The tank is looking much better. Hair algae is nearly gone. I got a few more fish. (Falco Hawkfish and 12 Chromis). I have been trying to catch my Coral Beauty for the better part of a week now. (Little bugger is too smart for the bottle trap I used on the Foxface). I think I'll try to find some thin clear plastic like Chaloupa did for her Powder Blue (see TOTM thread). If not I'll have to resort to a baited hook. Aside from that everything else if going pretty well. I may change the 10K MH to something else. They're Coralife and I don't really like them. I have Ushio 10K in the 90 gal and like them, so I may try them, maybe in a 14k though. I will post up some pics shortly.

My new little Falco Hawkfish

As you can see, the HA is almost gone. I tried to get a shot of the LM Blenny but he wouldn't co-operate. His belly is so fat he looks like a little Buddha with gills. Time now to get a CUC for the tank. I also like to keep a few hermits in the sump as they do a great job with the detritus. As soon as I can catch the Coral Beauty from the 90 gal I can start to look for some of the larger fishes I've been wanting. IE. a tang or two, Harlequin Tusk, a large Angel, and then move the SF tang over from the 90. In the next little while I will be placing some livestock orders so if any Powell Riverites want to piggyback on my order, let me know.
