Few shots of my fishes

Wow, great video!
Haha, I can't believe that naso survived in the overflow for that long ! What was it eating? And is he back in the DT now?

He ate whatever came his way I suppose. He went missing and I looked all over for him, on the floor and yes in the overflows. Musta missed him. One day I was looking down on the tank from above, and I saw him in the overflow. I looked up in my records when he had gone missing and it had been 6 months! The overflow is maybe 8"X5" and has pipes in it, and the fish was 4-5 inches, so he didn't have very much room for a long time. It was very hard catching him in the overflow, but he was immediately put in the DT and is doing great. I was so happy to find him! I had gone through several Nasos which died mysteriously, I believe due to cyanide. The two I have now are healthy, growing and doing great. The larger is just beginning to grow streamers on his tail.

The smaller was the one in the overflow:

Here is an older video of the tank, one emperor is an adult, the other is still a juvenile.

Stunning Emperor. Always liked them, just been too nervous about them with corals.

Very nice

Emperor is my all time favorite. I'd risk any coral for that fish. If only my tank was big enough.

Fishes are doing well. They are all eating, at least blackworms.

The moorish idol is such a good looking fish but i was told i can't get him because they are not reef safe

Here is a video of the tank. There is a black Naso in the video, he has passed away. He replaced a blonde Naso that disappeared. After the black Naso passed, I found the missing blonde Naso living in my overflow. He had been in there for 6 months! So now I have the 2 blonde Nasos.

Seriously, I don't know how you didn't find him for so long. Looks pretty obvious to me.

Curious what you feed your fish. I have a bunch of tangs with a hippo being 5 years old, and a 1year old blueface angel (adult from a juvi). The BF is my favorite fish and would risk my coral for him. My issue is he only eats 70% NLS pellets and 30% algae sheets. Color seems great but would hate for him to develop HLLE. I also feed frozen which he doesn't touch. Weird...
The hippo hasn't develop any signs of HLLE, and I know they are prone to it, so it seems my water quality, and feeding are ok. But then again it eats frozen.

 

[pinnatus]

I must confess, I am very lazy. In general, I feed almost exclusively NLS pellets. Sometimes I mix in various sizes and other brands of pellets, since now I have some very large fish and some very small ones. And, now that I have the butterfly and Rock Beauty, I have also been feeding frozen Mysis and Rod's food, since neither fish seems to eat pellets. The Idol also likes Nori, but I haven't been feeding Nori in a long while.

The emps do have mild signs of HLLE. Maybe now that I am feeding some other things it will go away.
