nice pics mike. it looks like everything is settling in nicely after the big move.

is that coral beauty new, or did you have that before? has it been a troublemaker at all, nipping on things?

 

[bigevill1]

I have had it for about two years. It has never niped that I have seen.

How much rock do you have in there. I really ;ike how you have it arranged. How did you do that?

 

[bigevill1]

You know I am really not sure how much rock is in there. I bought it all alittle bit at a time. Got to be close to 250#. I just stacked it in there, nothing special. The cave was made with one huge piece spanning two mountains on each side.

I believe that I helped with the rock placement:lol:

Very nice pic's BigE, everything seems to have settled down quite nicely. Corals look good and so do the fish. With the execption being the Blue Tang....

 

[bigevill1]

how exactly did you help with the rock placement? I seem to remember you just handing me pieces while we put them in super cloudy water where we couldnt see where they were going. Then you went home while I went and delivered the old tank to Chicago :lol:

I remember doing all the work while you sat on the couch and played with the kids! LOL

 

[bigevill1]

youre funny

 

[beester15]

you know I am just teasing. The rock work came out very well considering we couldn't see anything with the cloudyness of the water...

 

[bigevill1]

only one coral was lost in all of that. I couldnt believe it. Luckily it was a coral that I had more than one colony of. About 50# of the rock that is in there now was added after the setup too. Including the huge piece used as the bridge. That was just a piece of base rock. The first pic in the second post was actually taken from behind the tank looking out thru the tunnel.

is that diamaond goby pair new? i don't remeber seeing them.

yeah, I added them two weeks ago. They do a great job shifting the sand and never leave the sand bed so they dont dump on the corals.
