got the Vortech! oh sweet jesus I am in love. played around with it for a bit, got a nice wave going in the tank, but it stirred up alot of the fine sand, so we set it to random (reef crest) mode....going about 80% at most. You should see the stuff it's pulling from the rock!!

Light gets here Monday, Cleanup crew and a few fish get here Tuesday!!!!

small school of these:


aaaaand:


and this be de clean up crew!:

Oh nice wrasse! You are hilarious...this build has certainly widened in scope and budget as we all predicted!

Why no MP60 tho come on haha?

shhhh....the MP40 was 400 bucks...

That wrasse is bad a--!....only $35 and is reef safe. I was a little worried that we might be going too fast but I tested the water before I ordered all the stuff and everything was where it should be...I guess buying dry rock has its advantages...I did see a small ammonia spike etc after the scallop, but with the addition of about 3lbs cured live rock numbers went back to normal.

Hurry up next week!

Rubriventralis is one of my favourite fairy wrasses. Totally reef safe and peaceful. A little timid as are most of the smaller fairies but over time will become bolder.

I am super excited for that fish. As of right now there is nothing to do in/with the tank until Monday or Tuesday...but I find myself cruising liveaquaria drooling over everything. PS! In the diver's den there's a pair of fish going for a cool 1600.00....are you kidding me?!?!?!?

Next up, cruising the local site for some free or next to free coral...dun dun dun

Ya, but they are Candy Basslets. Now that ladies and gentlemen is a badass fish! This fish has been my holy grail fish for years. I WILL get one...one day.

Oh, and I totally LOL'ed as I watched the thread go from nano to 75 gallons! Too funny.

Yeah the Candy is also one of my most desired fish. Ching Chai on RC with the 1000g has a pair I think. Stunning reef fish but not for this budget reefer.
