Time for a FTS Catherine! Those last video pics are just teasers!!!

When I get home tonight I'll hook you up. Maybe I can get a few photos of my emperor; he is starting to change colours!

I'm debating pulling the trigger on another and hopefully my last light for the centre of my tank. Might go for a drive at lunch.

A little late but the yellow tang issues you had early on.. I originally bought a school of them as well 15 total for my 16' tank. Everything worked out well at the start (first day) ended up losing 2 right off the bat then slowly started losing more and more. Did you ever figure out why? I know for a fact mine had no signs of aggression or marks on them but still lost the majority of them.

Would like someone else's opinion on schooling yellow tangs who has tried it before.

On another note love the tank and size will have to go back and keep reading just found the build today.

The LAST big upgrade
 
Oh doh! It, the FTS, totally slipped my mind.


As for the yellow tangs, or any tang, it seems the secret is food. They thrive on more rather than less, in my experience. I would attribute a bunch of my success to auto feeders and regular feedings.

Your tank sounds so fun! I would love to follow along if you have a journal.

I may have found my next QT inhabitants.

In other news I am super unhappy with my black tang. The thing hides ALL the time. Boo! Barely comes out to be seen. He may be out more often in the dawn/dusk and night hours but he's hard to see.

My fish really like the camera, but what I'm actually trying to show is the change in my emperor.

Washed out FTS. I haven't quite figured out this new phone/camera other than point and shoot.

The new LED fixture I ordered for the centre of the tank was having problems communicating with my Apex controller. It was returned and I will look at picking up either a new AI fixture or maybe something new. Not sure yet. Research to do.

I added 4x 4ft actinic T5s to the system to supplement as I'm noticing colours are fading.

I have new sand to add, but I'm waiting to finish making water for today's WC.
