I hear ya. :lol:

Also just wanted to say that I really like the way you have setup your rockwork. Your tank is coming along very nicely Colin!!

uh oh... Im starting to hear the call of "must have another tank" syndrome.. :eek:

i got some pictures of yesterdays new addition and i had to come home with another one today. an awesome powder blue tang approx 6" and 2 acro small colonies. one of them is really hard to take a pic of and get the right color but i think it may be a tricolor eventually. the base is pinkish purple the tips tint of green with pink polyps. it also as a commensal crab which is really cool. i always hoped to get a piece with a crab. the other colony is green, again it looks ok in pic but much brighter in person. i spent about an hour in front of the tank today getting some pictures of the 'family'. especially the mystery wrasse (for muck) and tried to get the tang group together but the bloody tomini is on speed or something. he hauls around the tank during the day. anyhow i'll let the pictures tell the story. some maybe be bland to you guys but i had to take 'em.

Looking good Colin - lovely PBT. Any aggression from the Naso? Is the flame angel giving you any trouble with your coral?

thanks ruth. the powder blue and naso get along really well. there was no aggression at all from either. the naso was a little bothered when the powder blue was checking out the sleeping spot of the naso but no battle just a push and that was it. i was worried about the flame at first, it went after my monti, but after watching for a week i think he is only eating the filamentous algae on it and not the polyps thank god. the monti hasnt retracted polyps at all. in my last tank the flame ate a brain and xenia but that was it.

Very nice.. your fish look great.

Thanks for the pics Colin.
I think I may just have to get a mystery wrasse myself now. :surprise:

they are unreal muck, they are way more colorful in person and the personality of them is hilarious

Looking good colin
Is that a flasher wrasse in there (not the 5 bar ,the other one in the last page).
I was told you have to have a couple of females with them or they eventually loose their coloration.
Is that 5 bar Wrasse really agressive?
