Hi everyone! I haven't been on in a while! Not a lot to report, except lost my neon green carpet nem, my fault moved a rock and didn't realize his foot was partially attached to it. I thought he would pull through, but he didn't. I got a new blue/purple carpet nem now. Also my passer ate my giant neon green hammer coral colony! I stared feeding 3 times a day instead of two, and the passer hasn't touched anything else. I love that fish though, eats out of my hand. Hope you all are doing great! Here are the most recent pics! I will post more pics tomorrow when the lights are on. Oh, I also got two new wrasses, a Radient wrasse and a Kuiters Leopard Wrasse. My male Melenarous went crazy trying to kill the Kuiters, so I traded him in to the LFS. He also killed a Yellow Tail Tamaran a while back. I had to divide half my tank, and take rock out to catch the Melenarous, but with two nets and my hubby's help, I got it done. Who says women can't reef....LOL....ha ha ha! Kuiters is now happy as a clam, and eats like a pig!

Oh wow beautiful fish. :) How big was he when you got him and how big is he now? According to books they get huge.
Wow...so sorry didn't see your post! Yea he was about 2 inches when I got him and almost 9 inches or so when I lost him!!!!! I was so bummed. I won't replace him though. Even though I liked him I couldn't keep any inverts like cleaner shrimp. Also no corals or anything could be on the sand. He would flip everything he could over.

Hi everyone! It has been awhile since I updated my thread. So I added a medium Sohol Tang to my Dejardini and Purple. No real issues besides the usual get out of my space chase.

I did add a huge Red Haddoni carpet last week. Not cheap, but I saved up for it.

I know I said I probably will not replace my Red Coris Wrasse, well I bought a little juvi a few weeks ago.

Also I added a Kuiters Leopard Wrasse a few months ago.

My tank looks a bit different. All because of my passer, he likes Torches, and others types of corals, so I have in there what he won't eat. So far anyway. Here are some recent pics!

Hi guys and gals! It has been a while since it updated my build thread. A few weeks ago I took my large fat flame back Angel, and traded him at my LFS! He got way too aggressive. I added some SPS too. Here are some pics!

Stunning!

Does your Kuiters get along well with your other leopards?

Hi guys! I am sorry I haven't updated my build thread in a while. I had suffered a terrible loss in my family two weeks ago. My wonderful daddy passed away two weeks ago. So my dad was my biggest supporter of my tank, so I made a video a few days after he passed and dedicated it to him. I posted it to my Reef Tank YouTube channel. So here it is....check it out....

So sorry for your loss, your dad sounded like a stellar person.

I actually saw that video on my Youtube feed last month (the algorithm knows I'm looking for a red sea 750). You have an amazing set keep up the good work.
