    Ugg, so it's been a crazy day now...
    After getting caught by the wife for buying a new fish...


    When we got home, we had to move the tank.... While I was not pleased about it.. it had to be done cause of some unforseen issues (can't go into detail just yet) ..

    So during the move the entire rock structure came crashing down. Tank is fine, but rocks had to be all placed back and now it's 100% different.. Water is a lil cloudy so I put the carbon back in and I put an additional skimmer in to help with the work for a day or two..

    Aneneoenenemeeesss are both fine, Colt Coral fine, and the xenia is ok.. GSP's, well... they are always fine.. Just a lil worried about my baby tang and my clowns at this point... I'm on "death watch" for the next 24 hours - ....

    That does kinda suck for the new fish.

    I wouldn't worry about anything other than the baby blue tang. What's it doing right now? I also wouldn't lose sleep over it.

    Well, it' scared the heck outta me a lil while ago... it was laying on it's side on the bottom of the tank next to the heater.. i taped the glass it and came to rather quick and it just swimming around the sides of the glass.. it did take a chunk of the broccoli a minute ago tho.

    Those hippo tangs and the similar ones find some wierd positions to hide and hangout. My buddy's spends most of it's time upside down when you are close to the tank looking around. And eating is good. Just keep an eye out for longer term problems from a rough acclimation.

    Yeah......I think everything is going to be alright as well. My concern rests with the tang too. The clowns are tough and the anenomes will just think they are going through a storm. No biggie. I would only worry about the anenomes if there was some damage done to it during the great barrier reef collapse. Otherwise......just wait it out and get some sleep.

    Might want to get some epoxy and get all that rock mounted so it doesn't fall later on when you have corals all over them. Hope the little one makes it.
