All the Coral I got from you Madreefer are alive and healthy with the exception of one and it died within days of going in the tank Shaun is aware of it as well.

As to the cause of my tank partially crashing only suspect I have is the Mushroom leather coral that died as it was a fair size and it hadn't been doing well lately due to my Lawnmower Blenny continually pushing the rock it was attached to over. My tank is again healthy and all is good again.

Picture of tank taken this morning everything is in full bloom

Well thats good to hear? Is that a cleaner wrasse or neon goby on the right of your tank? Those corals are kinda brown since I last seen them. You might want to start ramping up the intensity of your LEDs.

All the coral are vibrant colours just the way I took picture makes them look blah sorry about that

I sure hope you did'nt pay the $74.99 price tag they were asking for the one at our LFS. Cuz ther's a breeder in Kamloops that sells them for $15. They do better in pairs.

I got the goby and green chromis's from J&L and I rescued the Blenny and yellowtail from Total Pet also known as aptasia central got both for $35 bucks. Last lawnmower blenny they got he priced at $70 bucks haven't seen another yellowtail since I got this guy in sept.

So you gonna take back your damsels when the aggresion begins?

I try not to go in there. When I see a guy grabbing fish out of the net with his hands to put in the bag it kind of turns me off. Plus I dont really like it when they try to give me lessons on reefing. I feel as though i've been reefing longer than he's been alive.
