Any updates ???

Ok, so since the last posting, we decided to only keep this tank so I sold off my 90 gallon. Then we decided to move it downstairs to where the 90 was. So I think it was two maybe three weeks ago I did that. Right now we are on the tail end of some hair algae. We have introduced these two to the tank (ORA Ocellaris) Sorry about the dust.

I also added a few corals, waiting for a couple to color back up and I am slowly moving them up onto the rockwork.

Now that this guy has been in the tank for a little bit he's been out and about more. He has just started venturing out to the other side if the tank. He has yet figured out the timing on the autofeeder yet, everyone else demolishes the food before he notices. But he's been eating Rods, Mysis, and Nutrmar Ova.

This one is from today.

Where did u get the sunburst from ..... I got 1 the other day ...... Still hiding under the rocks

 

[mchartier]

I got him from Sea Creatures.

The first 10 days or so he stayed either in or around his cave, now he hangs out front more but still favors one side of the tank.

So we picked up our first LPS. These were taken moments after placing in the tank.

I tried to talk the wife into one of these but couldn't

 

[jfourn83]

I was eyeing that war paint one in the back yesterday matt lol

 

[mchartier]

I'm still trying to talk her into letting me get one.

 

[mchartier]

Added this piece today. It is a little bit larger than a silver dollar.

I got this purple haze Jan 26th and had an issue with shipping and when I got it this is how it looked.

And here it is today (poor pic sorry)

[mchartier]

Thanks, she's pretty good about what we spend on the tank. A lot of times I can use the "But its for the kids" line seeing it is their tank, I just take care of it.
