East side, West side... haha!
When do they get thier own zip codes???
I think you need more rock too!

Yup - more rock needed - I did just buy 40# of dry table (ledge) rock - but it was kinda high dollar - even for dry...Most of it's in, and next is some more dry base, likely next month. There's just one little 8x12" table that I gotta mount with some titanium rod I've got to form a ledge. At least the fish are happy these days!!!

no matter how much rock tang puts in his tank its always gonna need more! lol
That's what I'm afraid of!! lol .....the last $200 for shelf rock went wat too fast.......Just a couple more hundred pounds of Pukani dry base should do it though...The first batch of Pukani dry came in 3 kitchen waste can size chunks - and about 2-3 more should do it.

Wow....just wow. Finally I get to really "see" your tank. When that thing is fully populated with coral, it will truly be World Class.

The purple & hippo both have it - but they are healing up nicely - though it takes time.....In the old days, these 2 fish spent too much time in the 125, and since I used to have to travel TOOO much - water quality suffered for a couple years, and they both suffered from it....Now that water parameters are very high - it;s slowly healing up - but it'll probably be next year before they are fully healed. Of course diet is much better these days too, but it just takes time....
I can't wait till the tank IS "first class" {thanks slice} - but it's gonna be a couple years....them softball to football sized chunks of acro DON'T COME CHEEP!! and I just don't have the $10k to blow on corals atm....so we wait
