evolved's 190g DSA Reef: Wrasse Retreat

[evolved]

beautiful fish! I myself am trying to figure out what type of wrasse I want to do and I have a smaller tank than yours so I only want to do 1 or two.

what are your favorite 2 or three that you have and why??

thanks!

Thank you.
Every one in my tank is a favorite. :) I have a passion for them; the rarer and the more unique, the better.

Ultimately, what will appeal to you will depend on color palate and budget.

Looking good Hunter!

Thanks Brett!

Thanks again for showing me your tank last night, evolved! :) It's going to take awhile to get the hang of this new camera but here are a few pictures that turned out alright from last night:

Next time I come over I'll be sure to have my fish picture taking ability tuned up to showcase your amazing collection. I need to find a Bellae now!!

Very nice fish list, giving me something to shoot for.

How does your lineatus and rhomboids get along.

Tank as ordered (consider starphire on all 3 sides), plus the stand, $2400. Clear silicone is standard.

Very nice fish list, giving me something to shoot for.

Thanks much.

Just fine for the most part. They might give one another a short chase across half the tank a few times a day, but nothing harmful.

Good to hear. My lineaus is kind of a jerk so I want to be careful with him. I picked up a pylei today and have a naoko I need to pick up soon.

Pylei and especially naoko, can be quite aggressive.

As you know, that takes time; a luxury I don't always have enough of.

I know! I'm due to get over there again. Actually, evolved needs to come over to my place soon! Sounds like both of our schedules have been very busy.

Indeed. Let's make it happen soon. See you tomorrow?

A video of your tank would be awesome, Hunter. Just sayin'. Great pictures, thanks for sharing!

Just saw this! I've been sick for the last 5-6 days so I laid low on Saturday and missed the meeting. Hope you went home with something cool. Heading out of town Thursday-Sunday this week, but let's make something work the next week!

Well, as reef tanks go, I experienced some woes here for the last couple months.

However, I'm happy to report things are very much on the upswing now. Although, I still don't know what the source of my troubles was/were, but I'm very suspect of GFO and/or the filter socks. I've been running without both now for two weeks and some things which haven't grown for months are doing their thing again; photo evidence of that later.

Photos from 4/7/13.

Some new additions as of late.

The new center piece; an acanthophyllia I stole in a Reef Pets eBay listing, paying about 1/4 or less of the typical retail price on something like this. Also some new chalices and the Hallucination Favia (AquaSD):

These have abundant lately, but grabbed this one locally and I really like it. Diploastrea (has crazy long sweepers at night FYI):

Malibu favia; yes, the yellow is really that bright:

Freebe blasto on my latest AquaSD order (Thank Will & Co.!); merletti's to the right were freebes on a different order:

Pink/blue acan in the background (new, local), sunset fungia in front (old):

New rainbow acan (AquaSD):

New rainbow chalice, AquaSD:

Just a couple new AquaSD fungias, and a freebe chalice. Reef Pets acans on the left:

New lobo, AquaSD:

A couple new acros, also AquaSD:

Chalice, won in the same Reef Pets auction mentioned earlier:

I've had this one a few months now, but I don't think I've shown a picture of it yet. Huge red fungia, Aqua SD:

A few up and comings I haven't shown many photos of-
