    :( I can tell you the 55 looked a lot more full! I am moving a couple of my corals over from 28 that should help. Good size Green Slimer, Duncans (about 20 heads) and Candy Canes (about 25 heads).

    After 4 full weeks in the QT, the Foxface was ready to be moved to the 125. Definitely not an easy fish to catch; he is one strong fish! But here he is today, grazing away (he has a lot of work to do!):

    I am in the process of replacing the pads on my magfloat, so excuse the film algae.

    And here are a couple shots as I see them on my recliner :)

    I also brought home a ~2.5" fat Yellow Eye Kole Tang yesterday now in the 46BF QT:

    Finally, I picked up a couple corals over the weekend to make Todd happy since my tank is so bare ;) I'll post a couple pics once I clean the glass off.

    Looks great Marshall!! Love your recliner view ;) Also, absolutely love the kole tang! I have always really liked them! A couple weeks ago my LFS had little baby ones available. I'm maxed on fish or I would have tried one again. I've probably had 3 in my aquarium history and all have not made it. I have no idea why. This is the one fish I've not been able to keep successfully :(Maybe I can add one more fish once my new tank is up and running.

    Congrats on the new additions!

    Thanks OFK! I was chatting with the LFS owner for a while before I brought him home. He told me the troubles he was having with them recently. He QTs all fish for at least 2 weeks. They would all make it through QT, but then when transferring to a DT, they would all die shortly after :confused:

    The one I bought had been there for 5-6 weeks. Very fat, constantly grazing, not a spot of Ich or disease. He is now in my QT for at least 4 weeks. Fingers crossed he remains healthy!

    Ok, now for some corals (ignore the hair & macro algae!). Here are the ones we just picked up this weekend:

    Neon Green Toadstool w/ hitchhicker paly:

    And finally a Blue Mushroom to add to the collection:

    And here are a couple I moved over from the 28 (LPS all started as a single polyp):

    Red Acans:

    Duncans:

    Candy Canes:

    And lastly Montipora Undata:

    I think I am up to 37 different frags/corals. Definitely going to let them grow out from here :)
