Paracanthurus hepatus juvi (blue tang)

Anthias
Pseudanthias leucozonus (japanese white bar anthias) x 2
Pseudanthias squamipinnis (lyretail anthias) x 5 - not sure if ill put them in but already have them

Clowns
I have a blue and purple s.gigantea so have
Amphiprion perideraion (pink skunk) pair - spawining

I do like wrasse and have had some nice ones before but they always jump on me, and it hurts seeing $400 of fish dried up on the floor.

Any updates?

I am currently on holidays in queenstown nz one of the most beautiful places on earth but progress is tank and cabinet were delivered/installed last week but I was scared to fill it then leave on holidays in case something went wrong. Will fill when I'm back next weekend.

This is going to be an amazing build Tagging along...

 

[ryanrid]

just got advised today that I have to move, so i will now delay filling this till then. I have some new fish in QT ready for the move.

 

[ryanrid]

not SPS but something to add colour to this thread

and the only Pseudanthias leucozonus in my country :dance:

 

[ryanrid]

Im moving next weekend and will fill her up then.

I moved on 1st June which went as well as could be expected, tanks scape is still not set up just the rock and corals in may fix that this weekend, till then here are some
some random acro pics, colours are a bit dull due to the moves, moving twice in 5 weeks plays havoc on colors, especially my rainbow monti got hit and is completely brown.

black and white baby maxima

Looks good although I am not a big fan of the so called "fruit bowl" look. The colors on pictures posted 06/12/2012 look amazing, especially green and pink.

thanks for looking, colours should improve now things are stabalizing and not being moved from tank to tank.

 

[ryanrid]
