    Nice with the pods man! The life that thrives in our tanks never ceases to amaze. Sorry to hear about the cardinal. :/

    Thanks, me too man. What amazes me even more is how quickly things come about. out of the 22 rocks i have in this tank, 1 was bought live, and i had it in my 20. some how pods have stayed alive during then, and into this tank. Given the room, and only 2 fish. They're definitely multiplying.

    Its alright man, feel bad that i couldnt do more. But ive learned. Wont sacrafice any more. I want some wrasses soon ;D

    Cant argue with that! The only thing is many wrasses like the six line sleep in a mucus coating buried underneath the sand. Lots of wrasses are like that to my knowledge. But Im no wrasse expert. Thats why we have evolved. Haha. A Mckoskers flasher wrasse would be cool in your tank.

    My Pseudocheilinus evanidus wrasse did that. It was weird when i first saw it i was like ugh, is he dead and decomposing some mucus? lol then i saw em swimming next morning.

    I really want a Mckoskers, that and a solon wrasse, and a tomini, or kohl tang, should round out the rest of the stocking in this tank Maybe an anthias, but highly unlikely. My girlfriend saw a beautiful one at a lfs and hasn't stopped talking about it.

    Oh a tomini tang would be great for this tank. Same with a McKosker's flasher wrasse. Anthias are gorgeous but they are alot of work with constant feedings. In a smaller tank those feedings can foul the water pretty easily too unfortunately. :(

    Went with the old 2 island look. When the rock colors up, its gonna look nice. TONS of places i can put coral. Im gonna get more rock, small pieces, to fill in some empty spots.

    Looks great, Bro. I started with 2 islands, then ended up adding a double-decker bridge between them with the rocks I had left over. lol
