I think the wrasse is a Lubbucks? Lubbocks? I'm not sure on the spelling.

I'm totally digging that pseudochromis.. splendens? He has the coolest shape. Everyone looks really happy in there Craig!

Looks like your off to a good start. What are your plans on the cracking paint?

You have some really nice fish in there. What equipment are you running?

Thanks all. I just added my cleaner goby, another conch, and a skunk cleaner shrimp. 5 minutes later, I found the cleaner shrimp bit in half...that damn dottyback has to be the culprit...the wrasse is not large or aggressive enough(and the other day I saw the dottyback eating bristleworms...I'm also sure he's the reason for my cardinalfishes badly nipped tails)

My idea for the cracking paint is to probably leave it the way it is...it gives some feeling. I've also thought of a black teflon paint to cover in the holes. Th flash made it much more noticable than it usually is, though.

Right now running an AquaC EV-180...will be moving to the 240 at some point when I start adding corals. Mag 24 return. 2 hydor koralia 4s when I get the other off the smaller tank. Solaris when I am ready for corals, right now just a cheap sub.

You need a bigger skimmer. I know where you can get a great deal on a recirc modded ASM G-4X.

Looks good. Fishies look happy.

Now that's a familiar wrasse.

I have a dottyback in my tank and recently placed a cleaner shrimp in there, and to my suprise the cleaner is still alive.

However yesterday I thought Id be smart and place 3 peppermint shrimp. Well lets just say the dottyback had an expensive dinner. But the good news is the cleaner shrimp is still alive and active.

Somehow my shrimp is still alive as a half of one. I'm pretty sure it'll kick it soon...yeah, thanks to Exotic Abyss for the beautiful wrasse...

I wasn't even thinking about it when I threw the shrimp in there...talk about expensive!! I could've gone to Outback instead...

Mr. Crab, you're still trying to get rid of that dang skimmer?! Throw it on the selling forum, I had mine gone in less than a week.
