Whew, close call. FedEx was a day late :oops: but they all made it. Shows the value in having a supplier that packs well, is sending healthy stock, and puts plenty of water in the bags.

 
Well, FedEx continues to suck. Since the last update I sold off one of the yellow tangs (too much territorial bickering for me to be able to relax) and ordered a group of bimaculatus anthias. A male and 4 females. Shocker, FedEx was a day late again. They also must have thrown the box off a truck. Huge dent in the box. When I got the box open one of the bags had burst and a female was in an empty bag. Amazingly the other 4 were still alive. Marine collectors does a great job packing, lots of extra water in each bag. Took a couple days for everyone to settle in, the Kole bullies the anthias for a while, but now they’re out almost all the time. Took a short vid with the polyplab clip on filter.

 
We need a full room shot with the tank!

Here is a shot from right after I first got the aquascape done. Need to get one more recent.............
 
So when I was getting the replacement for the DOA female Bimac I added another to have a total of 5 females. Of course, FedEx strikes (sucks) again and they were a day late AGAIN!!! One of the 2 didn't make it. I've also added the Avast Marine Plank auto-feeder to help keep the Anthias healthy. I am loving it. Feeding freeze dried mysis shrimp twice a day.

 
Added a blonde naso tang from Marine Collectors. He spent an extra day in the box (FedEx is sooooo bad) so a little skinny, but eating like a champ. One with and one without the Poly Lab filter. First 3 corals are in. Stellaria Chalice, Lightning Tip Lepto and Poinsettia Favia.





Stay safe everyone.

Took some pics after feeding, still figuring out the lighting and camera settings on the new tank. Zoas are on the bare bottom so kind of disorienting background (white instead of black) and most of the new stuff is still settling in (Regal Angel has been "investigating" a bunch of the new zoas so keeping them under a frag rack for now. Thanks to Brandon and Holly from @Zoanthids for the fire!!
