700g in the mix-

update-with the 4 day weekend, I'm gonna
start moving corals over from the 450. I plan on
doing a 10min. tmpcc dip to all the acro's before
they go in wether they need it or not-good idea?
Three acanthrus tangs-chocolate,powder blue and
achilles have settled in over the past few weeks,besides
the pair of african clowns still in the old tank, I need to
decide what to do with the others-3 purple ,1 chevron,
2 hippo tangs-sargassum trigger,cb butterfly,fairy wrasse,
tail spot bleny, janze pipe. The 450 is gonna be fowlr
and there is 3 puffers-mappa,porc and stars/stripes- in
my 150g /deep sand bed connected to the 700 waiting
to be moved over.Lots still to do
:rollface:
 
Im big into aquascaping and check this forum for inspiration.
The latest aquascape looks like its better. I was going to say whats the point of paying so much for reef ceramic if its just going to be covered up? the tank was looking too full of rock.... your robbing the fish of swimming space. Nice work so far
 
funny how you can have so much room and
too much rock. I had some real big pcs. and got
a little carried away,since I have done a little thinning
out and when all the corals are in, there will be more to
thin out I am sure. About the corals, moved a few
frags/colonies today. Meantime a real bad thing
happened-worst nightmare- my brand new achilles
that has settled in/eating everything-some how got
his dang mouth full of superglue while I was mounting
frags-dang. I do not know how the heck he got in it, I
have always worried about that happening-
very discouraging and might need to re-aquascape
just to catch him.
 
life is good!!!!!!!- Yes the fish had a beard
of glue and his mouth was glued shut. I fed and
he tried eating but could not get his mouth opened!!
I wake up today dreading to have to catch this fish,
but whatever happened overnight between him the
rocks and the other fish, dude's mouth is clean of all
glue and he can actually eat everything I throw in
the tank again.He does have signs of cryp/ich but
if my mouth was glued shut I would prolly get stressed
also.I will feed well today and hopefully he'll battle through.
:(
 
That's what I was thinking also, his face
isn't scarred from rock so I do not know,he
did eat good today so we'll see and by the
way thank you for the nice comments everyone
-still a work in progress.
 
update- pano style pic with the fish and corals transferred, all got treated with fluke tabs before going in to eliminate any unwanted pests, color is coming back and a few have already encrusted-things are looking up.

Very nice setup,I especially love the granite frameing on the front of the tank.Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing the finished setup.
 
Having that tank in a room with a pool table would scare the ... out of me. An errant ball could send it crashing, major flood. Wouldn't want to lose a reef like that.
