The blue tangs fins are amazing! I feel for you and mysterious coral deaths while everything else looks good.

[Jason McK]

WOW Incredible. Always love to see the updates

Good looking happy fish!
Hope you get the coral problem solved although they look pretty good.
Nice to hear from you again Brad

I did something today that I have not done for a long time... I added some fish. Anytime you add fish, you can be sure of one thing. There will be ONE resident fish that will attack the new guy(s). In this case, my rusty angel seems to dislike my new butterfly fish.


I also added a hawkfish, but he is smarter and has hidden away for now.

Good luck with the new additions untamed. I just finished reading through the whole thread - love the build! I'm going for something similar soon.

After having set up your system and run it for several years, is there anything you would go back and change or have built differently?

Absolutely nothing. Maybe I'm lucky...maybe it is a matter of healthy fish. Ich has always been in the tank.

What is that coral? Is it a Montipora? I have what looks similar, gets brown polyps. Came with my tank and never been able to completely identify it. Soft tho, Like stiff leather I guess

The butterflys aren't just eating everything reef in your tank?

[untamed]

The butterflies peck at coral constantly... But there is so much coral that the aren't able to do any damage.
