How have you found the Roland's Damsel? I've seen them before but wasn't sure how they are with other fishes?

[ElGuappo]

I think red coral had some rollands. not to sure how they are with fish tho.

Got some tank pics now that the silt has settled

The top pic is with 1 fiji purple, 1 Aqua Medic Reef Blue, and 2 kz new gen Coral Light. the bottom 5 are 2 new gen coral light and 2 AM Reef Blue. i will be leaving the fijnij purple in. i think it was far 2 blue with both reef blues.

All the ive rock was dead and in buckets with the exception of one piece to seed. when bone dry it was about 65- 70 lbs. the sand was dead and in a bucket wet and was about 55 lbs. looking for another 10lbs of sand if anyone has any to spare.

Awesome rockscaping man! Looks like Pygmy Angel territory to me.. haha And wrasses!

[ElGuappo]

YA I put a dp on some hawaiian flame wrasse today. still cant decide on an angel tho. those multicolors at rc are sweet, however blew my load on the wrasse. thinking eibli or coral beauty. maybe a rusty. as far as angels go.

I should add it was mostly intended for inverts. i like to keep thing off the sand as much as possible, so that i have no dead areas in the sand bed. for instance there is more space for my SS star and some nass snails. also lots of different spots for cleaner shrimp to set up shop. since i can only fit 4 x 54 w over this i wanted to get some shelf space closer to the surface. the center collum and the piece on the right both nearly touch the glass. made sure i could get the mag float by before i finalized.
