Pic Heavy!
 
Mounted most of my corals and things are starting to actually look pretty good. I am noticing little spots of the flourescent yellow cyano starting to form on my rocks which you can see in some of my pics.. i might be proactive and do a 3day blackout or maybe even dose chemiclean and try and get rid of it for good. Here are some pics:

Ya been playing around with the bulb combos, not sure if I like it this way or if I should replace a Blue+ with an Aquablue Special

Oh nice! I'm a bit of a wrasse addict too! Are you going to put a mesh cover over the tank or just roll the dice and cross your fingers? :-)

+1 I'd definitely go for a mesh cover. They will jump. I can guarantee most(if not all) my wrasse's would have made it to the floor by now if my tank wasn't covered. My Lubbok's has even made to the floor 3 times already from me just lifting a corner enough to get my arm in the tank.

Ya unfortunately it's not so much a matter of "if" they will jump but more so a matter of "when". I've had wrasses that I thought were safe and would never jump, then one day out the blue, months (sometimes years) after owning them I'd find them dried up on the floor :sad:

Thanks for the heads up guys.. Might just have to do make one. I made one for my 90 so it shouldn't be too tough to whip up another.

Do they actually manage to jump out even with 4 inches of euro bracing around the rim?

Yes, I had two wrasses for about 4 months and found then dried up outside my tank. I have decided at this time not to go for any wrasses unless I build a mesh.
