I just added 3 new Pyramid Butterfly fish last week bringing me up to 6.
Here is a new video
I used Hyperlapse from Instagram for part of the video

Seems like it is time to update my thread. I lost a few fish after I removed some rock: Emperor Angel, Regal Angel, and Black Zoster Butterfly. This has opened the door for me to try something I have always wanted 2-3 Emperor Angels. I plan to remove my Cream/Yellow Tailed Angel and add the Emperors within the next few months.

The color changing Emperor did not make it.

I found another small one local so I picked it up.

The new baby is doing well and cleaning other fish

I lost both these Emperors and will be retrying soon. Not sure I can add angels, it seems ich is in my system and the old fish handle it but not any new angels. Trying to figure out a fix or way to make it work.

We the tank has been thru some hard times. I had many corals die and the emperors I added did not make it. It took me a few months to figure out the issue but it turned out to be high salinity. My calibration solution for my refractometer was bad. I had calibrated my refractometer with it and made adjustments to my tank salinity. Sadly the adjustments made the salinity move up to 1.031-1.032. The corals did not seem to like it and any new fish added did not work out. I have since fixed the salinity issue and added more angels.
So far everything is doing well.

Alot has happened to this tank over the last few months.
I had a salinity issue that lasted several months before I figured out what was wrong.
I lost several corals and some fish.
I am currently in recovery mode with some cyano algae that will just not go away.
I purchased some new acropora frags and they are doing great.
I added 2 Juv Emperor Angels that are growing and getting fat.

I changed out my DYI LEDs for 6 Mars Aqua LEDs fixtures, they helped give me a cleaner look and more LEDs and colors of LEDs
These LEDs are working out great.

I also started using Two Little Fishies Remag in my CA Reactor but its to early to tell if its helping.
