I thought I lost this guy. I had him in my sump trying to get him to reattach to a rock. I checked the next day and the bowl with him and the rock only had the rock. A few days later I finally saw him in the middle of some frags in the display! He made it through the sump baffles, into the return pump and through the return to the display. I couldn't believe it!

For the last seven or eight months my clowns have been spawning regularly. This started after they had settled into my 165g after moving them over a couple months earlier. They are Ocellaris clowns and are about five years old. Here's a pic of what they laid yesterday.

Thanks David! I seen the other two frags. Not sure if one was held for you, but they both looked good!

No. I've thought about it. Maybe that'll be the next project after I get the sump and rock work redone!

Yeah they're good size. The one above is about an inch tall.

Real deal Magicians. They were under LEDs for a few weeks and lost their green sparkle in the middle. They're coloring back up now under T5.

Back in February I started the build on my 40 Breeder Frag Tank with the help of Michael (mp2012). I will use this thread to update this tank along with my 165g. This build took us a few months as we worked on it when time and funds allowed.
Mid February we built and painted the frame.
First part of March we cut the drain and return in the glass and installed the Glass Holes overflow and return kits.
Late March we skinned and trimmed the stand.
First part of April we painted the outside black and finished painting the inside white.
Shelby supervised the building of the 20 long sump.
On April 28th I moved it into the house and setup the basics. The cycle officially started the following day.
And this is an FTS from June 10th.
