Ya know..I'm really glad I got his picture that day...he has found a nice comfy spot in one of the caves in my tank and I rarely see more than than one or two of his arms reaching out when I feed. (I slip him a piece of silverside on the sly when I feed my bubble tip anemone) needless to say..he loves that! I have these emerald crabs
that love to steal his treats so I make sure he gets his!

Wow, tank is looking great. I love the Scopas, I am thinking about putting one in my 55, I know if I do I will get screamed at by everyone, but I got one in at work this week, and it is no more than 3 inches, and by the time he outgrows a 55gal. it will be time for me to upgrade to either a 90 or bigger. How do you like the Pygmy Angel? That or a Flameback is on my fishlist as soon as my new tank cycles, Does he nip at any corals, I havent heard much on those in a reef tank.

Thanks!
My pygmy angel is Great! She constantly picks around the rockwork but hasn't nipped any corals yet..I have had her since Sept of 06' She lived in my QT until my tank was ready for fish..She puts a lot of movement in my tank. I know what you mean about the scopas..they are really nice too...not at all agressive in my tank to the other fish..I love their coloring. go ahead..get one. you won't be sorry.

You say "Queen Midas blenny", is there any difference between a queen and a regular midas blenny?
I have a midas blenny and I just love mine! Do you?
They have soo much personality
Also- I see you have a scopas tang- have you ever had a problem with ick?
Or is that a less likely tang to get ick?
Either way I think that is a pretty cool looking fish if you ask me!

well...i still have a little hair algae..but it has greatly improved! I do weekly water changes and when I do that I also just do a quick "blow off the rocks with a power head to remove any extra debris (which there is very little now) before I siphon out old water to exchange, halide lights are down to 8 hours, I bought a diamond goby that is like a machine!
I don't know..just a little tank maintanence..oh, and i have a phosban reactor. that's all.

Again, your tank is really gorgeous, and your fish all look SO happy!!

Thanks alot! I appreciate the compliment!
You're right! algae can be really frustrating!
But if you're persistant, sooner or later you make headway! With my bio-load (I like alot of fish) I fiannly realized! I can't slide when it comes to water changes! I am faithful where that is concerned! I am thinking of setting up a second tank..we'll see.
