I rearranged the tank

[marie]

In the hopes that I could slip the copperband butterfly into the tank unnoticed, I did some major renos on the rock work. It didn't work, I turned my sweet achilles tang into a raging idiot, luckily the Cbb is small enough to escape into the rock work.

Anyway here are pics of the tank with it's new look. Tank is still a bit cloudy but it's clearing up fast

Lance if you want any frags come over anytime. My sandbed looks like the morning after a tidal wave :lol:

Sure, I'd love some frags. I can probably come over tomorrow if that's OK.
I've got a present for you too.

Wow Marie.

If I had a coral like the purple one in the center of your tank, I would rearrange my tank to put it into a prime viewing area too. I do not recall that coral. Did you have that one when I was up to visit?

It was quite a bit smaller when you were up and the big stag kept it kind of hidden. It looked liked this last oct

Wow Marie, your tank is really filling in nicely :eek: :biggrin:

Looks great! I like the new rock work.

[Delphinus]

Looks great.

I was really worried about my tang towards my CBB at first. For the first week or so I was convinced I would have to catch the CBB for his safety. However like yours he was small and could escape into the rockwork where my sailfin tang could not as easily follow.

It took a few weeks but they did eventually learn to tolerate one another. Anyhow, with luck, maybe this will be your outcome too. Good luck!

PS. The purple of that one coral is insane. :) It's practically all I can see. :)

Lovely as usual Marie:biggrin:

I would ask for a frag but usually corals as spectacular as that would only turn brown in my tank.

Anyone offer anger management courses for fish? My poor Cbb has been sent to the corner and isn't allowed to leave :sad:.

My achilles can make his eyes go the most amazing blue when hes angry :lol:

[marie]

Little Jack horner isn't allowed out of his corner, he does manage to sneak out once and a while when no ones looking though and he is still eating

Beautiful, that purple really does shine!

Marie, have you tried the mirror trick with the tang? It might keep him occupied long enough for the CBB to do a few laps around the tank.

I haven't tried the mirror thing yet but I'm beginning to think the little CBB deserves all he gets. He has some serious attitude .
Every time the tangs back is turned, the CBB comes out in full attack mode with all fins flared, when the tang turns back around the little terror zips back to his corner and looks like butter wouldn't melt in his mouth.
I'm pretty sure they will eventually sort it out but the copperband needs to learn some lessons in hierarchy first :lol:
