    Well I have bought some new additions for our tank over the weekend. Yellow Tang & another Cleaning Shrimp (to replace the one we lost a while ago.) I know everyone else has one, but I always wanted a Yellow Tang and my old 29gal was too small. :cheesy: I'll post pics tonight. I need some more color though any ideas????

    Look like I might have to bite that idea. Cool and original.

    Well, over the weekend I make some changes to my sump/refuge. I added 15lbs live sand and then had to install some temp filters to catch the sand storm it made. I also installed the light fixture to light up my refuge.

    I also transplanted my feather dusters that I has originaly had grown in my 29gal & placed them in my new setup until I was ready to fire up my refuge. First pic is before without the sand just the live rock I had in there. The others as whem I placed them into the live sand.

    The tanks were still cloudy from the sand as you can see from the 4th pic.

    Well, received my chaeto algae on Wednesday. It was very well wrapped. One problem it wasn't sent to the address that I provided which was my office and would of gotten it at 10:00am. Instead was sent to the house & sat in a black mailbox in 90 degree weather until I got a call that there was a package at 7:00pm! Needless to say, the water that was in it stunk, and all except 2 worms was dead. You can see the dark brown mess in the zip bag. I rinsed it in saltwater 4 times to take the smell out, before I would put it into my tank.

    So, far so good on the chaeto algae. Some of it you can see either cook or turned a little brown on the tips. It's be a few days and it's still green, so it should recover. Just amazed that the 3reef member that I bought it from didn't even apologize for the error, after I sent them a PM about the problem. It's not like I asked for a refund. Simply amazing...
