144 Gallon 1/2 Circle Build - photo journal

October 5th-
Its been about 6 weeks with the 144 half circle tank- Many changes (usually due to me accidentally crashing something down, rock moving and Turbo snails moving my stuff still) I think I am liking the way it looks, for now. Hard to keep your hands out of tank when seems thing would look better somewhere else! :) Also have been battling Diatom in the sand- wish it would just go away already. Have been testing & trying to raise the Calcium & Magnesium slowing but surely, everything else is testing good.
-Added 2 Tangs, blue and Kole (both died within 2 days) so I am kinda shying away from "bigger" real fish for now, everyone else is doing great.
-New fish- 2 PJ cardinals & Red Scooter Blenny, thats it, really thats it (would like to get a pair of clowns, looking for a unique mis barred pair (?)
Added Corals- My new favorite Lg Austrian Blue Staghorn, green on green 3 head ocotspawn, Kenya double tree, blue/yellow brain, orange green brain, 2 large feather dusters, zoa rock, orange/green trumpet, light blue 3 head trumpet. Also have broken off a couple of head from some of the larger frogspawns & Trumpets and putting them in on the far sides of the tank to fill up some dead space. Even though I have the Hydro 52'a still not very good lighting way over there.
These Pictures are with my Iphone- have to master how to tank better tank pictures soon. (the Staghorn is really a lovley Light Blue with medium blue- photo does not do any justice at all!

Thanks to those who also suggested some fish for my tank, I will be doing some investigating on these and will hopefully be adding some before the next post :) Thanks again, L
