I have a 65 Gallon with their stand. Got to be one of the best aquariums made, sad they went out of business. The Weir Design can handle an incredible amount of flow, I modified the overflow pipe to handle the increased water flow.

Love your wrasse collection!!

That means a lot from a wrasse guru like you. Present fish stocking:

Wrasses
C. earlei (Earl's fairy wrasse)
C. lineatus
C. bathyphilus(Hooded fairy wrasse)
C. laboutei (Labout's fairy wrasse)
C. isoscoles (Pintail fairy wrasse)
C. aruantidorsalis(Orangeback fairy wrasse)
C. punctatus (Finespot fairy wrasse)
P. carpenteri (Carpenter's flasher wrasse)
H. iridis (Radiant wrasse)

Tangs
A. nigricans (Gold Rim tang)
A. nigrofuscus(Lavender tang)
Z. flavescens (Yellow tang)

Misc.
Ptereleotris zebra (Zebra Barred dartfish)
Acreichthys tomentosus (Matted file fish)

Coming later this week, Royal Flasher wrasse, yellow watchman goby, Long nosed hawkfish and if I can catch him I'm moving my Dejongi Basslet from the 25 Lagoon to the big tank (he's outgrowing the nano).

Wow that's a big compliment, thank you! I'm no guru, I'm just a girl with a wrasse obsession :)

Your stock list is awesome! Very nice fish on that list! Oh and your Dejongi Basslet is STUNNING we need more pics of him!

It is quite a bit smaller than the other two tangs but it has been bold and active since the first day. Surprisingly neither or the established Gold Rim or Yellow gave him any issues when he was introduced. I like him a lot. One of the other names this species goes by is Freckle Face tang and if you see him in person you understand it.

The no cover is now cleaned.
Isn’t that coral a plating, encrusting and branching coral? I thought they were

I believe you're right. At least that's what my other one does. The plate forming and the upturned edges are what had me going ......hmmmmm.
