    So my briareum is FINALLY opening up! I have about 10 heads all out and waving around. Tank definitely needs more flow soon.....And better lighting!! Maybe after the move I'll be able to play more!

    and I will post some pictures without being asked to do so

    Side note:


    Can I get 24" lights for a 30" long tank? I'm having a difficult time with finding lighting and the best I'm finding are in 24" or 36".

    I don't want to light the floor and waste lighting but I don't know if 24 is just too short.

    Soooo, the move is over :\

    I was not too happy with the way the move of the tank went. Felt very rushed and unorganised. I hope everything pulls through but I've been told by several people to expect some sort of die-off. Hopefully not any of my livestock......


    Blah.

    Ok, we're now about a week over the move.

    We had a couple of casualties but all in all everything looks good.

    The casualties we had were our two shrimp buddies, the peppermint and the scarlet skunk cleaner :(

    Everything else made it unscathed and I was expecting losses. Was definitely hoping more for snails or hermits than my shrimp though :(

    Newest addition to my reef family. Please welcome Gabby!

    Gabby is a 1 inch blue tang. She came in at my LFS and I brought her home. After mandatory quarantine she is in the tank :D
    She's getting on well with the other inhabitants and is eating very well. She eats EVERYTHING which is awesome but fresh greenery is always available. I bumped up the flow in the tank with a koralia 3 addition.
    This pic is of her next to the nano powerhead.... She is TINYYYYYYY. Here are a couple of extras as well :)


    Sorry for the quality....Blackberry.
