I'm trying to find a fish... I'm looking for another ray but not having much luck. There is a nice, large vlamingi tang that I can get that would probably be a good fit in my tank but I'm not sure I want to pull the trigger yet. I am also keeping my eyes open for moorish idols but I will prefer to get those after a couple more months pass.
As far as hardware, I have more fans coming and then I'll hook up the other two MH lights. I am also looking for an aquacontroller.
Besides this, just looking for some colorful frags.

Thanks a lot. This has been quite a commitment (both time and $$). Fortunately, after 6 months, the setup process is almost finished. Just a few more small tweaks.

looking great crimzy, way to keep a step ahead of me

You were my motivation bronco.

As an update, the idols are still not eating but constantly grazing in the tank. Yesterday I tried some live brine shrimp. Today I picked up some live mussels from the grocery store. They still appear extremely active and healthy but haven't gone for my food offerings yet.
As an aside, my stingray decided to go for a carpet surf early this morning. Fortunately my wife heard him flopping around and came to wake me up. He was probably on the floor for almost 5 minutes before I could get him back in the tank but he seems fine now. Stupid ray...

I was reading, wondering if you were going to say that she picked him up and put him back in.

I get scared when my clwonfish goes flopping around and ends up in the back of my tank. My gf has to get it out.

Newayz hope the idols start eating for you and stay healthy!

I haven't posted pics here in a while so here goes. Some of these pics were taken by daughter so I had to edit them slightly. But they're not bad for a 2 year old...

Looking good! The last pic is my fav., it looks like a painting!
BTW, any chance you could ask the little one for a FTS now that the water has cleared a bit?
