Here is the current sump configuration, the main tank drains into both the sump and mangrovefugium while the fuge only flows back to the sump. We will be plumbing a frag tank some time shortly.

In additon to the fish deaths we lost half our mangroves in the transfer, these things REALLY dont like to be moved.

My bangii's are breeding again

!

Four of the little guys made it through the over flow into the sump where they were collected and transported to the fuge. Have had them there for about 2 weeks now and their growing fast, I take it they have been snacking on fuge pods as I have yet to feed them.

Nom nom nom:

My all so bad arse starry blenny:

Anyone know what these black spots are?

Maxi Mini:

Random actinic shots:

FTS with just the actinics, ISO's a tad high though

I love starry blennies!.......the little black spots could be brooklynella or they could be sting marks from hosting in a coral?

Tank looks awesome!!!! Our clowns both developed the black spots after they started hosting zoas and mushrooms. They are still confused by what to host, but no longer get spotty.

This thing makes me laugh every time I look at it, has to be the healthy combo of a plump little fish with over stated eye brows

. I think your right about the marks, both the clowns have them while none of the other fish do. They seem to be eating and swimming fine, anything I should be worried about Doug?

The odd thing is they really never host in anything, there are tones of soft things to sleep in but they seem to enjoy the glass corner over it all. Thanks for the compliment!

Nice shots that blenny is a thug!

My buddy has two clowns with the same black spots. They seem to have appeared after they started hosting his torch coral. I think 2 years later they still have the spots.
