    Figured I would update with some more pics since it's been a almost 4 months. Recently we have added some new pieces of coral and a couple more fish from the Power loss we had in December(lost our Flame Angel and our Sun Coral).

    Here are a Few Tank Pics

    Unfortunately our 2 new fish didn't want to be Photographed Today, We got a Dart fish that is striped, usually he's out most of the time and a Small Christmas Wrasse, I was undecided on him did some research and some say they are great, but I have also read a couple posts about them eating small shrimp and picking on Polyps, hopefully he won't kill our cleaner shrimp, But I think they are getting too large for that, Hopefully...

    The last fish we are planning on adding is going to be a Dragnet, I love the way they look, But I want to add some more live rock to our fuge first to grow some more copods for em, We have about 120 lbs of live rock as it is, Do you think that's enough to support a large enough of a copod population for one?

    Thanks for reading

    Someplace nice and cold.
    Tin foil! Put tin foil where they like to sit. Cats hate the feeling of tin foil. Or, since tin foil is sort of tacky, use the sticky glad wrap. The press 'n' seal stuff. Make sure the sticky side is up, so that when they step on it, it'll stick to their paws!

    Grats on the AWESOME pictures also!

    Well i finally got around to taking some pics of our Christmas Wrasse and our Dart, They are both out all the time now that they are both comfortable. I also picked up an elegance coral recently and it is allmost opening fully now most of the time, and I also figured I would throw an updated pic of our birdsnest in there to show the growth in a pretty short time.

    Well I think I have finally solved the Cat in the tank/on the tank issue. Recently we purchased a set of Coralife Pro HQI lights and instead of sitting them on the tank I ended up hanging them above the tank about 8 inches or so. After the first day I had put them up our cat wisson tried to jump onto them and since they are suspended they just swung back, he lost his balance and fell off(not very cat like at all), I haven't seen him try again since. Wissons fine btw, the lights just have a small scratch in the top hardly even noticeable.
