You're going to need a nice camera to take pics of your nice tank you know!

Well, not sure this is a nice camera but it's been a great point and shoot up til now.

Sadly, you can't really see my coral in this picture. Will have to see what I can do again this weekend.

Also, got someone exciting to add to the tank tonight. It was a deal that I could not pass up and assuming my yellow tang doesn't beat him to death...He's tough to get a picture of.

Love the Kole tang and hopefully the YT doesn't beat him to death. I have one in my 75g and contemplating if I should try a small YT, such awesome show fish due to its color.

The display looks amazing, great job so far, and how is the fish/desk room looking like nowadays?

Cute little sohal you've got there!

Your tank looks so clear and sharp. Are you running/dosing anything other then the bio capsules you mentioned before?

Thanks.

I only run prodibio...plus a little carbon. I have always thought it could look sharper...haha.

I broke my cardinal rule and put the Sohal in directly. I was not planning on buying any new fish and so my QT was not up to snuff ready. He had been in the store for several months (at $250) and was terrorizing everyone else in the tank. The store put him in a 15g partition. He is fat, eats well and has no spots or anything. The owner just needed to be able to use that tank for more so he offered to sell him to me for $99 "take it or leave it" and that was a deal I couldn't pass up.
Sadly, this morning my clown is covered in ICK...my wrasse has one or two spots as well.
My Yellow Tang is still beating the crap out of the Sohal and I'm not sure how to stop it either.

Ah...the pleasant joys of keeping saltwater.

Im sure it wont be long before the tide turns, Ive never had a sohal that wasnt king of the tank after a month or two. The one I have now is the smallest in the bunch, but wow, does he have attitude. Give him a couple days, im sure he'll be holding his own, and he'll set that yellow straight.

Oh no Mark! At least you learned the lesson early on instead of when the tank is full of fish.

The mirror trick should work for the Tang issue. YTs can be real a-holes.

Good luck!!!
