Good news is the new skimmer pump came in today. Bad news they sent the wrong adapter for my skimmer. I run the internal version of the skimmer on my frag tank so I took that pump and got it to work for the external skimmer on the display and put the new pump on the frag system skimmer. Going to send the adapter back and have them send the correct one so that I can run the new pump on the display. I will say that the new aquatrance pump (which is different from the original pump on the skimmer) seems to be very nice. It definitely makes "finer" bubbles and pulls almost double the amount of air as the original pump. Only time will tell for sure.

How is your Sarmentosa doing?
How do you like your Mystery Wrasse, I so want one.

The Sarmentosa is doing pretty well. Doing more encrusting than growing at the moment but at least it's happy. I absolutely love the mystery wrasse. The problem is he can be a bit nasty and that worries me a bit about adding any other fish. I plan to move him to the frag tank, add another fish or 2 and then trying to reintroduce him with an acclimation box. Hopefully it works.

I really like Sarmentosa, for some reason I expected them to me a more finicky Acropora. The block shape growth is what I really like about it, blunt tips.

Me too. There's just something about them that really makes them stand out. The growth structure is really different from any other Acro.

Love your Zoas... how closely together can you have different species of zoas without them bothering each other?

Tank looks great! Did I see a fox flame in there?

Thank you. I try to keep a little distance between different zoas but it gets tough as they grow. When mounting the frags To the rocks I try to make it so I can fairly easily get it off so I can frag them when they start to grow over each other.

Thanks man I appreciate it. I got the fox flame back at RAP in nj. I have wanted a frag for a while and got a pretty good deal on it so I couldn't pass it up. It's really an awesome Acro.
