Almost two weeks ago, I picked up a Multicolor Angel from a local hobbyist. I've admired this fish for quite awhile, so when I saw this one for sale locally at a price I could afford, I jumped all over it. The fish was quite shy for about the first 10 days in my reef, but is now becoming more...

I've seen them at a large aquaculture supplier. From what I remember, they ran several hundred dollars.

Nice work bud! What are your plans for trim around the opening? I just finished the trim work around my tank a few weekends ago after leaving it for several weeks, and was amazed at how much better the tank looked with the trim. Please tell us more about your beautiful setup! And more pics too!

Those should be all of the photos that were lost in the message board upgrade. Hopefully, I'll have some updated pics of the tank and room posted in the next few days. I'm also working at getting some better shots of the Multicolor Angel.

Here are a few random shots from the "early days" of this tank:

Here is a shot I took of the back of the reef from inside the utility room:

This is the best pic I could get showing both viewable sides (after first setting up the tank):

My clowns after they first paired up and before they took to the anemones:
