lol yes definetly my happy place... just need some good seating now...

yeah the wrasse is the only ive ever seen, its a tripletail maori wrasse. so far pretty calm until he saw an allens chromis - seriously shocked i have 15 or so chromis and he doesnt bother them, the shiny reflective blue must have been a favourite for him, he went beserk when i put 2 in..

Did you add the new Chromis after lights off when all the fish were sleeping? You may have a different reaction if you do it that way. Fish tend to think that action at the water surface will involve feeding, and will gulp down new fish when they might not if they weren't already in feed-mode.

Dang, that Efflo is looking sweet. Was it a Bali Maricultured piece?

new fishes, probably the last fish i will add as tha maori wrassein beggining to see any new additions as lunch, good thing these guys held their own so far...

update..

I can't believe how sweet your tank looks in sub a short period of time. The difference between buying colonies and the modern habit of frags!

Post a pic of your mystery tang - I'm sure someone here can ID it!

yeah ive been insisting that i only have pumps on one end.. and adding some pretty demanding sps i need pretty heavy flow on one end while the "slow" end is better for gonis and some lps i want to keep still. I dont need 4, but i dont vacuum much dietrus off the bottom anymore lol. 3 are vertical running contant and one horozontal making waves at the top, gives a nice shimmer and the sps on top are happy. Tangs love it and the caves are clean.
