Today I decided it was time to remove the Zoa's and Pulsing xenia this would allow more SPS and no chance of a potential overtake of the pulsing coral which left me with this.

A bit of a void and not really much space to attach anything and with that nice pillar sticking up I had an idea so of the LFS I went and picked up a shelf and it fitted nicely and it well supported and bonded in place.

The brightness of it will settle down as it matures.

Now I then thought there was no point in having all that extra SPS real estate and not using it so added a few pieces to it

All in all I'm happy with how it turned out

2 new editions got added last night a Jewel Tang and a Mystery Wrass the only fish that showed any agression was the Kole this has now stopped and they have both settled and feeding here is a couple of pictures.


The jewel Tang

The Mystery Wrass

What with my anenome splitting and both parts moving around and one chalice coral got battered to death by its sting sadly I decided to remove them as I could potentially loose ££££ in corals should they go walking one end to the other.

This meant breaking down the scape again !! To get them out but I'm happy with how it has turned out.

This is it now

This month's practice fish keeping magazine

I'm happy with the feature they done on me

Just had a look back and I changed the tank over to the salty side 13 months ago and it has come a long way in that time here is 2 pictures for comparison.

At the beginning 13 months ago

A picture taken tonight.

A little update.

I see an orange shoulder tang a couple of weeks back for sale from a tank that was being broken down so went to view it and tonight I picked it up and is a lovely healthy fish as well as an urchin.

It has settled in well and there has been no real aggression from any of the other tangs. I has muched on pellet and frozen so seems happy enough.

It was in a 3ft tank so I'm sure it will be happy of the extra swimming space and the brother inlaw will move it upto his 8x3x2 should it get to big for mine so it has a good home secured for it even if it does outgrow my 6ft

Been a while so a few upto date pictures

Hope you enjoy

Having another day of work would be rude not to visit another LFS and this time I come away with a red Gonipora and another acan colony bottom left in first picture not fully out yet.

I've annoyed the one on left when I moved it to get red one in


All other corals have settled well and managed to get a decent picture of my mystery wrass had him about a year but hard to get a picture of him as he so quick

I read this whole thread and I'm happy you were honest about your timeline man. Through the mishaps and all. Tank looks awesome!

 

[Marty.h]

Thanks it has been a challenge but that is now all behind and all been worth it

Thanks for the kind comments

Looks like I've got into Practical Fish Keeping Magazine again this month's edition

 

[Marty.h]

Today having a day of work it was time to pull out some of the SPS to allow more room for LPS.

I've had a bit of a move round with some of the LPS but will add some more after Christmas to fill the gaps.

The Gonipora are loving it and the Clowns also loving them

Nice tank, Someone should of told you in the beginning slow and steady wins the race. Would of saved you a few $K. Looks like your winning now.
