Yeah I hate to throw it away...If I wait long enough, I can collect enough to trade for a credit at a LFS but it doesn't always work out. I have to be careful to keep the Caulpera happy and that usually means pruning it often. Its also so aggressive that I need to prune it just to make sure other algaes can get nutrients from the tank.

I found a few of these green mushrooms one day...not sure where they came from but they have multiplied like crazy and are getting pretty big. I hope to add more and more corals as time goes on. Only stuff found in lagoons though and only pink/red or green colours.

Cool tank, cool puffers, and that's an awesome painting above the tank!

Thanks for the compliments! That painting is one of a series I did of various fish and sea creatures. All black and white. I have been painting for many many years since art school and these fish paintings are actually the first ones that I have ever hung in my own place. Usually I feel uncomfortable hanging my own work but these ones just fit too well with the room

Awesome tank! Love the lagoon look. I'm going to try to do this in my 90g.

What macros do you have in there? I'm trying to stay away from the caulerpas just in case. I would love some get some grasses too, but I've never seen any here.

When did you get the narrow line?

Yeah hes a great fish! Unfortunately though he is growing really fast and is starting to look like the tank will be too small for him...its only 130G. He should still grow double the size he is now. Plus with the narrow line in there too, Im getting worried...Thats a lot of Puffer for this tank!!! I may have to upgrade late this year or next.
