Awesome build looking forward to seeing how the tank progresses! I would think it would be difficult to scape a tank that big but you made it look easy! Looks great!

Thanks I think its easier with more room to work with.

Can't wait to see a picture of it! It is one of my favorite fish. Right behind the Achilles tang

Added some more additions tonight a little while ago. Goniopora, elegance, brain, and gargonian added and beginning to open up. Pair of triggers went in and the male was out in no time. Female taking longer and I see she has a couple scratches on her head from burrowing in the rockwork but getting braver and coming out more. I never thought triggerfish would be that shy!

Powder blue and blond naso went in earlier in the week.

Along with the few pieces of coral I picked up today, I finally got another female watanabei to go back with my male! Egg crate cover this time, no jumping out the night before transfering into the display (that really sucked but glad it was the female and not the male). And also a little sailfin tang.

Everyone and everything is doing awesome, except for my poor clam which was most likely too soon. The clam was also in the rockwork getting himself wedged in to I tried to get him out and may have effed his foot, I duno never seemed rigt after that.

Mata tang is my most aggressive fish and also the fastest growing! Blue hippo has probobly doubled in size too from a few months ago.

Which one, powder blue?

Yes. I am sorry. I was thinking it in my head but apparently I didn't type it out lol. The Powder Blue is a beautiful fish

It sure is, I would have a brown as well but it didn't make it through quarantine :(

 

[KDawg0623]

That stinks. They are nice as well. But the naso definitely looks great

I got a good size purple tang this morning and a Fowleri tang as well. Wasn't able to get any pic at all of the fowleri.

Tired of suicide jumpers. Have lost several fish on the floor. Put an end to that today. Turned up my lights some to counteract and then turned them back some as it looked like too much. Comparing snapshot images from the camera it looked a brighter then before.
