hey goodwin, just out of curiosity, how is your battle with ick going, i remember you saying you lost a few hippo tangs because of it, but have you had any other losses due to ick, and also, what are you doing to prevent it, besides the 25 or so cleaner shrimp
oo, and one moe qustion, how is your powder blue doing, i just bought one, and noticed a few little spots on him (inevitable), it would just be nice though to hear a sucess story with that fish

It was fun to watch fish act like that.

Ick is still present in the tank, but hasn't caused any loses recently. I have added 2 more 40 watt UV's on a seperate loop to help rid the problem. That bring the total to 4 - 40 watt units. I don't have a PB tang in the tank, and probably won't try one again. I have not had good luck at all keeping those fish. The yellow belly regal blue tang is doing great. NO spots what so ever. Good luck with the powder blue!

They are a nice looking clams. Had I seen both the Gigas & the Derasa's in person prior to purchasing, I would have chosen the Gigas first. I'll try and get some good top down shots of both today and post them this evening .

The fun of putting this all together yourself.
The equipment.
The stock.
Truly, truly incredible.
In Florida, my electric bill would surpass my payment on my home.

I had visions of a nice SPS tank, but with the number of fish in the tank, I'm unable to keep the water parameters pristine enough to keep them successfully. Some are doing OK, but I don't know names. The soft corals are doing great and have added quite a few along with all of the clams.
