great news, queen is starting to come out of his shell, venture out more and eating well, i was worried for a bit because every queen i've ever had was very bold and aggressive, this one is a little shy. he's already got great color for being so young, i look forward to him getting bold and...

i'll post the good and the bad, my one big dissapointment, queen angel who i don't think will make it. i got him from *********** as opposed to diver's den not sure if thats why, he came in almost full adult color and beautiful, eating etc, however in 2 days he started breathing heavy and now...

rounding out the stock mainly for color and activity saddle butterfly about 3 inches and racoon butterfly (4.5 inches), they haven't ate much, picked on some rocks, not sure if they will make it, i tried so many different ways to get them to eat, he doesn't show signs of stress etc and swims and...

pakistani butterfly 1 inch, such a cool little fish, seems he explores every nook and cranny, eating well, really neat patterns:

auriga butterfly 3 inches, my second fav butterfly, good eater, very active

longnose butterfly 4 inches, my fav butterfly, his swimming patterns are so cool, upside down, backwards etc, always on the go and front and center, not phased by bigger more aggressive fish, just a great all around fish and very beautiful

bicolor foxface and scribbled rabbitfish about 4 and 3 inches, these guys are best buds always going up and down the sides and across the entire 8' footprint, don't bother anyone, eating great, grazing on algae etc great fish, highly recommended

some more small fish, blue damsel and tank bred occelaris clown, damsel has been with me for 12 years, usual damsel spunky, hardy, a little aggressive but not so bad. clownfish came in as 3 tank bred from live aquaria, one was doa, one died in 3 days, this one survived but hangs out in the...

prep work was 4 hours for the carpenter to expand the hole in wall, take out window. the aquarium guys got here with the tank at 10 am and was finished moving the 600 out, moving the 550 in , transferring the water, live rock, fish, plumbed, uv etc by 10 pm. so roughly 16 hours total. Quote...

1 inch royal gramma, so spunky for such a little fish, always moving so hard to get a good pic, here is a blurry pic of him in his huge territory of cavey live rock

marine betta a really cool fish, super hardy survived the tank crash, perches on rocks like a grouper (i think they are groupers?)

snowflake moray, also a survivor of tank crash, he is really tame, he eats out of my hand, no feeding stick required, i just swish the shrimp or squid in the water a few times and he smells it and comes up, sometimes the big vlamingii steals it lol. here are a few pics of him popping out:

do you mean after the crash? it was rather sad, fish all died within 2 weeks, the rest took another 2 to 3 months to fully recover with alot of backbreaking water changes, hypo, etc . Quote: Originally Posted by Jerth6932 Very nice, how long was your turn-a-round?

Juvenile Angels: French and Emperator came in together from Diver’s den and were eating from day 1, they hang out together and even clean each other, it’s hilarious. Emperator is especially very responsive always coming front and center begging for food and following you around. French also is a...

Chrysurus Angel (6 inches): Bought or should I say rescued this poor guy from some local reef guy at 3 inches. When the beautiful fish started nipping on his corals, I think he aggressively caught him and stuck him in the sump until he sold him, barely fed him probably because he was very thin...

Blue tang (5.5 inches): bought at 2 inches, one of thesurvivors of the crash. Super hardy, nicecolor, personality and has gotten really thick and is a pig almost as much asthe Vlamingii. I conclude that is whypeople love tangs so much, always out in the open, swimming looking for foodand colorful.

inhabitants: Vlamingii Tang (14 inches): 5 inches and grew like a weed, he is very thick about 4.5 inches at his maximum and eats like a pig. Drawbacks ,he is skittish and startles easily which startles the other fish. Still a great fish that attracts the most attention from first impression...

My current attempt at aquascaping yesterday, don’t mind the pumpkin lol
