While my sister was in town I had her snap a couple of pics real quick with camera, its a lot nicer than mine and the colors are a lot truer. Also I got a juvie Orange Shoulder Tang unfortunately his about as cooperative as my potters during picture time. This is how different the color is...

Well its been a long time since I started this and I never updated it so I figure its time. A while back I lost all my fish to marine velvet so I have been slowly been adding fish back. All my corals and inverts have all been done great in this tank. I also got a new light a the beginning of the...
