Thanks man! Looking to add a fish tomorrow. We'll see what I find. Also transplanting one more zoa colony from the 75.

 

[BigBarnacles]

Did a water change in preparation for tomorrow's possible addition.

The nuvo's first resident, a purple firefish (yet to be named). He's been out a few times and ate already. Not so much a pic of him as it is of the general scape and lighting.

 

[BigBarnacles]

Had to sneak a pic of him. He's coming out more but still a bit shy.

Nice looking fish.

Purple Firefish doing good. He's not as skittish as he used to be. Best pic of him yet. Will be picking up his new tank mate Tuesday and adding a coral or two.

I just might. Need to find another tiny one. This guy is real small. I'd say about 1/4 inch and smaller than the width of a pencil. Just a baby.

Here we go. Stopped at Coral Compulsion and grabbed another nice Rainbow Ricordea, 3 Acan Lord polyps, a single Acan polyp, a nice zoa colony (never can remember their names), and a neon frogspawn. The layout isn't necessarily final, but it's a start.

(Tiger Goby photobombed me on this one)

Looking awesome bro! I really wish I would have picked up one of those green acans and a torch today!
