Can't wait to see the FTS even in a year. It will grow in nice!

I can't wait either. Sitting here waiting, looks like it might take a while

Some minor house keeping needed, but cleared out frags this morning, a few pieces to mount, and then water, watch it grow!

Overall, happy with the layout. I attempted to use some fijicrete in it's assembly, but it doesn't work under water very well, in as much as you can't knead it under water. In the end, this is about 85lb of fiji rock. A couple spare chunks in the sump I couldn't sell.

Still have 4 frags to mount, not sure where that won't impede growth of the other pieces. I've left a lot of room around most frags to allow for maturity.

Dealing with a fish dilemma; still a wrasse and jawfish in the "fallow" tank, but seemingly unaffected by whatever got me last month. Do I drain and catch or slowly add new fish? I have QT set up if I needed to remove and treat in an emergency, so leaning towards the latter option of adding fish.

A WP40 died during cleaning, replaced that with a RW15. Had to turn it down a bit -lol Still working on flow to not clear my sand bad along the front, might need bigger gravel.

I'm hoping the fiasco of 2014 is behind me know, with 2015 being uneventful and full of growth and color.

Good luck Brad! I am sure the tank and its inhabitants will experience great growth in 2015! All the best to you and your family in 2015!

[Aquattro]

To you and yours as well Rich!

I'd drain and catch. Continue running the tank fallow while everybody is in your QT
You know you want to do it, and I know you won't regret it

Happy New Year and best growth wishes

That Walt Smith rock you bought ...
Is it their man-made stuff, or Fiji Premium - the real thing ?

[Aquattro]

Fiji premium. And Fiji plate.
