    Tank looks awesome, have you had any problems with the flame angle nipping? I really like those fish, but I've always been afraid to put one in my reef tank.

    Funny you say that - I had the same reservations. When I put him in I almost regretted it immediately (he came from a tank full of coral) when he went around nipping at almost everything :eek:
    But after he got the lay of the land has not nipped at anything other then the LR 8)

    I really want one bc they add a lot of color, but not at the cost of my corals. Tough and risky decision...

    Not to sway you in anyway - they are great fish and add amazing colour. But in reality no fish is 100% reef safe IMO - I have a buddy that had a hippo tang eat his zoa's:eek: and almost took out trumpet corals

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    That is a great looking tank. I really like all the colors and the scape. What corals is in the lower left hand side? Great coloration to the leather on the right.

    Thanks Corailline it has come a long way - also with your great help ;)
    I have to say this is doing well b/c of 3reef.

    Yea when I got the leather it was just drab - it has grown and the colour has really become vivid

    New Additions

    Well went crazy yesterday and added a few new corals yesterday
    Finally picked up a bubble coral I had been wanting for some time - also got a great deal on a small frag of fox coral.
    Got this little feather duster for $5.

    I think I have also become zoa addicted :eek: I will add those photo's shortly
