    Sorry it has been so long to get a decent update. But here it is. Spent the day cleaning away salt creep and cleaning the lights. I also got some new additions for my birthday. My wife got me a pair of butterfly fish a new skunk cleaner (lost the other in the tank move) and a firefish Goby. I was really wanting the butterfly fish after my recent vacation. I got to see them in the wild and really wanted a pair for the tank. Thanks to my wife who got them for me. Also a FTS for those who have asked. Thanks for looking.
    Enjoy the pics

    Well lost one of the butterfly fish and the firefish. Found them floating this morning.
    The other butterfly and the skunk cleaner shrimp are fine as are all the other fish in the tank. going to go to the LFS this weekend to see what they are going to do. Probably nothing but gonna try anyway.

    Agreed, your tank looks good. Are those power-sweep powerheads I see on the sides of the tank? How are those working out for you? I had two for a while and loved the idea of the "sweep", but mine kept getting clogged with salt, sand, you name it.

    Thanks, tank has only been up since March so I am pleased with the outcome so far.Yes they are power-sweeps. I clean them every 4-6 weeks on the inside and have had very few problems.
    i called the LFS about the dead fish and although there policy is 24 hours they are going to give me a store credit. Probably a good idea on there part as I have spent quite a bit of $$ in the past 3 months.

    Thanks. Tank has come a long way in 3 months and has much more to go. Think I might lay off fish for a while and start building the coral population.

    Not much new. Just maintaining for now. Work has kept me humping the past 2-3 months. Been watching 2 territories while a fellow associate is out on medical leave. Had a PH concern for a while but got that under control. cWill try to get some pics up this weekend.

    Thanks forlooking
