    Great Job! Looking forward to seeing more pics. Looks like you might still meet that November deadline.

    I think so. I may have fish before the end of the week. BTW, I think your signature needs updating... isn't there a trigger in the mix now?

    I think that it's too rich for my blood. I truely had never even considered a trigger for this tank because like a lot of newbs, I figured that none of the triggers were reef safe. Jan's got me thinking now. Maybe a blue throat (or 2).

    I've been doing a lot of work on the tank and around the house but none of it is very photogenic. The other issue is I've been continuing to add sand and everytime that I do, it clouds the tank for a few days. It's not a problem at all since there isn't any livestock in the tank right now but it doesn't make for pretty pictures.

    Way to rich for my blood too, but he is a beauty! I will keep you updated on how mine works out. So far, there has been no nipping at any corals or shrimp and she is still on the skinny side. Our first choice was a blue throat, but the more we looked at the pink tail, the more we liked the adult emerald green color.

    That made me laugh, with the kind of money you've got in this tank I can't believe there's any fish too expensive for it. There's been a few nice pairs of crosshatch's for sale at one of the online retailers. Although blue throats are really nice cross hatch's are awesome.
