265 gallon setup

i totally agree muck, but holy cow trying to get him to stay still for the photo. thank god for digital cameras because i probably would have gone through a few rolls on him alone with 35mm. the mystery wrasse is amazing. the coloring of him is nuts. the whipfin wrasse is beautiful as well but again good luck getting pictures.

I hear ya.

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..

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.
