once everything was up and running i decided to make a change to the in-tank layout. i started out byt taking all rock out and placing in bins/all over the floor.



Then piled it up somewhat how i wanted it to look and busted out the epoxy and tried to get it all to fit back together how i had previously had it (didn't get it the same, but very close).




it ended up coming out like this:

the tanks stayed in this layout for a few months... and in that time i had noticed little polyps popping themselves out of the rocks where they had previously been(years ago). They must have been hiding in there waiting for me to become qualified to give them a nice clean tank/good water parameters.

Here is a shot of them with my mystery coral right beside them (some kind of cabbage?)



it was around this time that i lost my vlamingi tang... it was soon after that when i decided to do a little more rearranging on the left side of the rock work (as i was pretty content with what was happening on the right).

made a few changes to the livestock... hippo tang has moved to a better home as did the flame (he was getting tag teamed by the other 2 angels and i didnt wanna let him get too beat up).

just added these nice little fellas.. been in for a few days and havent seen any nipping... they are still getting chased a bit by the coral beauty but seems like all will be well.

well, had to get rid of the Heniochus shortly after they were added (thanks to my friend the coral beauty). But i did just add a small six line wrasse that has been getting on quite nicely for a bit over a week now(thank god).

also just got a 48" Blue Reefbrite XHO to try out... here are a few pics

let me know what ya think
