The tank is looking much better. Hair algae is nearly gone. I got a few more fish. (Falco Hawkfish and 12 Chromis). I have been trying to catch my Coral Beauty for the better part of a week now. (Little bugger is too smart for the bottle trap I used on the Foxface). I think I'll try to find some thin clear plastic like Chaloupa did for her Powder Blue (see TOTM thread). If not I'll have to resort to a baited hook. Aside from that everything else if going pretty well. I may change the 10K MH to something else. They're Coralife and I don't really like them. I have Ushio 10K in the 90 gal and like them, so I may try them, maybe in a 14k though. I will post up some pics shortly.

Ok Mike, thanks.

Ok, a few pics from tonight.

My new little Falco Hawkfish

As you can see, the HA is almost gone. I tried to get a shot of the LM Blenny but he wouldn't co-operate. His belly is so fat he looks like a little Buddha with gills. Time now to get a CUC for the tank. I also like to keep a few hermits in the sump as they do a great job with the detritus. As soon as I can catch the Coral Beauty from the 90 gal I can start to look for some of the larger fishes I've been wanting. IE. a tang or two, Harlequin Tusk, a large Angel, and then move the SF tang over from the 90. In the next little while I will be placing some livestock orders so if any Powell Riverites want to piggyback on my order, let me know.

Looking good, did you get that school of chromis from Bob? I was thinking of some blue chromis for mine. How are your frags from snappy doing?

Love the aquascaping you've done.

Those platforms should provide some great bases for BIG colonies.

Just let me know when and where

*Edit* Oh and did you want a large hairy green mushroom? I have one thats just about detached, if you don't want it then it gets flushed (unless someone else speaks up of course)

Sure. Let me know when you want me to come and get it.

Yes, from Bob. All 12 of them. Snappy's frags are doing fine. Some are growing faster than others, but all in all pretty good. They've coloured up nicely.
