    Thanks Cheryl,all the fish look tiny in there,lol.As you can see,the cabbage is half sloughing and half wide open,it always sloughs that way for some reason.And yeah,thats 95% xenia you see with a little anthelia behind it (the patch I couldn't remove as it's on that same rock) but i'll just keep it trimmed down as it spouts up.

    And thank you Sticksmith,I think I finally have the rock placement where I want it now.And the new MASSIVE cuc is doing a bang up job of getting it looking good again,the work they have done on the back wall,powerheads,etc. is amazing.

    Thanks for the kind words guys and gal,and you can blame John Maloney and reefs2go for the cuc explosion,John hooked me up with the snail bomb and r2g hooked me up with the rest including 50 free blue legs with my order.Granted the blue legs are mostly all very small babies,those little buggers are EVERYWHERE!!!:lol: :crazy:,but i can say my tank is the absolute cleanest it ever been,lol.

    Day 3 with the leopard wrasse

    He's doing great so far,stress level seems very low and doing fine amongst the tank mates,health still looking great and eating anything I feed the tank,along with constant pod and micro duster pecking ;D,I've also been using a little selcon and garlic here and there for good measure.He has free swam without hiding from the time he went in the tank,but he does like sleeping in a hour or two after the daylight come on (he must be partying after lights out,lol).Sorry the pics arn't better,but getting too close with the camera spooks him a bit,so i had to sit back and just zoom in.
