So it has been a while since I updated... Things ended up moving a whole lot faster than I planned. We noticed the stand the temporary holding tank was on was not holding. it had started to sag and the legs were splaying... Therefore the fish got moved to the new tank about 5 weeks sooner than I wanted.

I have put a larger peice of PVC around the 1 " returns and have drilled 1 and 1/2 inch holes to hang the rockwork as best I can.

This is the right Pillar initally


The left pillar initally


I then had a little issue with keeping the pillar glued down. I had initally just siliconed it to the bottom of the tank. I have now used coral glue and aquarium expoxy.

It now looks like this:


I still have some rocks to finish hanging and then I can glue the few corals I have.

Default Update

So I have taken a full tank shot today.


I have some new live stock:
long tenticled anemone
blue sided fairy wrasse
red striped hawk fish
3 orange mushrooms
3 green hairy mushrooms

My old livestock is:
sailfin tang
2 pink skunk clownfish
2 perc clownfish
orange spoted goby
bi-coloured blennie

I don't have a lot of coral/mushrooms:
2 colonies of green star polyps
green candy cane coral
and one that I thought was a Chalice but I don't think it is.(I would love an ID)


I am waiting for a set of lights I bought of a member. 72" T5 and 3x250 watt mhi. I am just waiting for it to be shipped. I am hoping that will give me some added light and allow me to look at other coral as well. I want to go with LED's but... I need to save up for a bit.
