Haven't been here for awhile, so nice to see where you are with your tank. It has come a long way since I was in your store in August.

Mike from Yellowknife

Hey Mike!!! Good to see you here! Yep, the tank has come a LONG way since the summer...now it's actually pretty! LOL. When you come down next, let me know.....and I'm sure the tank will be looking even better! Happy New Year

Wow Sarah, haven't seen you in a while. Missed you at the last swap. Looks like your pretty busy these days though. The tank looks awesome. Nice job. Love the flame wrasse (pair?) and the school of tangs. A bit of a hawaiian theme going on I think. A of A closed up so I can't get my fix locally any more so I'll have to come up that way to check things out one of these days.

The Flame Wrasses are a trio....they're GORGEOUS! And there does seem to be a bit of a Hawaii theme!!! I love this tank...it's so easy, fish look good, eat well, skimmer skims VERY well! It's just an easy tank. Don't know how else to put it. I am considering what to put in next as now I need something new..........

I heard that A of A closed down suddenly. That's sad for you guys! I don't have a bunch in right now as Christmas was CRAZY...but I try to keep my prices fair, and my livestock healthy. I will never be a J&L but ... well that's ok with me! I am adding some invert tanks but that is a slow process...we have been sooooooo busy! It's awesome!

Bit of an update...out of the blue we lost our Naso Tang...for absolutely no reason at all. Everything else is thriving. Water changes are simple as we can just drain it out the front door.....:biggrin: We're keeping our driveway ice free is what we'll tell the landlord! LOL

We added a GIGANTIC Moorish Idol last night. He's huge, fat and seems really really healthy. In his previous tank he was a good citizen for the year and a half he was there....so hoping he will stay that way. He sure made a HUGE difference to the tank....it's the first thing you see. Will try to get some pics...but you know me. Not the best at updating this thread...but here and there!

This wrasse looks the same as the fairy wrasse I have that I'm not really sure what the ID on it is. Do you know what type of wrasse it is?

The tank is looking good, sorry to hear about the naso, I understand how much it sucks when that happens, my naso did the same thing. Mine was 4-5" was eating well, fat and healthy for 6 months then one day vanished. Never saw any sign of him ever again, no body no nothing just went from being perfectly healthy to gone.

Congrats on the MI very cool fish can't wait for pic.'s :biggrin: Hope he behaves in your reef.
