a few updates

Well I did a bit of rearranging after adding my new protien skimmer on the reef tank, what a great chore but I love the new skimmer, barely fit into the tank and what a flow the thing put out, I am going to have to add a spider out put on it so I can dirrect the out put in a few diredctions, a bit much for one way. Added a a few more corals and polyps, purple sea fan, purple gorian, another bubble annomie, clowns are in love with. Here is the 55 gal and you can see everybody fits nice in there for now, but in the long run they are going into at least a 100+ gal tank, or split up, clowns from reef will be divided up as they grow up a bit too, it was never my great idea to have that many, I had the back and white and the 2 maroon, then my hubby came home with the 2 sebae and an annomie without checking with me and he has no clue about the reef or fish, so I smiled and just said thank-you so very much, but the lfs said he would buy them back at anytime if needed. Same with anything else. I finnaly caught my purple lobster, the ---- has been eating my gobies and jawfish. he is now in the 29 gal all alone. It funny the Heinochus Butterfly and the Yellow Tang sit and groom each all the time, they lay on their sides and take turns to clean each other. The Lion hangs upside down under the rocks unless he is hungry then he sits at the top corner begging for food, and the puffer just wonders around around the tank all day long. He will only eat at night.. I had a bit of trouble with him when I moved him from the 29 gal to the 55 he engulfed a bunch of air and didn't get it all out and was floating ass up so I puffed him up under the water hoping when he expeled the water he would get the air out with it, the first time he got rid of most of the air and the second time he got rid of the rest, this had went on for more than 24 hours I thought that I had killed him, ruined his swim bladder. But now he is just vibrant incolor and so much more active and eating much better. I had only had him about two weeks because he was a freebie from a website order, didnt think he was going to be as good size as he is. The pic under my name is him puffed up, ain't he cute, butt was a nessary thing to do not to torchure him or just for the fun of it. Let me know what you think and give me your input. And the reef is going to moving up to at least a 240 gal hoping by spring.
Post your here I am very interested in seeing everybodys tanks and fish.

Just about 9 months from the 12 gal which I had for about 1 yr.
