Very nice man...I like how you have the rock set up.

 

[tjohnson27209]

Thanks...I had to strategically place the rocks so that the fish could swim threw every single cave without having to turn around...in my 4yrs of keeping fish I have noticed the more a fish has to stop and turn around the higher the percentage of disease outbreaks from stress... Thanks again for the compliment...I've actually been down to sarasota beautiful part of florida :beer:

Nice looking setup, I have always been a fan of coral beauties. Just personal preference but I would either paint or put a background on the tank to hide your wires.

Yea planning on putting a background up on it when I move the tank in about a month...havent decided if I want to go black or deep blue though...

Typically, angels like to forage on more established rock. Yours looks extremely clean. Make sure it's keeping its body weight up. I like the way you arranged your rocks. I'd go black for your background. Blue only looks good if you keep the back glass scraped imo.

Good luck.

My rock has plenty of micro-algae that the camera couldnt pick up for some reason...the coral beauty is always picking at them....funny thing is that my wrasse also picks at the algae which I have never seen in my 4yrs of fish keeping
