Good for you! Alot of work but it sure paid off

Nicely done Lance. Great to see all your livestock made it through the de-Ichnifycation process..

P.S. That air compressor seen any use lately.. :lol:

I was wondering....do you have any shrimp in your tank? I noticed the falco (is it?) hawkfish. I always thought they were cool, but have been to chicken to try one....I even passed on some wee tiny 1" ones at the shop.

I've used it twice since, but she won't go anywhere near it. :wink:

Nope, no shrimp in this tank. With a Tuskfish, Falco Hawkfish and a new Lunar Wrasse I don't think they would last very long. All I've got for a CUC is a bunch of large snails.

Now that the Ich ordeal is long over everything is going so well I even acquired some new additions. Some new fish, and corals and am considering some Vortech MP's. Dave has some MP20's and MP40's coming in so I can observe them in action. Here's a few pics of the new additions:

A little Fire Clown that Joan wanted because she says we have too many yellow fish in the tank. :rolleyes:

So what do I do? Get another yellow fish of course. CBB I got recently from Chaloupa. He is doing well in his new home Sarah.

There's also a Lunar Wrasse in there but he won't co-operate for a photo. Kinda camera shy yet.

Huge bubble coral I got from Marie because she has no room for it anymore in to her forest of SPS. This thing is pretty big. I measured it at over 12" when fully extended. I was a little worried I had too much flow for it in this tank but it seems to be happy in the corner protected by the rockwork.

And I can't post any pics without at least one of Sydney.

And a few random shots of the tank:

I had a feeling it would expand twice the size if given a chance :lol:

nice! put some SPS on the left side, let it grow out a bunch, and it'll look awesome.

Frag order is on the way.

Well I got my new Vortech MP40's today. I set them up and fiddled with the settings for 10 minutes or so. Suddenly there was a loud thumping noise. Not to worry, it was just the sound of the old Korallias hitting the bottom of the garbage can. :mrgreen: The MP 40's are amazing, I should have got them a long time ago. Turned on high they blow crap out of every rock in the tank. Don't need any detritus eaters with these things; crap blows up into the water column and down the overflows. I haven't decided which setting I like best yet, but am leaning toward either Long Pulse Mode or the Reef Crest Random Mode.
