Yay!!! I'm SO excited!! I just picked up a beautiful...perfect sized, coral beauty angel. I've SO missed having an angel in my reef. She's acclimating right now and will be for the next 2 1/2 hours. She's doing great in the acclimation bucket...dare I say, better than my last 2 angels. She very active and curious...I love her already!!
Pics when she's settled.

I'm pretty sure that no one except me is following this thread anymore...that's OK. I wanted to post pictures of my beautiful new cb angel...her name is Esther. Nope, not going with Sister Mary Angelica anymore...not a good omen at this point. I picked the name Esther, just cause I thought she looks like an Esther...very colorful and feminine.
Esther has been in my tank only about 24 hours, but I have to say... I've NEVER seen an angel that was so friendly and so comfortable right from the start...she's great!!
I also took a couple of pics of the millipora that I got about a month and and a half ago...it's really cool. All pics taken under the blues...sorry. Oh, and the front of my tank needs to be scraped (again).
Here she is... Esther...

Are you following me???
LOL, thanks Ryk. I'm so happy with my new little addition there. Esther is by far the friendliest little angel I've met to date. I can't believe how she's just kind of blended in and been accepted in my reef tank. Very cool...

What??? Me???? Well, I never...!! OK, yeah, she's spoiled rotten along with all my other critters...THERE!! Seriously...she's doing great, as I thought she would.
Soooooo....I went to my favorite LFS in Madison today...my list included frozen BioPure mysis shrimp for my seahorses, macroalgae to place in my sh tank, AND a NEW SKIMMER for my reef!!!!
I am SO tired of trying to keep that Seaclone running without it pushing crap into my reef!! I was looking at the skimmers, and lo and behold they actually had a Coralife Super Skimmer on hand...I BOUGHT IT!!!
Tomorrow I try to figure out how to get it up and running. Wish me luck!!

Well, I got my skimmer working (correctly, I hope). I'm not sure I care much for the looks of it in my tank ( I don't have a sump), but it sure is quiet. I'm not completely giving up the Seaclone, I'll keep it and maybe sometime down the road possibly put it in my sh tank...not real sure about that idea just yet either, but it's a possibility.

...I'm probably not the best person to inspire you about skimmers.
Considering how prestine your tank is, it should clear up in a few days.

I'm not kidding, I'm embarrassed that this skimmer is taking out so much crud from my reef!! I may just head back to purchase another one for my sh tank...did I mention that I'm planning an upgrade there??

You may have, I don't recall. But what are you plans???
Do consider this before you add another; skimmers pull all sorts of "good" nutrients out too that pods and other clew up crew need to flourish.

That may be true Ryk, but my reef needed some serious cleaning up. Things were getting out of hand in there, and slowly but surely since putting in the new skimmer...things are starting to take shape again!! Not that it was cruddy looking or anything like that, but very subtle changes that I would notice that I didn't like seeing. Hard to explain, but those issues seem to be getting straightened out. Yay!!
Plan for my sh tank upgrade is posted on my seahorse thread.
