I come home and the peice of furniture my 29 is on is soaked its less then half full and my floor is soaked! Oh and the thing it was on is over a 100 yrs old
My skimmer leaked. So I setup a 5gal put the fish in and I have someone that is taking the clowns that are in there and then the wrasse will stay in the 5gal until I get the 29 back up tomorrow.

Well the 29 is back up and running. I think this thread is pretty much done.... So I am going to post these last pictures and then maybe in a few months post growth pictures.

Glad to see your copperband is doing well. Mine unfortuntely did not last more than a 2 1/2 weeks. I tried feeding mysis, brine, formula 1 and 2 and fresh clam and shrimp that I got from Wholefoods. I only saw him eat once. I was just about to go to the store to get garlic to soak my food in when I noticed he was dead. Just glad to see that yours has survived.
Did you happen to see the potters wrasse when your were at phishy? I was reluctant to buy one because I hear they are more difficult to keep than a copperband but I just had too. They are sooo beutiful! If you are interested in every getting one I would go get one from phishy right away. The three that they have there were eating frozen foods.
I was very excited about the sale as well. I ended up getting a huge goniopora there for $50.00, a potters wrasse, two koralian #3 power heads, and some sand and a couple random things. Here are some pictures of the potters wrasse and goniopora

Well for one I HATE YOU. I went to phishy yesterday to get a koralia 3 and they where out and I bet you got the last ones. And yes I saw that wrasse at phishy and its SICK! And I know what tank you got that goniopora from I was going to get it a few weeks ago but didnt. It is in the 1st tank on the left. Ya I got ALOT of stuff from the sale to. And that sux about your copperband. My is doing GREAT.
My frag tank is doing GREAT I have got atleast 7 frags in it. Just SPS from my tank. I am saving ALOT of frags for the swap here in town at the end of summer.

Well for one I HATE YOU.
I think that might be a little harsh, lol. Glad to hear your copperband is doing good. I think I might give one a try again later sometime. Trying to get some more hardy fish first. I think my next purchase will be a pair of clowns in a few weeks. I think you are right about the goniopora. They had a blue one there that was not open, I bet it is beautiful though.

Where is the frag swap at?

I am not sure this yr. I heard they are wanting to do it somewhere cheaper. I did not go to the last one but am going to try and set up a table for this one. All I know is its around the end of summer and in town
