    I was told that it's out of season for H. Magnifica. I wanted to use it to cover the pot that my breeding clowns live in. I don't think it's going to happen now.

    Well yesterday I placed the coliseum into ruins and decided to aquascape the Reef Saavy tank. All I need to do now is add sand and stocking it. Here are pics of the scape. Any ideas or improvements they're always welcome.

    Update Update Update

    The Good: The kessils have been over the tank for about a little over a month. I apologize for not having any progression shots of each coral but I will begin that this month. Only downfall is I know they're acros but not which kind. Here is the tank now in its present state.

    As you can see from the FTS that I finally got the granite installed for the bar. Now the tank feels complete.

    The Bad: As you know with maricultured corals you have to take the good with the bad. Yes I lost some colonies but also was able to save a frag or two from them. Why they rtn or was totally bleached in one day I can't tell you to save my life. As you can see in the pics some have turned brown and the ones that were brown are slowly coloring back up. I know next time to remove the rock they come on, dip really heavy just to be safe and replace them on glass tiles. I don't need any extra friends in the tank.

    The Ugly: I lost my achilles to ich. He came from a system that had copper and was in there for about 3 to 4 weeks. It also took out 4 of my lyretail anthias and maybe my blue hippo and Dejardini both of which I had for over 4 years. I still see them but they're not out swimming in the open like they used to.

    So that's about it. Any advice or if you have any questions I'm all ears. Thank you everyone.

    Awesome and sad update wayne. I honestly think your remaining tangs will survive and will have a stronger immune system from it. My hippo has a spot or two every week for the last 3 years and my purple doesn't get phased by it and they grew up together. With your massive tank and husbandry I truly think they'll be just fine. Feed extra QUALITY seaweed, I truly believe it does wonders. I've never seen that coral you have that's similar to a merulina in a tank before. It's in the first pic. I like the unusual stuff you don't see often. As far as the reef savvy tank goes, I think it looks terrible and should be broken down and shipped to me asap! Lol........my dream tank. Looking stunning my friend. Hope to meet you at this go round at reefapalooza.
