That's good B. Glad the PBT is not claiming to be the boss. Yet...

Yet is most likely the key word there, hope it doesn't start right away as the yellow is a little on the smaller side.

Looking great so far! Love the copper band, is it eating well?

Thanks.

Yeah he is almost constantly picking on the rocks and eats frozen as well.

So far so good, doesn't seem to care much for anything besides the algae in the tank and nori which is somewhat worrisome.

Nice cbb. Mine took about 4 months before it ate frozen. But I had a lot of aptasia and pods. And worms. Now he eats more mysis than the new tang I just got. Tank looks good.

Thanks Lindsey. He started eating frozen after about a week, he ate since mysis at the Critter before I took him home. I also had/have an Aiptasia problem. One of my absolute favorite fish.

Yup. Good deal. Mine won't hardly touch the lrs. Just loves his mysis. Was one of my favs too and I'm glad I kept him. He is a little large for my tank. But a happily feeding cbb is a rare find. Mine love snap Tasha so much in used to keep feeder rocks in my sump for him. He would clean a fist sized rock in 20 seconds.

Get along fine with my new striated bristletooth tang. Let's my clowns push him around though.

He's somewhat timid but he won't back down either, none of the other fish seem to bother him much though. He is picky about the frozen but he does eat, I change it up between mysis, LRS and an Angel/Butterfly food.

I've had a lot of changes made to the Stealth 180 in the last month or so, lots of upgraded equipment.

I took the plunge and got a big boy skimmer and I am now running an ATB Elegance 200 Pro Skimmer. I have moved on from the Ecotech Vortech pumps and I am all Tunze with a small Jebao added in, with two 6105 and a 6208 wave box with a Jebao WP25 behind the rocks to keep things stirring. I have also upgraded (out of necessity really) to a Reef Keeper Elite with three PC4's I am just hoping DA does right and takes care of the issue which forced my hand. There are also new fish and coral I hope to get some good pictures of soon. I have also cleaned up some of the wiring inside of the stand with a little bit more to do yet but it's looking pretty clean down there!
