End of the Month update with bad news. Yesterday I awoke to 2 dead bodies in the tank. I lost the sickly little Dispar Anthias and my big male. All day I couldnt find the other 2 that were supposed to be left and now today still no sign. I think they are dead in the rocks as well. I did a water change on friday otherwise nothing was changed. All 4 were doing so well and eating like pigs. The little guy never really bulked up and had a sore so I thought maybe he was a goner but I never expected the other 3 to go too.

Now I need to find something to replace them with. I dont want to get Dispars again or Evansii anthias. I would like to find a nice schooling fish that are always in the open to add some movement. I am thinking maybe a 2M 3F school of flasher wrasses but I defiantly want to stay away from your common stuff like chromis. What do you guys think I should get?

I picked up a nice little plate coral this month as well. Nice orange with some light green flecks throughout. I think once I add the Royal Blue LED's this coral is really going to pop.

Now for some pictures.

I guess its time for an update! I recently moved into a new place and thought I was going to have to downsize. Recently we found a place for the big tank and I got down to getting it reassembled before the mrs. changes her mind.

Things have been sitting in a holding tank without a light (infront of a window) and no skimmer so most of the SPS has lost color. You guys wont be seeing pictures of those though!

Also added a bunch of new fish, funny how when you have an empty big tank you cant find any fish that appeal to you but the second you have limited space you start finding fish everywhere. So far the stocking list 2 clowns, Blue Assessor, one Neon Goby, one McCoskers Wrasse, and the new guys are a couple Bangaii Cardinals.
