I had to pull the tank apart to get the pistol out of there!
I added an extra bit of rock and well "urchie"
here's a few snaps with the Sony tx10

just a quick recap

Well I made it 8 and a half weeks with NO FISHIES!!!!!
I think I earned myself a clownfish don't you?
I also axed that coral tree skeleton (the one covered in cyano) the cyano was gross making the zoas p'od and the aptasia liked it. so I scrapped it.

I moved my tank to our new house with zero issues it now has a prominent place in my kitchen and not in a yucky basement suite.
This is my new friend "Nemo" I wanted to call him Fezzik but my brother in law came over and was like OH LOOK OH OH OH ITS A NEMO HI LITTLE NEMO!!!! OH YOU ARE A CUTE NEMO!!!! FOR THREE FRACKING DAYS. I've never seen a trades person Harley nerd gush like a little girl before.

While the beast was disassembled I took the time to reshape my rockwork and add an extra "cave"
I also pulled the xenia as 5lbs of rock covered in it gets crazy FAST!

So it's been just over a month with the clownfish!!!
I rehomed the coral banded as he was eating my peppermints. He is doing just fine in Steve's eel tank!
I added a hectors goby,cleaner shrimp and a very small occ. As well as a few more frags!

Glad to be finding some success. Is it normal to want to redo my rock work AGAIN! I want more of this kind of look but I think the livestock would be mad at me.

how do you guys stack your rockwork so tall! I don't suppose any of you guys wanna come help LOL.

Also Rustydog gave me this I think it's pretty. I love candycanes.

Steve has a stunning scoly coral that looks like a nuclear cupcake and I want it soooo bad. But I've spent enough cash at his store this week.
moving up in the tank world! Next tank a red sea max S line! (hey a girl can dream right????)

Your tank looks very good, you should be proud of it and in time it will only mature with more grow.

Thanks!
I took two small pieces of gsp and did my waterchange.
When the top of the tank was empty I put a drop of superglue on each piece. I put one in a high flow area (it took off) and one in a low flow area. (it survives but hasn't grown.) I'd love to have my whole back wall covered but I don't have enough flow. I'm using the Koralia nano power heads.

So I'm now entertaining the idea of an 80 gallon tank...hahhaa (matter of time)
now to find a contractor out here to see if my floor can deal with 1000lbs of fish tank.

It wouldn't be set up for another 6 months or so as there is too much going on and I love my biocube but I think it's time to start hunting for glass. I'm looking at either the 80gallon fluval osaka or the 60 gallon solana. If I have to go new it will be the solana otherwise I don't buy that stuff retail EVER.
a couple bucks a gallon is all I like to pay for a non specialty fish tank.
