    That is such a neat fish! I wish mine hadn't been so shy :-(

    I've got a really shy YWG and no aggressive fish so I'm hoping it settles in to be a somewhat brave soul.

    Congrats on the fish, good luck and lots of pics if it will cooperate.

    After adding the MP10, I quickly realized it was not allowing the surface of the water to flow into the overflow and the location of my toadstool really didn't allow me a lot of room to move it. Soooo I rearranged the rock work this morning so I could move the Vortech forward. I needed to add extra hidey holes for the Tanaka's pygmy wrasse that is due to arrive on Tuesday. Two birds with one stone. I think it makes the tank feel larger and I have more open swimming room so it was win win.

    Picked up a rather small RBTA this afternoon also. I was going to get a cherry picked specimen from Aqua SD but I spent some of that on the wrasse so I picked up a small one from Aqua Hut.

    The tank is still settling and the lights were due off at 9:30 so I'll get some better pictures later. For now, this will have to do.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Looks great. I like the new scape better. It really is a hard tank to scape. Add to that you have little options for flow but when you do get it right it makes a swirling pattern.


    Congrats on the new purchases, I think you will really enjoy the BTA.

    I'll make a video tomorrow so it can be seen from all 3 sides. I'm pretty fond of the new layout too. It just works better for just about everything. Also, it gave me the chance to put together the start of a zoa garden :) Thanks for the compliments. How is your tank doing?

    Same old same old. Everything is in the aquapod (it's a 24 gallon nano) ghetto rigged.
    Combo of lack of motivation and too busy. Got everything up and running again only to spring a leak, very frustrating.

    All corals and fish doing fine though. For now I live vicariously through other members tanks.

    Thank you for asking though. :)

    Without an end, there can never be a glorious come back :) You'll be back in the "game" before you know it!

    Everything in the tank is opened and seemingly happy except my toadstool :( I know they go through phases but the tank really isn't the same when it's not extending polyps. I hope it gets out of its funk soon. RBTA ate a little bit of silverside I fed it with ease. I don't plan on making feedings a major scheduled thing but was curious :)

    Added some better pictures and a short video. Now I await the new pygmy wrasse.
