Now that the Powder brown has been here a week, I am finding he is getting quite bold with the other fish and it turning into a real bully. He may not work out so well. He hates the tusk who now has badly nipped fins, my Naso has nipped fins, Copperband a little bit of a nipped tail, Yellow Tang nipped fins...the only one I see chasing any other fish anymore is the Powder Brown. I will give it a few weeks and see if he clams down. Hopefully they are just working things out. Its flaring up the ich in the tank quite a bit though. Funny thing is, the Powder Brown doesn't really have ich. Its the poor tusk thats covered. Kind of weird but I guess he is stressed out. Should go away in a few days.

Added about 20 lbs. of LR the past week and so did some rearranging. Finally got the left side of the tank done too.

I am finding that there is way too much sps though and not enough variety or diversity. Not looking natural enough for me So I am after some more softies and LPS right now.

I have some beautiful photosynthetic sea fans coming from Cuba in a month or so too that will really finish this tank off I think. As well as a variety of photosynthetic gorgonians from both Cuba and Florida hopefully.

Really needs some time to grow in but I am starting to see some potential I think








Lots more new pics to come later

Tank is looking really nice! I like all that open space for the fishes to do their thing. In a few more months when the corals have filled in more it's going to look terrific.

Thanks.

Im thinking about 6-8 months, things might really start to look how I hoped. The fish have even more room than you can see in the pictures because the pictures really don't give a good idea of the depth of the tank. Being 2.5' deep is really nice. Most people who come by don't really realize how big the tank is unti they look at it from the end. I will take some pics of the depth.

Right now I am just focused on dealing with this ich outbreak that the Powder Brown seems to be causing. Hes such a little brat.

Mine is 30 inches deep too. I love the extra 6 inches. Large fish can turn around at full speed instead of having to put the brakes on.

Yeah your tank is just taller right? I think a few inches?
