This thread will contain my tanks journey back to recovery. Many pics to come.
This was my tank before the idiots sold me contaminated water and wrecked my tank.

Notice many of the corals gone as well as some of the fish...
Had to put the brain in between the rocks so that the wrasse wouldn't flip it over. Stupid wrasse... sigh...

My newest addition in the tank. Sorry it was moving so much I couldn't get a decent picture of her.
It just felt so weird with out a clown trigger in my tank... she's 1.5" and she's been in my friend's q tank for 2 weeks and eats everything that I feed her and what ever he was feeding her. (Not that I had to worry about a trigger eating)


My new additions, flame angel and coral beauty angel fish. Coral beauty, I couldn't take a clear shot because she's a busy body but the colors are beautiful on her. Strong metallic blue outline and dark purple sides with hint of orange just screams with beauty. Flame angel is the same but in MUCH brighter colors. Just adds so much color to my tank and I am extremely happy.
I will take some better pics once my wife gets done with our canon t2i to take some really good pictures.
Update 10/27/2011 Wife took some pictures for me last night.

As I was looking through the pics last night, I noticed white spots on the coral beauty and ran to the tank... and sure enough... ich spots were on my flame and my coral beauty.
Took them out (took forever) and put them in a big tote with 20g of DT water then put a koralia pump in it then did a formalin treatment using quick cure.
Sigh... it's never easy huh?
Purple tang is completely healed from HLLE. You can see the scars on the side of her body but it's really not bad at all.



Here are few new pics of the tank. Got a new rock of green star polyps and they have been doing well and thanks to a tip from a friend, I think they will do real well.
Galaxy coral at night extending it's sweepers. Very cool and was lucky to pick up that huge chunk for $19.
I have never had any luck with any xenia but I was able to get one from my friend and it's actually pulsing. Torch is doing pretty good as well.
I'm very happy at the moment, hopefully I can keep my phosphate down and keep this going.

I can't find anything about contaminated water....what happened? How was the tank wrecked? I looked at the posted linked thread and all I find is the tank all happy, and everyone talking about coral...

Your set up is very nice Siptang. The Cown Trigger is beautiful. I can see some new memories being formed with your new additions.

Original post lol. Picking up the flame angel and coral beauty tonight. I'm very impatient sue me lol.
I'm going to put them in together after the light goes off so that they have higher chances of surviving and higher chance of co existing... Good thing is that I'm finally off tomorrow so if any thing happens, I can take one of them (coral beauty most likely) and exchange her for something else.
hey for $25, you can beat the price. (for both of them)

Thanks guys. Oh my goodness... these angels are hiding like there is no tomorrow and my purple tang is being a prick and chasing flame around a bit. I'm trying to get a good picture at the moment. Clown trigger is eating mysis and blood worms, flakes like crazy. spectrum pellets? not so much. I'm trying to initiate the feeding for the angels but I know that it's going to take couple of days to do so. :/ I introduced them at the same time and they are not beating each other up which is fantastic news!

LOL! Sounds fun to me. I found it exciting when I added new friends to their new home. Hope things work out for you.

Looking good Siptang!!! Keep us posted on how the angles do together. I recently lost my CB and was thinking about replacing it with a flame. The Clown Trigger is amazing looking!!

Someone on here posts that it's okay to put two mini (dwarf) angels in the same tank together. Haven't seen the poster for awhile but they should be good if introduced the way that poster said to. I did it the way he said to and everything worked out great. My two D.A.'s seem to get along great. Swim around together and there hiding spots are close by eachother.
