    Fugue is a no-go, just can't keep a ten gallon. They drill fine but crack after water is in. I am thinking of doing an acrylic one later but not enough funds ATM.

    A few pics finally! I have noticed with the new panaroma pro, blue/magenta the amount of pink coralline is exploding. The first pic is the new lobo I got yesterday $39 not a bad deal I guess, it's about 5". The next is a the RBTA, sixline and some plain green mouth palys (they kind of look like red people eaters). The last two is the pink coralline on an empty snail shell.
    Photos taken under the panaroma pros and (1) 14k and (1) actinic t5

    The lobo looks awesome! :) It's cool that you are having a coralline algae explosion lol. Very exciting.

    So my CBS has eaten a shroom in front of me (which I suspected) and attacked my sixline wrasse. The poor sixline's tail is nearly all gone and his "six lines" on the one side are all splotchy, and pale. He will not come out for a pic right now but I will try later. The sixline has been eating well but he tends to dart in and out of rocks. The CBS is coming out and going to the LFS ASAP. I was wanting some fire shrimp and skunks anyways, but I wish he would have just told me he was going to be an ******* and I would not have put him in the new tank.

    Man I'm sorry to hear about this. This just helps me make my decision to get rid of mine though as well. Good luck catching him.
