Hahahaha yeah...husbands....hahaha. Hey Meowzer, I think it is because mine has been in the 75g for about 4 years and all the books, etc say that the smaller the environment the more aggressive they can become. Let's hope the new little sailfin can open up a can of whip a.. if he needs to...ahahahaha

Nicely done. I really like the left island and think the orange monti cap is in the perfect place to grow from.

Thanks. I thought it looked a little bare right now. I have another orange monti frag on the right island. I think the right island is my fav so far. I am working on an order for another sunset monti, rastas, hornets, and a few others. I lost my large frag of purple monti and of the orange. They didnt like the transition I guess. who knows... I will try to put the yellow tang in this weekend, keep your fingers crossed.....I hope that he behaves!

Well the good news is that everyone is getting along today. My royal gramma is out, but hasn't been eating. It will probably take a couple days for him to adjust. Here is a couple pics. The LTA decided to go between a rock and the back of the aquarium..hahaha

Me to, that is a really nice tank. wanna trade?

Nope! No trade! Unless you have a 225??? hahahahaha
On another note, I decided to run some tests this evening. Ammonia, nitrite, nitrates, and phos are all ZERO!! whoohoo. Ph is 8.3. Temp-78. All is well. And all I can say is........finally....... This tank has been a lot of work! 10%-20% water changes weekly is not easy with this big boy. Been fighting cyano on the sand...I think I am winning...

Well, I don't believe this. Check out this pic of my female clown. She wasn't like this two hours ago.......guess the powder brown is more aggressive than anticipated. I added some stress coat to help her, but I think she'll be fine. But goodness! What a slash!!! EDIT: she has another slash on this side right under her fin...looks bad.... I am not looking forward to adding the yellow tang in here....oh boy....since he's so big, do you think the powder brown will settle down once I get the yellow in there? Probably wishful thinking.....:( I always wanted a p.brown, but now I dunno....

Heres a pic of my latest addition. And to update: My female clown is healing fast....yea :) I am off to the lfs to buy another shrimp, some nass. snails, and maybe a blue clam!! Oh and a large net so I can finally move the yellow tang over...It should be interesting to say the least...
