110g Mixed Reef V2

I got the flex hose from PPE, laguna is the brand. We can get whatever size glass you need. I used an old scratched up 20g tank for the baffles in my sump and I had ***** @********* cut the glass for the overflow.

My week off was way to short and I didnt get near as much done as I thought I would. I made sure the re-model on the tank got done though.






The kole tang seemed really timid and wasnt eating much while in the qt tank (It may have picked at some seaweed). Every time I entered the room it would wedge itself under one of the rocks and hide for the next hour. I left it in the qt for a week and a half with no signs of it really eating and figured I would roll the dice and put it in the display. It hid for the rest of the evening it was introduced, but the next day it was like a completely different fish. It was out and about, checking things out and picking at the rock, albeit nervously. Im wondering if the 33g qt tank was to small to try and qt a tang? The kole is only about 4", so I thought the qt would be big enough, but the tang sure seemed to feel uneasy. This was my first time qt ing a fish. I had always just released new additions into the display, until my last addition and the series of events that followed prompted me to set up a qt. Im not sure that qt ing is the way to go.It just seemed to add another stress into the fishes life. I will however continue to qt the one or two last fish I plan on adding.Hopefully I will leave the next one in the qt for longer than I did with the kole. I have a small 3-4" regal tang in qt now and Im thinking either a mystery wrasse, bluespot jawfish or a magnificent foxface that A-newb(Francis) got me thinking about. So in the tank now is a pair of ocellaris clowns, a royal gramma, a flame angel, a bi-color angel, a talbots damsel, a hectors goby( I think) and the kole tang. That should pretty much stuff the tank. Speaking of stuffing the tank, I brought home three new acro colonies and a nice orange acan from the shop the other day.

I thought I would share a few pics that I think turned out pretty good.

Part of my zoa collection. Im hoping they will eventually cover the whole slab.


Between the corals and the coraline I have a rainbow ROYGBIV


The sps shelf. Patiently awaiting a more even dispersal throughout the tank(waiting for new light).
