As long as I don't get the insulation wet it will be okay without any covering. It would be pretty tough to do now with all of the electronics in the way but I still might do it at some point.

Today we finished off the rest of the viewing area of the tank room. We found this cool leather set used on Craigslist so now there is something worthy of the tank to sit in. The bar and bookshelf were also purchased from Craigslist/Kijiji.

I just came home to a dead Copperbanded Butterflyfish tonight. I've had it since the fall of 2008... it was always a very active fish and ate readily 3 times every day. These pictures were taken just last week. I have no idea why it died but I've since done a water change and placed some fresh carbon in the reactor. The last new additions to the tank were a Flame Angel and a Mandarin Dragonet back in the spring (June I think).

I suspect something had been going on with that CBB for a while as he was very underweight. You can see how he the curve of his body below and behind the gill flap and above his eyes are concave, so he had probably been wasting for a while, likely so slowly you didn't notice. He might have had gut parasites, or some other conditions that made it hard for him to absorb his food.

In any case I'm sorry you lost him. I had mine for a year when he mysteriously died of what I can only describe of the fish equivalent of lung cancer. An entire gill was replaced by some sort of tumour over the course of weeks, then one morning he was just dead, after behaving perfectly normally the night before. They're fickle animals.

You're probably right. The dorsal and tail fins were also a little bit ragged looking compared to normal which I had noticed. Like most people I purchased the CBB for aptasia control. With any luck after 6 years that crap won't come back and I won't feel inclined to purchase another.

This 3-4 year old powder blue tang is my next typically delicate fish and it still looks relatively round so I've got my figures crossed that this was an isolated incident. As a precaution I'm going to start adding garlic extract to their food again. The CBB only cared for Mysis and whatever worms etc that grew within the tank but the tang also eats pellets and nori daily.
