This tank is rapidly turning into a "fish that aren't reefsafe living with a whole crap load of sps" tank
I recently discovered my yellow tang, that I have had for 5 yrs may have been the cause of 5 clams dying over the years :twised: I think the 6th clam will live....just not in the same tank as the fish.
So when I introduce the nonreefsafe raccoon butterfly to the 175g the yellow tang will go in at the same time. That will make 7 not reefsafe fish in that tank lol

I just so love your Achilles, have always really respected the way you've been able to keep it so fat and healthy. The SPS forest is also looking fantastic :thumb:

Yes, that's probably the FATTEST Achilles in Canada.

Marie,

How is Doofus doing in terms of his Nori supply?

Need another 400 sheets?

Anthony, I ran out of the nori you sent me a while ago but I found a source here in town. It cost me $11 for 50 sheets so a bit more expensive then what you pay but considerably cheaper then $5 for 10 sheets that I get in the grocery store lol

wow that is $$$ I pay 2.59 for 50 sheets. May be I should buy you some here and ship it out to u Marie.

Time to get out of town for a few days again. May be heading back up for a visit in a couple of weeks if that works for you? If we do come up, send me a wish list, besides schwack loads of Doofus sheets.:wink:

5 months into my New Years resolution of not messing with the tank has become.... well? kind of boring
Corals are growing bigger and getting into some serious warfare now. It's become survival of the strongest. I still have red bugs and a new one I'm not sure where it came from is a flatworm that is infesting my orange and red montis. It doesn't seem to affect their growth so I'm leaving them for now.

And this is a two tone acro, the tank brace is right above this coral so half is shaded and is producing an interesting colour effect

LOL, I wondered how long that would last :wink:

The piece that I got from you has doubled in size and growth isn't as tight as it is in your system. From what can see, those branches that are a bit more "stretched out" are white with vibrant purple tips and green branches. It kind of looks like a desalwii that Greg posted in his reefcentral thread. I've been trying to get a photo for weeks but I need to find an acrylic box to get some overhead shots.
