This was my tank cycling and the first rock creation i came up with .... :thinking: The blue devils nerely killed / stressed everything in my tank, got rid of them as soon as it cycled!!!

Newly cycled tank, with some creative rock forming, and if you look closely my favorite 3 stripe damels in the background.... :happyfish

My Naso is always happy to take a pic for the fans!


Newly arrived Nemo, happy with Naso and in background one of two cleaner shrimps!

Finally tried a friends frag of Zeus i believe it is coral and is starting to bloom nicely...we'll see how it goes from here!

Not pictured, sand sifting star fish, and royal gramma forever hiding in the the rock work, turbo snails and at one point way to early for the tank i had 2 pink tipped anenomies but they didnt last to long.. and yes i do have a small problem with red slime on some of the rocks, trying all kinds of phos-zorb products to see if that controls it, if not going with red slime remover as a last result! :scared:
Thanks to all that have helped thus far!!!!

Tank looks good! I like the unique rock placement, i'll be doing the same with my LR next weekend. What kinda light are you using? I'm guessing MH?

Yeah rick, your prob right but cant help the fact that tangs are my fav!!!

And for who asked what light i am using, its funny but i am not using MH, but a Super power compact (2-12000k's-2 Actinic Blues) ..... :happyfish
Update: Royal Gramma died this morning
due to long battle with ick :mad: I think this was due to the changing temps in my tank, i really need to get a chiller....also re -did the rock formation again will post pics later! .......

Had my tang about a month and he has the most unique personality, he follows me when i feed from side to side and is always out and about..... :jumping: .....gets along great with the other fish, also just added an algae blenny yesterday.......

Congrats on your new tank. Your rockwork ideas are very unique! I have to agree that the tang police are going to arrest you, though!!
