    Ahhh, you made my night. I was wondering who would be the first to get that. K+

    I've got the rock looking good now. Just not how I had it before. The first thing I learned while reefing is you never get the rock back to the way you had it before. EVER. Unless it was puttied together of course.

    Traded the flame for a cleaner wrasse that has been pigging out on mysis for the past week. Well shall see how it goes. I don't seem to like to keep easy fish apparently.

    Yep, that is how I looked at it.

    I'll post pics in a little bit. My camera battery seems to always be dead considering I never take photos.

    Dude, we could have tried a DIY fish trap! I saw a video for one on Ricket's Reef!

    Sorry to hear about losing the Flame Angel, always loved that fish.

    Yea, with how rogue the flame went I had to get him out asap. Was not worth the risk of the corals and anthias.

    ha ha gotcha. Yeah it always seems like the tangs are dumb enough to go into the traps first.

    Where are the new pics son?

    Here are a bunch of pics. Some before the uproar and some after. The ones showing the stand are going to be before the uproar. Last photo is of the acan mini colony I had to cut 3/4 off on.
