It looks great Josh! Can't wait to see it all lit up and covered in coral! I love the length! The shallow depth really makes for a unique look. I LOVE it!

I can't wait to have it completely lit up either... It's driving me nuts.

I think the wave would look better if it was an all softie tank..

haha! Thanks.


I ended up ****ing off a few corals today. I decided to ditch the 1 piece of LR that had GHA growing on it, but in that decision I had to break off my Pokerstar Monti (actually got most of it off in one piece. ), Green Millepora, and 2 deep waters that I'm unsure of the species. Tossed that rock in a rubbermaid to cook and replaced it with a piece from the right of the tank.. Aquascape hasn't changed too much, however it did open up a bit more sand bed...

Striped Bristletooth Tang.


and

Blue Sided Fairy Wrasse.



Currently Stocked List:
1 Female Occelaris Clown
1 Male True Percula Clown
1 Coral Beauty Angel
1 6 Line Wrasse(hole)
1 Blue Sided Fairy Wrasse
1 McCoskers Flasher Wrasse (MIA currently)

Small temporary upgrade until I can get around to buying my lights... I got a temporary Hamilton 250W mh (on loan Thanks again Kev) tonight.. It is only a 10K bulb, but at least I can get some frags mounted and provide them with some better lighting.. I was forgetting what it was like to have a fully lit tank.. The end is actually more lit up than it appears in the pic.

Well with the loaner light hung and in place.. I was able to mount 7 frags that been sitting in my frag rack poorly lit and not getting the flow they needed.

Welcome to Stick-ville... 5/7 are just that!





Montipora Confusa:


Acropora Granulosa:


All 7 frags:

Finally starting to gain some trust from the 2 newbies in the tank, which helps get some better pics than I posted previously.

Missed the focus on this guy, but couldn't pass up sharing the pic..








And one more coral pic that I forgot earlier:
