Really pleased to see things looking colorful and healthy again Brandon :thumbsup:

You have a lot of cool fish Dave would stop me buying, i was looking at a beautiful Potter's angel last visit and even though i know i can't have one i wanted to tell Dave how pretty his specimen was so i called, ' hey Dave...'

' Nope, not a chance. '

This is why i don't normally pretend to be nice when i'm at the shop Brandon, total waste of time

Thanks. I'm adding a few more tonight from a friend breaking down his system. A Regal Angel, and a pair of earmuff wrasse.

That Dave guy sounds like a good guy to have in your corner. I couldn't belive he snapped a picture of you. That was me asking about you. Lol

How's your angel doing? Pe looks like it might have been effected.

Looks great Brandon! I love the rockwork it will make things look amazing with added growth!

Is the urchin still earning its keep? You have me thinking of adding one to my tank

Thank you. I think it's coming around. I have about a dozen or so more corals to add.

I love the urchin. They will be in every system of mine from here on out. They are Great algae eaters and it doesn't mess with my corals as I glue them with super glue and water weld.

I'd never put one in a frag tank.

Loving it man! The scape gets cooler with every update

Thanks. I can't wait for it to be grown in but it's a double edged sword...

Since pictures of my new fish. The warasses buried so no pictures of them yet.

Hey Brandon, nice leopards and regal.
What’s the other wrasse?

 

[Pife]

That's a Pintail fairy wrasse.

Regals are stunning angels. And the mis-bar is pretty cool. I tried a regal, majestic and emperor Angel a couple years ago. Stunning fish but they reduced daytime polyp extension dramatically. I don’t think they harmed anything though, just reduced polyp extension. I think regals are one of the most spectacular saltwater fish. Looking forward to pictures of your earmuff wrasses—beauties as well

 

[Pife]

Thanks. Did you add the angels all at once? Did you find one picked more than the others?

Here's a couple pictures of the earmuffs. I need to download some of the better pictures off my camera.

Is not very often I see all nineteen fish. I think I got them all in the picture too. The red mandarin is hardest to see in the rock work.

There were twenty until Thanksgiving day. My favorite fish passed. He was a red headed wrasse. The night before he died he was only half buried and I thought that war very odd. RIP LIL BUDDY

Just a reminder to check your apex settings. For some reason when I updated my apex my auto feeder got switched to a heater and has been feeding tons of food for a couple of months. I've been fighting higher than normal nutrients and only found this by accident. Changed it to six feedings a day and my nitrates bottomed out in 2 days. I'm turning down carbon dosing daily until I get a good balance.

I don't know much about urchins but it looks like you have a pincushion. How do you like it? Thinking about getting one.

The one I have is a tuxedo urchin. He is the most amazing clean up crew. I would never put one in a tank if you don't securely mount frags. They will surely carry them off.

A new page needs pictures.

The first picture is my favorite coral right now. The second is my new homewrecker. Hopefully I can color it up. I'm going to try and do weekly updates on it. The next picture is one of my many no names. It had wonderful white polyps. There are then a couple of pictures of the tip burn I'm getting on my fox flame. My Aqua sd rainbow mille is finally coming back around.

I'll try to stay with it.



View from my new couch tonight.

 

[reefmutt]

I wish I had a couch where my tank is..
All i got is a rowing machine, a hockey net, sticks and workout stuff.
Keep me fit though..
Brandon, how’s the cleanup crew doing in the algae?
Nice collection of fish you’re amassing!

Looking good Brandon! I have to find time and see it in person some day.

 

[Wrangy]
