, that’s the longest I’ve had a wrasse hide...
NiceA quick couple of pics just before my lights go off of a new handsome dude I bought earlier, a nice submale labouts fairy wrasse (Cirrhilabrus laboutei)
It’s a purple base magnifica anemone, I’ve had it about 10 years now and it’s been sat in that same position for over 7 now...What anemone is that?
ThankyouBeautiful tank by the way!!!!!
