What kind of sand can survive that onslaught man? Acans are purdy!

thanks Brett.....sand doesnt survive......V2 will probably end up being like V1.....V1 was a 50/50 split.....bare bottom up front and sand at the back......maybe I could get some of that cool colored gravel and sprinkle that up front

they dont seem to mind to much....that being said they dont look as puffy as Jmes's cans....... I dont target feed my corals at all, so that could be a reason they dont extend as far as some acans.....I also have a favia in the big tank that seems to be doing well....probably something to do with their "low profile".....I used to have a massive frogspawn in V1 that I ended up having to sell because of my flow increases....

New fishy for me!!!.... finally got my mystery wrasse.....now we are so happy we do the dance of joy*does little happy dance*.....Ive had him for a couple weeks.... he was placed in my tank via a covert operation....the fish came in while I was in E-town for a week....Mikey(Guappo) was taking care of my tank(tanks again mang!) and just so happened to pop into the shop right when the fish shipment came.....I had told Kevin that if the fish came in to call me and I would pick it up before it got acclimated to the fish system.....obviously with me in E-town that couldnt happen so Kevin sent the fish home with Mikey....the buggers didnt tell me about it, so I almost had two mystery wrasses.....Kevin had mentioned by PM that the wrasses were coming in, so I spent the whole week in Edmonton thinking about the wrasse I had waiting for me at the shop.....I was so excited that I stopped at the shop on the drive home from E-town to pick it up...the shop was closed so I let my self in and went to the clam tank(where I asked Kevin to put the wrasse) and it wasnt there....so I start looking around the shop and there is one in a different tank.....so, ok, there he is........I start to get the stuff together to net and bag him and I thought, maybe I should give Kev a call....so I call Kevin to get the scoop and he basically had to spill the beans and tell me that he and Mike had added my wrasse to my tank already.......whew...that was close.....I dont need two wrasses!

snapped a few pics while in the tank last night...
