    Last week my tank was leaking so I I go an new tank and here are a few pics. I am only allowed to post 5 pics it said. The Yellow Fiji Leather is not happy yet. I moved him a bunch of times. He was not getting happy on the rock work so now I am trying on some rubble on the bottom.

    Some more pics of the tank. Only my Solarensis Fairy Wrasse did not make it. His mouth was moving a little but he was floating. I think now I should have left him in longer to see if he would have bounced back.

    Old tank was 46 bow Oceanic. New tank is 46 bow is Marineland. The marineland has much nicer silicone job than the Oceanic. I feel safer with it. I bouhgt 3 big Brute trash cans at Home Depot and used all the water LR and corals and fish in then with a powerhead and heater in each one till the next day. I threw out what little sand I had maybe 3-4 Lbs. I have no sand now and I like it. No spikes at all in water quality. I have 60 Lbs of LR

    Hmm, not into the sandless bottom. I like my tank to look like the ocean. Or atleast in my little mind it does.
