I am so frustrated with my tank right now, I am about to cry. I hate everything in it, on it around it... I am so frustrated and I am just done for today. I got a bunch of new fish and a bunch of corals and I could really care less if I left them all in a bucket and never touched this tank again. OMMFG! I'm can't get anything to go right and I can't get anything to do what I want, I have dropped like for things in there today and I can't get to the bottom of my tank, so I can't reach them. I am really just getting very very aggravated. Anyone want a tank?

Okay jas- that one made me laugh.
Thanks for the support guys. I am just sooooo frustrated. Everytime I look at this thing, it just makes me mad. There is a flashlight in the tank, at the bottom and I can't get to it, even on a ladder, and it's just hopeless. I have fish to acclimate and my fox face is hungry so he's eating my gorgonian and I don't have time to feed them... I'm just exhausted and I am frustrated and I just want to dump these fish in and go to bed. blurg.

Okay, so now that I am done with my tantrum... Sorry guys, I was so frustrated with my tank. I have dropped so many things in there and it's just getting ridiculous. With the new lights, I had issues getting into the tank, and Then I dropped a flashlight in there... But I'm good now. I made my boyfriend get in there and get it all out.
That's what they're for.
So I got alot of fish and corals today!
I got:
x1 Rock beauty (3 inches)
He is really happy and swimming a ton! He has been out all night
x1 Achilles tang (almost 3 inches)
also doing well. I got him on sale, so he was only 80 bucks! I think it's an awesome deal for a pretty and rare fish. He is obviously still a juvenile but I think he will be really gorgeous in a few weeks once I get him on a good diet and get him active.
x1 white spotted puffer
He is going back tomorrow! I hate this fish! The guy at the LFS said he was cute and awesome and plays nice with everyone. (This what part of the reason I freaked out earlier) He went in the tank (my hospital is down, so they all went in after a freshwater bath.) and started attacking my lion straight away. It really mad me angry. Luckily, he was too busy fighting to notice that I scooped him up in a net. My lion is really freaked out now. So this fish is going back. That guy is a liar!
I also got a full rock of GSP which I really wanted alot. It was only 35 bucks for the whole thing and also I got a whole rock of Galaxia which I really like. I think it looks awesome! I put the GSP in the sand bed in the front so I can see my little sea-lawn and the Galaxia is in the middle area on the side of the tank.
I think I am going to trade that puffer in for a long nose hawk fish. I really like those and I know they're peaceful. They have one there that is a good 3+ inches. What do we think?

i think that sounds great! I love those achilese tangs, they are so pretty! I've heard they can be finicky so something, so good luck! Sorry about the puffer though, that sucks. i love my lion too and when my arrow crab started messing with him i got rid of it right away, so i understand.

Yeah he has a great color and is a good size. This way, he can't hide as easily but I can still find him and look at him... unlike all of my other fish.
I just saw my mandarin for the 1st time in almost a week and he is getting BIG! He is very fat and obviously pretty happy. I don't hear him complaining.
