Oh and for anyone having bryopsis problems Kevin got in a nice big shipment of lettuce nudies, went strait to work and hasn't stopped mowing yet.

Well it's been a hectic last couple weeks but I'm very happy with the results, I decided to remove most of the livestock from my main tank, replace it with my zoas and then shut down the zoa tank. It was really hard to see most of it go but school has kept me busy so I think it's best for all.

Also managed to catch a 2.5" crab that I have been hunting for a while now

.

After removing the liverock/ coral I caught most of the fish and tried to reaquascape it as open as possible.

Current fish:
Pair of percs (1 Adult female Onyx and 1 male snowclown morph)
Pair of Red long fin wrasses
Yellow Tang
Flash Gordon
Tail Spot Blenny
Potters Dwarf Angel
Flame Back Dwarf Angel
Pair of Fire Shrimp
Pair of Cleaner Shrimp
4 Peppermints

I will let the photos do most of the talking though, this is an old camera with wonky setting's so everything looks mushroom trip like:

Interesting sort of step-up approach for the aquascaping. Nice work! Love those mangroves.

Thanks Tony! I found a large rock of those Bam Bam's that I was looking for, it looks a little haggard right now but if it gets better I will cut you a frag for the new tank.

I got a large rock of the Dragon Eye's, Copper rings and a few others off Kevin but the Bam Bam's were from Ocean City. These are with the same camera, different settings (Still playing with it) but just the actinics on.

I can't wait for everything to grow in at this point, I destroyed about 10 lbs of live rock and dumped it between the colonies which should make for some great growth.

And a few randoms:

I've gone from feeding 8+ cubes of frozen per feeding to 1 and that's still a bit much. Good bye nitrates

So are you keeping this tank? maybe add a bit more rock?

Yup just have the one big one for now, will be keeping the aquascaping the way it is now. I'm a big fan of the open look and the fish seem to be enjoying the extra swimming space so it's all working out.
