Its tough being a landlord

I recently had to evict my flameback angel because of his new found fondness for sps corals and fresh crocea clam. He has always been a model resident with a good attitude and pleasing colors. But for the sake of saving the other residents I had to do it. He was with us for 8 months and was becomming one of the family. I had to remodel the entire aquascaping. After 5 hours of removing all the corals and rocks carefully, and then putting them back in carefully I was finally able to take him to the lfs for credit. I also took in some frags that I tried selling to members of the local reef club and on craigslist with no luck. Got good credit for those too. My daughter picked out the two fish pictured, and after some reasearch we went ahead and picked them up. So now we have two new residents in the tank. I got all the rock put back in the tank and for the first time I liked the way it came out without the hours of moving it or the livestock around. What do you all thnk?

 

Looks great!!!! Sorry about the angel.

 

excellent additions ib. replaced the flames colors with 2 other nicely colored fish. too bad about the flame tho. and your tank looks very good.

Thanks, I really like the flameback angel as well. But I knew when I got it they were kind of iffy nipping at corals, some do some dont. For a long time it didnt and I thought I was lucky but then I started noticing my sps were not looking as nice as they used to. The best clue and I should have listened to my daughter on this is when she came up and said she wanted to name the angel fish "nippy".

 

Nippy thats funny.
