Got a few decent pics but I had to turn off the left side halide to do so. No flash, so the color is a little dark but close to actual I guess.

I will take proper coral pics soon since these ones are all about the fish! Water is quite murky too since I was moving rocks around a bit.

The new Powder Brown



The new Hawk



Bit of a group shot...you can see they are all getting along no problem. I am still so shocked about this. I figured there would be way more than 10 minutes of chasing.



You can see the Kole Tang in the middle of this pic.

Boy is the Powder Brown ever active! He really zips around the tank much faster than the other tangs.

I would say he is by far the most active, followed by the Hippo, and Kole. The Yellow is kind of mellow and slow and the Naso seems to just constantly be in cruise control

Naso has to be my favorite still!

Its also incredible how much filament algae the Kole Tang has eaten off the back glass already. He is a busy little guy too.

When I find I'm getting a lot of filament algae in my tank I actually stop feeding for a day or two and it's all taken care of by the tang and foxface.

I haven't really had much at all yet but I will keep that in mind. Not so sure it would work though with my tank because I have a bad feeling the tusk would get cranky if I skipped a day of feeding!

I guess the tank has been set up a week now or almost and I have yet to clean the front glass. Hasn't needed it.

I am interested to see what running ZEO right from the get go this tie does for the tank. After all the massive water changes or I guess additions to fill this tank, nitrates are now at 3. So I am starting ZEO with very low nitrates this time. That is 3 after a week of having the tank running...wish I would have tested day 1.

The full tank, still with just the one halide on...I still have a whole open side to work with on the left

LOTS more room...mostly for LPS I think.

Got some good shots of the Powder Brown. He certainly isn't shy and seems to like the camera.



Love this shot of his tail



Lurking in the shadows....



King of the tank
