EpicWin. I did leave my sand bed in the tank. I never thought of the mess that it probably released into the water column when I filled it back up. Still strange that it did not crash when I moved from Texas to Illinois but crashed when I moved 2 miles down the street. I am really depressed now that it might be the sand bed. I wanted to change the sand when I moved it and just got into a big hurry and neglected to do it. :mad2: Like you said. Lesson learned!

Thanks revhtree and revsgirl.

Picked up a new rock. And a big rock it is! So big, in fact, that it sticks out of the top of the water about a 1/2". As a bonus, it came with a few elephant snails.

FTS.... New addition on the left side.

Yea, I picked that tube anemone up a few months ago. I am not sure that he likes being stuck under that rock though. He keeps stretching to get out from under the ledge.

From my understanding, the rock is originally from Inland Aquatics in Indiana. If that's the case, I need to make up a good excuse to go and check the place out.

do you have a photo of the 20 with the clown an nem? I saw the small pic of just the nem, but it looked like quite an interesting tank. Good to see the rebuild and ya sticking through the tough times.

You will have to excuse my picture taking abilities. Good camera + lousy user does not equal good pictures. :bigsmile:

The 20 gallon extra long is an awesome tank. I had to drill the holes and add the bulk heads to this one but it is perfect for a frag tank. Or in my case, just an extra home for a clown and her anemone.

New Additions....

Firefish

Some kind of Anthias. It was labeled as a "Pink Anthias" but I cannot find any information on a "Pink" anthias. Let me know if you know what the official names is. Thanks!

I'm no anthia expert but it looks like a lyretail that is changing from female to male. Just a guess though.

Nice new additions!
