1st tank stocking

Very nice pictures. Look forward to seeing more. How is your bangai cardinal doing so far? I am considering adding one to my tank.

Banggais are doing great. They must be both female bc while they don't fight, they generally hang out on opposite sides of the tank. Very entertaining to watch eat. They dart around like shot out of a cannon.
 
Nice pictures! Our tank is only halfway set up, so we don't have any fish yet, but 3 of your 4 species are on our wishlist (royal gramma basslet, banggai cardinals, & ocellaris clowns). Also want an exquisite firefish & a yellow Midas blenny. You have some great looking stuff in your tank!

Thanks! I got a bunch of base rock yesterday so today while watching football it's going in the tank! Firefish is the last fish I want for my tank, though I've had multiple people saying I should add a dwarf flame angel too...we'll see how parameters go over the winter. Loving the a tiger Blenny so far. Just jumps around the rocks and despite being tiny and mostly transparent still, it looks great.
 
is this a serious question?

I believe it was. In their defence there are many coastal rivers that are salty pretty far inland. And shouldn't surprise you, oh fellow Canadian, that 'non-canucks' don't know one of the longest rivers in North America, that is one of the main tributaries of the biggest river in N.America.
 
Grrr. Epoxy I got didn't hold anything together. Really sucked. But put the rocks in and stacked safely for now, until. I can find an underwater and safe adhesive. Still better than it was.

A pair of zoanthid frags I got that were overflowing with polyps I tried to break up. For a first try I think it worked well. Snipped off pieces of the small frag plug base, then glued 1-3 polyps on each, then glued the small pieces to various spots on rocks to see which level they like best. Transplanted a blue spot mushroom to a bigger rock and found 3 smaller shrooms underneath! See how they grow out now.
 
Grrr...those stupid mushrooms do not stick to anything! Gave up with glue and decided to try an elastic. Not tight, but enough to hold it down.
 
Blah! Even with elastic son loose, the stupid mushrooms just split in half and floated away. I've caught them, glued them to small rocks, and put the rocks in little yoghurt cups under the lights but in lowest possible flow. Did that this morning and so far they're still attached!
