Alec's 40gal breeder chronicles!

That's a great looking Cyphastrea. Looks like you gave it a sweet spot.

 

Thank you!! Ya I used to have a green/orange acro under it on the same rock.. After awhile it shadowed the whole thing out. If only my sps would grow the direction I want them to dang lol.

 

Wow, that is one impressive red planet. I really do love your tank.

 

Thanks Daniel!

 

Thanks! One of these days in the not too distant future that rock is gunna be completely covered. I'll probably bust it up and sell it when the time comes or something haha.

 

Mini Update-

I have a new fish coming in the mail tuesday! I ordered a whip fin fairy wrasse from a vendor in Texas called South Seas Aquatics. If you're located in Texas, it's definitely worth checking out the website. They have $10 shipping anywhere in Texas, so after a few weeks of waffling back and forth I decided to place the order. I'm really excited about it, I hope it goes well. It's nice finding a big retailer in Texas like that.

Other than that nothing too exciting going on! I'm still working out moving some of my SPS around. I'm also thinking about selling my lobo and green toadstool, I wanna try to sell those for a pretty penny and get something a little more extravagant with that money lol. I really like scoly's. Or maybe a nice chalice. Decisions decisons.

Anyways I'll be sure to post a pic of the whip fin once he arrives!

 

Welll long story short I didn't end up getting the whip fin lol, probably for the best from what I've read. I went to an LFS I had a gift certificate for today and ended up leaving with a mystery wrasse. I've actually had one before you can see earlier in my thread, but unfortunately he jumped. At the time I had a crappy homemade top and he jumped straight through it. I haven't had any casualties since I made my upgraded top thing, but I'm in the process of making a new one with double the netting. The new guys small and slender so I wanna get everything covered up this time!!

Hes a nice fish though. He's really active and surprisingly friendly compared to my last mystery. He'll come straight up to the glass and check me out. Anyways, heres a few shots of him under the actinics with a few others. I'll get some better ones tmrw in the daylight.

 

The Mystery Wrasse is one of the few fish I would really like to have if I had a bigger tank. I think they are so cool looking.

The tank and the corals look fantastic.

 

I know I've always had a thing for them too. The color on their face is awesome, the purple streaks on their face kinda glow.

 

Mean as heck. I think im going to stay away. They are AWESOME though.
