![]() I had the pleasure of visiting Sarah's (Chaloupa) new store today and I was very impressed. Fishes and other livestock all looked healthy and fit, and the tanks were all clean and well maintained. The new 10' display tank is killer! Gonna look great when those corals grow in. Good job Sarah!
I came home with Dave's (MrFish55) new Moorish Idol, a very nice Squamosa, and some nice-looking zoas. I'll get some pics of the clam up in the next few days.

![]() Well, didn't take long, the other fish were chasing him last night, this morning he was swimming out front and the rest were all hiding in the back! Looks like we have a new king in town, beautiful fish, thanks again.

![]() Soooo been awhile since the last update on the tank...I have a couple of videos up on youtube;
http://youtu.be/gHmotiBbVv0 and http://youtu.be/gjrKbOo7Pus (sorry for the background noise, I'm not really great at the video editing!) But it gives you an idea of how the tank was looking.....did you catch that "was"? The tank had a leak.....and a fairly bad one...so last Sunday we ripped it down, transferred all contents to my 150g (luckily it hadn't sold yet) and some of our store tanks, and cleaned it out ![]()

![]() Thanks everyone! This was every reefers nightmare...but we survived...lesson be learned...if you buy a used tank, know the people or get the age of the tank, and possibly reseal it if you aren't sure of the silicone. Would have saved us a ton of grief if we had done that especially with a 10 foot tank.
Oh well, the rebuild will be fun and leaves us the option to add a few new tangs to the mix now that everyone is moved out. I've got a Powder Blue, Flame Fin Tomini and a gorgeous Blonde Naso Tang as well as the Orange Shoulder we took out after Tennenti Tang tried to kill him, then the Tennenti went after our Maculiceps Tang (formerly we called him an Earspot Tang which is what we bought him as)but that war is over with those 2 so adding new ones in the mix might be nice, plus the perfect time is now! Will update! My current fish list is; 6 Yellow Tangs 1 Maculiceps Tang Tennenti Tang Sailfin Tang Vlamingi Tang 3 Picasso Clownfish 3 Hawaiian Flame Wrasse (2 are males now) 1 Sixline Wrasse 1 Rhomboid Wrasse 1 Golden Dwarf Eel 1 Diamond Goby 1 Hector's Goby 1 Target Spot Mandarin 1 Potter's Angel 1 Black Blenny and I think that's it!
