Well after nearly electricuting myself and brecking a bulb in the tank I built a catwalk and skimmer stand. turns out the skimmer needs to be lowered about 8"

Nice

 

[Pickupman66]

Bart, hows that singapore angel doing for ya? I had one once. Awesome little shy fish. I had an algae problem at that time and that little bugger cleaned it up immedietely. too bad he went to eating sps and had to GO!

 

[orthokardia]

he caught the ich from a non-QT'd butterfly and is no longer with us bad on me. lesson learned!

 

[Pickupman66]

OUch. that stinks.. YOu put a butterfly in your reef?! what kind? the one I had was invisible for like 2 months. never saw him. never came out. hid all the time. Then one day we noticed the tank had never looked better and had Zero green on the rocks. then he started to come out a bit. did great for a long time, then decided to nibble on polyps, and that was the end of that fish. Very pretty. I may try to go with some in the new tank. but IDK. they scare me. part of me thinks that with the size of the reef, one fish cant do that much damage...but you never know.
