PierceEyes 50 Reef @ 6 months

I totally agree with you on the rock....in the 50 with 95lbs it look ed nice...I want to add more but right now trying to find Fiji rock in Tampa FL is next to impossible and I do not buy rock online..been burnt

So I like the idea of building the reef with pieces of rock with coral or inverts on it....thats the plan now...but heck this is like my 15th SW tank in over 30yrs plus 10 FW and 2 Red Slider tanks and a 5000 gal pond about 10yrs ago

 

Looking good Pierceeye
Its always a great relief no matter how many times youve done this sort of thing
when your livestock starts opening up again quickly

corals seem to have got over the move nicely

The Morning After

The black is Caribe Sea Black argonite not volcanic rock

 

New additions

So I as I said earlier the Sailfin Tang was beating up the Gold Stripe Clown; so as of noon today no Sailfin Tang......

In his/her place are 2 Fireflies and 1 Ladder Glider Goby

Goby was out chewing up substrate about 45 minutes after he was acclimated but then I take the camera out and poof he is under a rock almost a cave; I did not realize how large it was as he can turn around under it hope there is not a dead spot under that rock...it is real branchy per say.

Oh well here is the Firefish and the Xenia I added 2 weeks ago

The Fireflies are cool...they stay in open water most of the time, the Green Chromis like "trying" to chase them...it's kind of funny....like there sitting there going "Na Na Boo Boo I dare You To Catch Me" LOL

 

Ladder Glider Goby

Man he is tough to take a picture of...he is so opaque against the black san the cmaera will not focus on him

this is the best until X-Mas when the wife buys me a new camera
