Added a few more things over the weekend.

A trio of lyre tail anthias, a OG Mummy Eye Chalice frag, Vivid Rainbow Delight frag and a, Cornbred Dragon Soul Favia frag. I traded one of my MP40 for a Tunze 6208 wavebox and I'm getting about a half inch wave on the far side of the tank from the wave box alone. I've tried hooking up the 6105 to work with the 6208 and haven't found the wave I liked that way so they're independent of one another.

Hope to find some time to take some pictures and upload them but my schedule lately has been hectic.

Ah...welcome to the Tunze world. Call Tunze abs talk to Roger. Great guy to help you sync the 6105.

True. Guess I'll just say I'm lazy and don't have a friend to come and take the pictures for me. ;)

I am seeing less aiptasia and I do notice it picking at the rocks but I am yet to see it actually eat an Aiptasia. It has started to eat some frozen as well.

Great update B. Glad to see some positive things coming from you!

Thanks Schooleyosis! I'm just excited to watch things grow and stock this tank full of fish!

Sounds like a good plan!

Problem is, I'm not good with plans.

I'm really glad the Copperband is hanging in there!

I've had much better experiences with Klein's Butterfly in case you end up needing a different aiptasia control. None of the Copperband's timidity or weak constitution. Two or more will even readily school. And the price is usually right. Brilliant fish IMO. :)

This CBB is doing well, holding it's own against the tangs I just added. Everyone seems to be getting along pretty well, had a couple minutes of aggression between the yellow tang and CBB the Powder blue pays it no mind. The yellow and powder seem to ignore each other for the most part as well.
