The rays fine. He's bullet proof. With all the open sand, he's livin it up.

Rays are great. I loved the rays I had. I tried the tiny cortezes in a mostly open sand bed 150 reef. The first one I had for 6 monthe until he mysteriously succumbed to death. I think it was a heart attack or something, I am unsure. He was fine and I checked 20 minutes later and he was in the same place but now dead.

The second I only had for a week because he quickly died of worms and it was uncurable. I've considered trying one again and just haven't.

How long have you had him? Was he in the 600 gallon plywood or is he a new addition?

This os actually the 2nd one I've had. The 1st one lived in my 600 for about 2.5 yrs. One day it didn't come out to feed. I found him jammed b/w the tank koroguard background and the back of the tank. Some how he had trapped himself in there. This guy I got last spring/summer. He's been doing great ever since. The only issue, is sometimes the cleaner wrasse harasses him a bit. Right now the cleaner wrasse is in one of the side tanks.

The garden eel is cool!

Is it in the sand bed in your DT? If so won't the ray snack on him?

They're in my deepsand bed right now. I plan to add them to the DT. The Ray didn't bother them before, so hopefully he'll be the same when I finally add them to the DT.

Well it was a rough morning. I was stunned by this scene infront my tank.

Of course it's the Fowlers tang. Something must have startled it during the night. Another member of my household found him 1st. Someone explain to me why it's never the $20 yellow tang that jumps.

So with the Fowlers dead, I decided I could add the rest of my small tangs and one naso.

my Yellow tang has seen better days

A few Full tank shots.

Looking Good!!!! That sucks what happened to the Fowler's Tang, you planning on making some mesh covers for the tank?

 

[Mr. Brooks]

[TandN]

Eventually I'm gonna make a canopy. That should do the trick. The Fowlers was the new guy. The rest have been in my system for years, so I shouldn't have a problem with them jumping.

Looking good. Love all the fish. Especially the tangs. Sorry to hear about the Fowler though!

Just got back from vacation. Thought I'd upload some pics of snorkelling in Tortola.

Haha. All I know is after seeing wild Atlantic Blue and Baha tangs, I want one of each for my tank.
