It's hard to photograph, but the blue flasher is the biggest fish in the tank pushing 3 and a half inches and constantly showing off. The luminescence is something else. Also even though they can get a little "damsely" from time to time, the talbots damsel is truly a beautiful fish who is immensely interesting to watch 3 point turn bus reverse butt waddle in and out of the rockwork.

Here are some older photos after the crash but before now. The watchman and the toadstool are the remains from the crash. They've both been with me over 4 years. Toadstool is maybe 18 inches across.

Here are some of the coral colonies and fish from before the week-long power outage related crash a year ago. Bittersweet to look at but beautiful.

Did some stuff today! Installed a co2 scrubber and hooked it up to my swimmer's venturi and then added 20+ pounds of live rock rubble to the external fuge. Just waiting on chaeto and it's done!

Looks great!! I love the green clown goby pictures. One of my favorite fish!
He lives on the dinner plate sized toadstool most of the time. The lawnmower blenny will occasionally try to punk him, but he seems to live a pretty good life.
