looking awesome !!
how long have you had the wrasse (think it's a leopard) and what does it eat?

Looks great... the towers (pillars) make it much more interesting.

Thanks! I feel like it's starting to come together now.

Yes, it's a leopard wrasse. I've had that fish for over 5 years. Bought it as a barely 2 inch juvenile and kept it in a 10 gallon for the first year. It's close to 6 inches now and eats anything I offer, including Nori. I think it gets jealous of the Tangs.

I agree. It's a shame pillars and arches can be some of the hardest aquascaping elements to build "in tank" because they really do look nice, especially in deeper tanks. It's amazing how much it has changed the behavior of the fish as well.

I think the new aquascape looks much better than what you had before. The pillars really do add an interesting element to the tank and even make it look somewhat taller IMO. Great looking tank.

The tank looks great... what light are you using are they the lights from your 90g?

Thanks! I desperately need to post some updated pics soon. Life has been busy the past year but I'm still very much involved with the hobby. I really need to get back on board with RC.

Anyway, yes that's the same old dual 250mh / t5 maristar fixture from the old 90. It actually works quite well over this tank, but I did add a couple magenta stunner strips to pop out some color. An upgrade to a controllable LED system will be the next step, but the halides are still working for now.
