There still small but they get along great they were all added at the same time and they couldn't be happier. They all hangout together during the day then at night they split off into there pairs:) Happy as can be

Here is my updated list after lots of thought most fish will be babies like my regal tang

Purple tang
Naso Tang
Blue Throated Trigger
Flame Angel
2 squareback anthias
some sort of sifting gobie
Mystery wrasse
3 more chromis

Does anyone have any thoughts on Powder Blue Tangs instead of the naso tang, I think it will be happier as it is much smaller and i won't have to worry about getting rid of it in a few years. I know that they are Ich magnets but do they all get it? any advice would be appreciated.

Im in the same boat as you as well my wife really wants a hippo or a powder blue and I'm so scared of ich even tho i have a good Qt system

There is just so many mixed reviews on the powder tangs

Small Update
 

So not very much has changed since i left on vacation. I had a small problem with my regal tang but he's doing well now. I didn't loose anything while i was gone and all corals and fish are happy. Right now in my tank i have

Yellow Tang
3 blue green chromes
Purple Firefish
2 normal clownfish
2 black and white clownfish
Carpenters flasher wrasse
Regal tang
Royal Gramma
Target Mandarin
6 neon gobies
Coral banded shrimp
4 Peppermint shrimp
2 Cleaner shrimp
And 2 Candy hogfish that i am trying to catch.( what a pita)

And in quarantine i have a sand sifting goby and a very small and cute blue throat trigger

as for Corals I got a Bonsai SPS and I also picked up a Small Ultra A maxima clam it is about 1 and half inches wide.

This was my first time trying with some top down shots so don't judge lol.

This is my Euphylia rock I still have one coral I'm waiting for to fill a spot.

You will be Missed :'(

love that orange plate where'd you get it?

and that naso looks great. i've only ever had a standard but the blondes sure do look sweet too.

Thanks for the pictures!
Looks really good.

Lol I have no idea i got it about 6 months ago I had it in my Biocube as well. I have never fed it and it still does well.

Ive always loved the Naso's personality since i saw the one at reef wonderland.

Orange plate coral was from Reef Wonderland...

Update 3
 

Ok so heres an update.

lately I've been cleaning up stuff and starting to get into the Set and forget category. I hooked up my dosing pumps. Im dosing calcium and alkalinity. I also ran my RODI line through my roof today and straight into my ATO and water change tank. Im starting to absolutely LOVE this water change procedure it takes me all of 5 minutes to do a 30 gallon water change. I just pump water to the drain. Then open my valve on my water changing tank and Voila. Water change is done. no more hauling annoying buckets around. I also got my Frag Tank running with a shelf i built with egg crate. Instead of the Par 38s i decided to go with 2 kessil A150's one us super blue and one is tuna blue. I love the look of these lights together. I installed a UV on my system and I've noticed a massive difference in the health of my fish.

As for live stock I've added a couple more fish and a Tiger Pistol Shrimp who is living with my lazy watchman goby. I also added a BTA that won't stop walking around :( and a purple and green blasto which is one of my new favorites.

Here are some pictures i took with my uncles(jackabby) olympus E520. I personally don't real like this camera but its better then my EPL1 so, whatever.

My tank is coming along Im looking to add some more SPS now as my tank is full of LPS and softies. Im looking for small colonies or big frags lol. Anything colourful is a consideration.

And My BTA that is no longer sitting in this spot :(

http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e4...ps872d0157.jpg

Your tank and it's inhabitants look awesome love the placement of your corals.great job...
I wouldn't have recommend getting the cauliflower ( Nephtheidae) coral as its one of the hardest NPS to have As it doesn't contain symbiotic algae,...

The tank is looking awesome.
Good to hear how easy the water changes is.
The bta well always move until it's happy.
Great job.

Wow that's an awesome blasto. :)

Is that what that white and pink thing is? Ill keep that in mind

I think the bta finally found his home


They still have one at concept :)

Thanks for the compliments guys :)

Great looking setup! I love the lighting :wink:

Me too :)

loving the tank...specifically the rock work.

Thanks a I'm liking my rock work a lot tonnes of places for corals :)

Awesome pics, is that a blue hammer?

Blue anchor :)

Whats the difference? Never heard of an anchor. Looks like hammer??

Looking sweet ! That blasto is cool. That red/pink carnation coral looks nice. Handy to have a frag partition in your sump like that. I'd likly try to do something similar on my dream upgrade tank.

A blue anchor is like a hammer but as the tips blow up like a hammer they also bend into a anchor shape i will take a close up between the two tomorrow

The frag section makes life so much easier especially because my mom hates seeing the frag plug i just use it to grow my corals over top of the plugs so you cant see it then my mom is happy :)

Ok so a little update

Everything is going pretty good. I only lost one coral because it got stung by my torch. The coral i lost was my prized Blue Anchor that finished off my Euphylia rock. I woke up one morning to find it getting stung by my torch within 2 hours it was partly covered in brown slime algae. I was sucking it off every ten minutes but i just couldn't seem to save it. Im now looking for another one but with such a rare piece its not very easy to find them.

On a good note everything else is happy.

Because of me using H2O ocean salt i have had to start dosing Magnesium but buying kent magnesium is just way to expensive i need to find something else to dose with.

These pictures were taken with my iPhone. I have a life proof case with is water proof so i stuck my phone under the water and i got some really good shots. Who knew an iPhone could take good pictures of a fish tank?

Here are some pictures of everything

Here you go denny your little hem is growing up :)

wow. Very nice H. Clearly you know what you're doing here. Keep on reefin' on :-)

Wow, Hayden! Those photos are beautiful!!!

Very nice looks like the setosa and sunny d's are doing very well

Ahaha Thanks but my tank has got nothing on yours and victors :)

Thanks there doing extremely well i got to come over after summer and pick at your coral collection :).

Hopefully my tank will survive the summer by itself :)

Lol let me know I have a bunch of mini colonies right now lol

Ok will do :)

So here's a little update after a long long time. My fish and corals are all happy and healthy(they may be a little obese:biggrin: ). My summer went well and hockey is going really good. I am having some small algae issues but it's getting better slowly. I'm having some small problems balancing grade 11 and the fish tank but everyone slips on the tank at least once:redface:

Instead of making a large list of everything I have I made a small video of my tank with a iPhone 6 Plus. I am finding the camera on this phone to be unbelievable even with the LED's.

Just click the link :lol:

Tank looks great , what are the two yellow fish with the black stripes?

Those are pilot fish they are schooling and ussually live with sharks. They get to be close to 2 feet long so you have to have a tank lined up for them. Before you buy them make sure you have somewhere to take them when they get big. Golds awuariums in calgary has 2 small ones right now. I have zero complaints about them and they are easily the most tame fish in my tank. I can pick them up in my hands whish is pretty cool.

Cool looking fish , love how they stick together.

Looking great H! Those pilot fish are tres cool!

Dude the tank looks great Hayden. Love the blonde naso such a beautiful fish and I see what u mean about them being fat lol.

Thanks!!

Victor ill have to come pick threw your tank soon. ;)

And there is a certain member in my family who really really likes to feed my fish. :mrgreen:
