Did they come from Treasures from the Sea? They look great. I have always liked Bangaiis. Plan to have at least one when I setup my new tank. Great thread also, have been following it and I am in the planning stages for an inwall as well. Glad to see you got through the hole in the wall. Pun intended.

Thanks
yes i got them from treasures from the sea, $20 each. She had 7 of them but 3 were held for someone else so i picked up the other 4. They are great so far in the tank. They want to eat, but spit out some flake food i tried.
Hopefully my sixline leaves them alone when i transfer it to the 120.
Eventually i'll put a mag float on the front of the tank to clean the sand/rock film on it.

unfortunately they are not captive bred, however they are super active and not shy. They looked too nice in the store and seem very healthy so i had to get them.
Hopefully they last awhile, I like the look of bangaii.
Also hope my screen for my scrubber shows up today so i can finish building that.

The Royal Gramma I received from Monk was doing the same thing with the pellets and flakes I feed my other fish. Would try to eat them then spit them out. After a couple of days I tried frozen formula 1 cubes. It devours that, so I feed a half a cube a day or so so that he/she gets to eat. Haven't had any luck with any other foods. Keep trying. They are beautiful fish. (In other words, I am jealous).

made a big order from reefs2go.com for tons of inverts (great prices). My cleanup crew is going to be all crabs, no snails except for the ones in my current tank.
why no snails? faith that my algae scrubber will do its job. Plus i have about 40 turbo snails in my current tank that will transfer.

Looks really good what are you going for when it comes to aquascaping, a full look or a more open look. If you want a more open look then you can do two islands, thats what i did with my new tank and couldnt be happier with it, its open in the middle for my clams and lps or whatever i have and the two islands on the side. If you are going for a full look then i would leave it how it is.
Did your Bangii start to eat yet, i had one that would eat nothing but Mysis shirmp, and thats it just to let you know. Great job so far, what are you putting in there a mix of corals or just one kind.

what i ended up doing is keeping what i have and then slope it upward to the right. I have a long tunnel the fish use and they seem to love it, this is why i didnt make 2 islands.
Plus that is what the GF said she wanted me to do and anything that gets her involved in the tank is :beer:
Yes the bangaii are eating. 2 of them seem to be pairing, and fighting with the other 2 that seem to have gone solo. Not sure if the one is going to make it, but all of them are eating well. They are spitting everything out but the mysis but since the other fish are eating the pellets/flakes, am hoping it forces them to eat other foods.

the rest of the LR in the sump. I moved the chaeto to where the water flows in so now it tumbles
Nice have the RK2 on my tank and love it, so im sure the lite will be just as good. As far as the Bangii goes, like i said mine ate nothing but mysis i tried pellets and flakes but he never ate any of it, however i also have a pajama cardnial, and all he will eat is pellets, and wont even touch the mysis. So i feed a mixure now and just mix it all together and feed it that way. The rock work looks nice and if the GF likes it then it must be good.

Yours should be easy, move everything to a sep container for temporary housing and dump the rest of the contents out. Mine just plumb sucks.
