Mj's hopefully final build 180gal reef

So far so good. Fuge is doing good just redid and mounted moonlights . Fish r looking good blonde naso even eats pellets this time blue face angel is eating good so is xmas wrasse and i think cleaner wrasse even eats frozen. No issues since the dj switch fail got a refund on that and just using a power strip. Working on doors still gotta sand em and paint em wood puttied all the defects . Should look good when done

And the new blonde naso eats pellets so does the new dory and blueface angel hell even the cleaner wrasse eats em lol only dam fish that wont is the leopard wrasse eats only frozen and lettuce go figure
 
Man build is finally 100 percent done . I was able to drill one my 20 gal tanks last night hook up a canister filter and hob a reef keeper and filled it with sand and my chalices and shrooms plus the snowflake eel i forgot i had still lol moved to my guest bedroom so i can keep eye on it better . Idk if u guys remember my cloud berry chalice i killed a while back but i keep plug wet and dam if it did start growing back i mean its three tiny spots but u can see the red and gold lol so i didnt lose it completely lol. Scoreeeee spent all day cleaning the dust out of house and makeing it a home again instead of work shop lol . Mission accomplished
 
Well once again im being defeated by a naso tang the last two i thought would surely make it but yesterday eating like pig and swimming around today sunken belly and just staying in one spot goes after pellets but spits em out tried mysis with meds for internals but wouldnt even go after em which he usually eats like candy. His belly has been full since i got him and his poop has been normal it ate everything pellets mysis brine alage u name it . I swear naso tangs just dont like me
 
Well i been watching this thing poop for a week always been normal poop now just saw it poop and white not stringy but white sob any way treated tank with prazi maybe has a chance but who knows hes not laying on ground or breathing bad yet just not eating and not swimming around like use to
