Not much new to report on the tank. I made changes to my mesh tops to allow room for the cables leading to the Tunze. Since the mesh tops are in place, I went ahead and moved the Midas Blenny over also. Fish are all health, tank is staying clean, and the few SPS frags I have are looking healthy. Tomorrow I will be doing my first water change and replacing the carbon. Something seems to be picking off my hermits slowly. Not sure if it is one of the larger hermits, emerald crabs, or even one of my fish.
I'm wanting to start adding more SPS as test pieces but I'm trying to hold off until I get the last few hardware components first. I want to get the 30G cube hooked up (waiting for my stand and return pump), hook up my the Kalk reactor, and replace the MH bulbs in the fixture over the 120. Then, I want to start slowly adding more coral. I also need to get the Tunze 7096 some were in that mix.
While I'm waiting, I fine tuned my potential fish stocking list a bit more.
30G
Purple Firefish
Yellow Watchman Goby w/Pistol Shrimp
Tail Spot Blenny
Ocellaris Clown Pair
120G
Bangai Cardinal (already have)
Bluegreen Chromis (already have)
Midas Blenny (already have)
Flame Angel (already have)
Blue Stripe Neon Goby
Mandarin
Undecided Clown Pair
Undecided Small Tang
Undecided Fairy Wrasse
I think I prefer the Percula Clowns to the Ocellaris but it seems most people think the Ocellaris are more peaceful. Because of the other tankmates of the 30G cube, I want the most peaceful variety I can get.
I picked up a Flame Angel for the 120G which I didn't originally plan but was a fish I always wanted. So with the addition of that guy, I think a group of Anthias will just be too much load so I will replace them with a Fairy Wrasse if I can find one that is colorful and not overly aggressive.
