few things have changed. i got rid of my CL. i bought 2 wavy seas and 2 tunze 6100 to mount to them. still waiting on the tunzes to arrive. purchased a couple fish, no pictures though because i'm still waiting on lighting to arrive. i bought a med blonde naso, juvenile tomini and a juvenile atlantic blue tang. currently in the tank i have 4 chromis, 2 oscellaris clowns (from my 10gallong) and a bengaii cardinal. all tangs were doing really good in store, had them there for week and a half except for the atlantic blue but when i got home the naso was laying sideways in bag. so i acclimated and put them in the tank and the naso pretty much just gets blown around by the current until he finds a rock to prop himself up on. i hope he does better. the other two tangs are very happy, acting like best friends. nervous about the naso though. anyone had this happen with tangs acclimating. i've seen it many times in stores on new arrivals and then the next day they are fine.

Doesn't sound like he was healthy. Sideways swiming could be a bladder problem. and if the current was pushing him around doesn't sound like he was in good shape at all. I could have happened when he was caught.
Sorry for your loss it's never a good feeling loosing a fish J

Aw crap. I agree with Jason - doesn't sound like he was in great shape to begin with or was injured when caught.
I finally got a bit better picture of mine - these guys get very big but are such a nice fish to have as they are not bully's at all - although at 12-14" nothing really tries to bully him although I am pretty sure my conspic would like to sometimes as he is a bully.

there is some good that has come of it. i called the LFS and they said they dont usually do it but they will make it good with me. still i hate to lose a fish, especially a marine fish. but thats part of the game i guess. that is an awesome picture ruth. the naso has been on the top of my list for fish that i want for this tank.

i picked up the battery backup unit for the vortech pumps. pretty impressive unit. with a full charge it will run a pump for 30 hours at half speed. the driver in the pump will recognized the reduced power input and automatically reduce its speed to half speed. if you have your pump manually set below half speed it will stay there. this unit can power 2 pumps as well, i just have to buy the extra cable to hook it up. it is a little heavy so i'm going to have to try and figure out where to put it. initially i wanted to mount it on the top ceiling of my stand but i dont think the screws will hold it. the battery last for approximately 5 - 7 years and icecap will replace the battery at this time for a fraction of the cost which i thougt was pretty cool.
