- - 25 Gallon SPS holding tank (http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=39402)

I got one Pom Pom crab a while ago but because you only see them ones in a while I got two more to even the odds.
I got rewarded tonight at feeding time as this one was hungry.:smile:

So I changed out my stand for a bigger one as the one I had was to small and changed some of my plumbing at the same time. I had picked up another tank that I wanted to make into a Fuge but have it on top so the pods don't end up in the filter bag.
So this was the weekend that I was going to make this happen.
So i get home on Friday and one of my clowns is gone. He was looking a bit sad the last few days, but was still eating and I gave him a dip. I thought well the system should take care of him he was pretty small.
So I get up on Saturday and my Blue spot has one of his fins clamped back.:cry: Damm so I pulled him out and put him in QT and treated him with para-guard. No luck at five he was gone. :cry: My other clown is now in medication as he was looking a bit sad as well. Funny thing is they were all eating ok. So after all this I figured since the fish are out I might as well change stands. Here is the end result. Ohh and I lost two sexy shrimp in the move after I changed all of it there was only two left. Not sure what happened must of buried them or something.
My clown is looking better though.:smile:

New refugium and tank

The swirls are air bubbles in the picture I thought my skimmer in the sump would fix this problem but looks like I will have to do a mod.

looks really nice =)

That is a pretty slick looking tank system... really like the refuge.

So have not updated for a bit things are growing out real nice some of the pieces that had lost some of the color have come back nicely.
I bought some of stuff from Florida Aqua Farms and made a Phyto reactor and a brine shrimp hatchery. Will post some pictures later when I get a chance.
Also bought a pair of breeding clowns as mine don't lay eggs yet.
Here is a picture off the new clowns. I can't stick my hand into the tank anymore as she bites me.:lol:

Picture of my pathetic Cheeto that has not changed in 7 months. My refugium grows no algae at all but my main tank has lots. So strange. I had to take all my snails out as there is no food for them to eat. Maybe the pods consume it all first?

Just curious as to where you got your original Blue-Spot Jawfish, and what you paid, cause they are RIDICULOUS out here.

So thought I would show a few updated pictures of my tank. Things are getting a bit packed and not much room for growth so i better get my other tank running soon.
My Darwin's were showing spawning behavior tonight so I think they might spawn soon.:biggrin:
My jaw fish is eating well as you can tell.
