I got this little Aatlantic blue about a month ago. He's the size of a quarter and has been holding his own with the other big fish. Since the names Big Blue and Little Blue are taken. I'll call him Little Yellow. LOL
Here are some pics of the new refugium/sump area.
And the sandbed with my powder blue and Fowlers acclimating.

same poly tanks I used. I like them more than the Rubbermaids, but you have to be careful about standing on the rims.
Ya I guess technically they're not rubbermaids. A lot lighter to carry than glass too. I'll try not to stand on them too much. LOL
Cougarman,
Great work. Nice to see some more photos of your fish.
What more can I say about your Duss ... just beautiful. I will just have to be patient and wait for mine to reach full adult colouration.
How is the Naso tonganus ? I do not see the ugly little guy in any pictures. I picked up Randall's Tang book ... I did not know what the adults look like until I saw him there. Very interesting and rare tang - again only a face that a tang freak would love ;-)
Thanks again,
Bruce

That's a good question. I'm not sure whether it actually does help with the nitrates or not. I tested the nitrates yesterday, and they were at 5. I guess I could do a test and shut off the flow to my sandbed, then see if the nitrates start to climb. I'd rather leave things be as my acros have responded to my feeding, and are starting to grow again. I could sell off the sand, but I'll probably keep it for when I move houses and build a bigger tank and system. In the very least, the sandbed adds some diversity and numbers to the systems flora and fauna.

do you have or had the porc with the clams? I had a little valentini that tore up one of my clams.... poor thing
Sorry man I missed this post. I'm actually running 3 different bulbs. They are all 400w metal halides, but temperatures are different. The leftside is 20000k XM, the middle is 15000K XM and the right side is 10000K XM. I've just ordered 2 more 20000K bulbs. The livestock seems to prefer that temperature over the others.
Thanks Bruce. Good to hear from you. Congrads on getting the dussumieris. Hopefully it wont take too long to reach adulthood.
You have a sharp eye. The juvy tonganus must have dissapeared around the same time as the idol b/c he's not in the tank anymore. Darn it! Well they show up from time to time as unknowns, cheap too, so if I want another it is just a matter of time.

I just noticed the moray. Have you had any problems with him picking off small fish and inverts?
