Well its been a while since I've updated sooo

The last couple months have been a little choppy, unfortunately we lost the Achilles at around the month point to a really intense case of ich. None of the other fish were affected but we ended up purchasing a cleaner wrasse, luckily he loves to eat brine. On top of that MY FREAKING CANDY APPLE FRAG MELTED ... gah, I don't think I will be purchasing single polyp frags in the future.

Oddly all 4 of our mandarins have disappeared, I'm not sure what to attribute this too as there is an abundance of microfauna around the tank. I hope there isn't something evil lurking in the liverock.

After snagging a few new zoa rocks we decided to reaquascape, took a few quick shots afterwords so I will grab some nicer ones tomorrow.

Mangroves are loving the 400W HPS just as much as the coral is!
