SkullV's Aquarium Adventures

Thanks guys, and yeah Mai those look like blue steel. I have some of those. These Panama Blues are weird. Like I said, there are three distinctly different blue polyps on the rock.

I think I'm going to order a Bangaii cardinal for the fuge. I want to put the Hector's goby down there but I don't think I can catch him without pulling the rock out of the tank. After doing that yesterday it isn't happening again until I move and it gets broken down.

What kind of green/yellowish wrasse is that?

Standard green coris. He'll outgrow this tank in a year or 2 but by then he'll have long since passed to a new owner.

Tank coming together really nice Ted, looks like everything is healthy and thriving.

Thanks Mark! I hope your new build is coming along as well. This is about it for the tank now, room for another frag, MAYBE 2 if I move the Setosa to a little lower lit area.

I'm thinking a nice pink lemonade and maybe an Oregon Tort depending on how blue this Hawkins ends up. Might also swap out the Aussie Shortcake I got from Aquapros for an ORA piece or maybe the DFS piece.

Very nice Ted. Your fuge looks better than some people's display. I gotta get a piece of that Lime In The Sky.

Decided to go with the same tank (got another from Rich) drilled differently for after the move. It's a pain drilling this thin glass but I'm 2/2 on it now!
