Pics of my holding tank

40 gallon long I drilled out to use while my new tank is being built.

Josh, what is that spotted fish? Some sort of wrasse?
Looks good!

Its a Leopard or Potters Wrasse. One of my favorite fish, but they are just very hard to keep and I wouldnt recommend them unless you have experience with finicky fish or an established tank. I ordered 4 of them, 1 died in shipping and the other 2 died that night from stress just to give you an idea of how fragile they are. Luckly this guy pulled through and I got him to accept frozen foods eventually, and he picks at the algae sheets.

looks great Josh...I love that leopard but don't have the experience to try one..........I have heard they are very difficult and have dismal survival rates. Yours looks fat and happy

Thanks Lorna. Hopefully he stays that way.

Lookin' good Josh...perfect frag tank for when you get frags from the new tank.

Thanks Rob, I need to somehow talk my wife into letting me keep this one. I'd rather sweet talk her instead of just telling her how its going to be. LOL

I need to get me a frag tank. My display is just too small for everything. I am either going to get the setup from rob and put it in the garage or just put a little biocube in the corner.

Thanks, I called them yesterday and they are waiting for the overflow to come in. They said it should be ready to ship out at the end of the week. Hopefully it does.

I was at the in-laws house till 1 a.m. this morning working on the stand. It's coming along. Hopefully all of the finishing touches to the stand go smoothly. I had my father-in-law do most of the work b/c I'm too much of a perfectionist with my own hands. Even though he's been a carpenter/general contractor for years, I was still able to pick out every little flaw. It's turning out pretty slick but I'm not to thrilled about it. So I'll be going up there to finsh the detail work which could take awhile because 1) time 2) I'll keep working on it till I think its perfect. lol.
