Default Pic Heavy!

Mounted most of my corals and things are starting to actually look pretty good. I am noticing little spots of the flourescent yellow cyano starting to form on my rocks which you can see in some of my pics.. i might be proactive and do a 3day blackout or maybe even dose chemiclean and try and get rid of it for good. Here are some pics:

















Some of the new acan lords I picked up from Titus




Know what this is?




Sunset Milli


Red Planet




Fatty and his entourage

Ya been playing around with the bulb combos, not sure if I like it this way or if I should replace a Blue+ with an Aquablue Special

Oh nice! I'm a bit of a wrasse addict too! Are you going to put a mesh cover over the tank or just roll the dice and cross your fingers? :-)

+1 I'd definitely go for a mesh cover. They will jump. I can guarantee most(if not all) my wrasse's would have made it to the floor by now if my tank wasn't covered. My Lubbok's has even made to the floor 3 times already from me just lifting a corner enough to get my arm in the tank.

Ya unfortunately it's not so much a matter of "if" they will jump but more so a matter of "when". I've had wrasses that I thought were safe and would never jump, then one day out the blue, months (sometimes years) after owning them I'd find them dried up on the floor

Thanks for the heads up guys.. Might just have to do make one. I made one for my 90 so it shouldn't be too tough to whip up another.

Do they actually manage to jump out even with 4 inches of euro bracing around the rim?

Yes, I had two wrasses for about 4 months and found then dried up outside my tank. I have decided at this time not to go for any wrasses unless I build a mesh.
