So, you are going for a FOWLR? Almost looks like it's on the verge of reefism Looks good!
Thanks!
Do you know if anyone on the board is breeding the Bengai's?
Was thinking of adding some softies, but sps or lps - haven't decided whether to remortgage or not to get some more lights...

Things are starting to color up and the Tangeroa Goby has decided the Damsels aren't going to eat him and he came completely out of his cave, last night. Unfortunately, I wasn't fast enough with the camera to catch him on the sand, but you can see his head

Hmmm, pictures won't upload - hopefully tonight I can post the updated pics. V.

Okay, here's the frag delivery I got this week from Interior Reef. Chris was a lot of help.
They're real nice, started to open up while I was still acclimating them.

Thanks & Thanks.
Its hard to see in the pictures how much the coraline has picked up since the rock went in, but it sure is looking better than day 1.
I'm discovering more hitchhikers every day - found a 4mm diameter x 2cm long brown tube worm/crab today hiding in the rockwork!

Default Updates with macro

Just a few pics of how it looks tonight with Macro from FitoPharmer in Kamloops - Thanks, Matt!

First ~ The fuge with a bit of macro:



And a few of the tank with macro, Cardinal & Royal Gramma &
one of the Candy Canes from Chris @ Interior Reef hiding in the macro:



The Green Zoa (?) I got from a friend isn't doing so good, but
the Green Yuma, Orange Recordia & the Blue Zoa's
I got from Chris @ Interior Reef seem to be doing just fine

Default Pistol-Tangaroa Goby + friends

Tried to get some shots of my Pistol Shrimp & Tangaroa Goby who have paired up.
I had the Goby in the tank for about 2mo's before adding the Pistol. They paired up right away, then started building a house on the back of the reef
They now have tunnels from the back to the front under the live rock. A lot easier to see them that way. Even when I couldn't see it, I knew the Pistol was doing good 'cause every once in a while I'd hear him click his claws at someone. Its not easy to get good pics, the Pistol does his bulldozer impression then scoots back in the hole.
Also got some pic's of some of the newer residents, Peppermint Shrimp, Lawnmower Blenny, Coral Beauty Angel and Coral Banded shrimp.
If anyone can ID the Pistol, I'd appreciate it.
Vic


Peppermint Shrimp

Homer, my Lawnmower Blenny

Coral Beauty Angel

Coral Banded Shrimp

Purple Xenia & Blue Zoa
The Xenia has a lot more color, just kinda washes out in the photo.
