[Jeppun21]

So just a mini update.. I added a new fish today.. A beautiful male carpenters flasher wrasse for a good price.. Here he is.. Eats pe mysis and colorations are too beautiful

 

[revhtree]

Great fish.

Tank looks great. I would recommend adding a small ph to the hob fuge as it has a tendency to have water remain stagnant and will help fight that along with allowing for better chaeto growth. I would also recommend not going with sps other wise your bio load will be too high for the 9002
