LOL thats my old canopy from the 90gal. I have all the stuff to build a new canopy that fits this tank just havent gotten around to it yet! Having the tank be a peninsula whould have been ideal however my living room does not allow the space for it.

How are all the corals doing? Any bleaching? Did you get a cycle at all?

The Corals are all doing great, i haven't had any bleaching or browning, still as colorful as they ever were. Ive never seen my clams do any better than they are now and my anemone is "happy as a clam". That being said this has been a devistating week for my fish. My PB Tang broke out in a massive ich infection. With a death a birth and a wedding in my family this past week i wasnt able to help him in time. He died and the ich spread like the plague, my lamrcks died, and yellow tang died, my blenny died, my goby died and one clown fish died. Its been a terribly sad week. The only fish i have left are a clown, a sixline wrasse and a damsel! The worst part about it is that i had to pull the rock work to get the tang and blenny out, they were both alive but too far gone. I had to have my brother in law come by and euthanize the fish for me. Ill post some pics tonight of the new rockwork and coral placement.

Ya, post some pics to relieve the pain!

In the future you can easily euthanize fish by putting them in a bag with just enough tank water to cover them, and put them in the freezer. One of the most humane ways.

Thats basically what my brother did, i just couldnt bear to do it myself. The two fish that were euthanized last night were my two favorite fish and the fish ive had the longest, going on 3 years!
