Red sea max 250 build

It's been awhile since I've updated... So here it is. I ordered a 50 lb box of dry rock from Reefcleaners.org last week, added some chaeto to the main display (until I can get a proper fuge light to stick in back). I picked up a pair of false Percula clowns on Wednesday, as well as a brittle and serpent star. And today, I made another run to the LFS and picked up a few more fish. Some sort of hogfish that's yellow and purple, and an extremely healthy looking Kole Tang. The hogfish has gone missing. I'm not sure if hes hiding or what. It's pretty hard to find a fish that is half an inch long..

 

Congrats on all of the changes. I think the hogfish is hiding while it acclimates to your tank's activity.

 

Here are a few pictures.

 

Thanks for the input 2in10. from my description, do you have a guess to what kind of hogfish it is? I originally thought Spanish, but those are blue, not purple. :-/

 

Very nice, rock work looks good.

 

Thanks a lot. it took all but 5 minutes to do... The RSM dimmensions are perfect compared to my old 55, which had given me a foot of depth to aqua scape. :-/

 

The scape does look great.
I can never get my scape to look that good, I fiddle too much.

 

Thanks for the compliments. I'm out of town for the next week... Maybe I should have waited on the tang. I gave the neighbor detailed directions on how to dose algae. I hope all will be ok.

 

Rock work does look good! It only took 5 minutes? Wow! Last time i redid my rockwork it took two hours! Where did you wind up putting the tank?

 

I went with the bedroom. the skimmer is actually soundless as long as the air valve isn't open too much. The tank does put off quite a bit of heat. I have to keep the fans on 24/7. And yeah. I was shocked by how nice it turned out. In my biocube, I just have some rock jumbled into a mountain with polyps and trees growing everywhere. The arches and caves turned out brilliantly this time.
