    I was getting tired of all my wires and controllers for the pump and lights being in the stand so went out and bought a cabinet to put all the wires and everything in. I also added an DIY ato.

    Snapped a few pics the other night....thought i would share.

    I am thinking about possibly adding another fish to my tank, but im somewhat undecided right now. Current stock is 2 clowns, 1 royal gramma, corals, and inverts. My filtration should be beefy enough to keep up with another addition.

    Anyone have any suggestions?

    I like it. :)

    How about adding a wrasse? they are pretty (no pun intended) active fish.

    I thought about it, Im gonna take a look at some stores and see what i can find. I thought about a flame angel and would probably do that if i can get one at a good price. But i worry because i know they can nip at corals.

    wrasses are jumpers, and should be in a tank that has a screen on it 24/7 .... i learned the hard way, or should i say my fish did, i left the room for 10 minutes tops to answer a call, after tanking the screen off. came back into the room to find my favorite fish (he would swim figure 8's when he seen me, and spit water at me when i flinged water at him off my fingers) in just 10 minutes tops i returned to him dying on the floor, with the cat standing over him . he was barely alive, and died when i put him back into the water. :(
    i thought i was so careful with when i took the screen off. well i learned with a wrasse no amount of time without a screen is ok
