Tricky trying to capture colors without a filter. I turned up the white light for the photos.

Misty (was Mr. T, but she's a girl) and Archy. I've wanted an Achilles tang for years.

Clowns in their home. The big one has a lucky fin. My daughter looked at a tank full of clowns in the store and said "That one's Nemo. These were the only survivors of both the great tank failure and Velvet.

The copperband made it! We named him Westly (I'll most likely kill you in the morning).

Tommy. Real original with that name.

Added the purple tang. It was like WWE Raw for a little while. The purple went after the Achilles and then the Achilles and Sohal ganged up on the purple. Things settle down as I put even more food in and they are all tolerating each other. The Naso gives zero cares. She just keep swimming along.
 
Things got a bit crazy. The Purple and the the Achilles got ich, so I went fallow, again. This time I did what I should have done the first time and just did the full 76 day fallow. I just put the fish back in the tank yesterday.

This hobby can be brutal and I am a much more responsible reefer now.

Such an awesome combination of fish. How are they doing after reintroducing them to the DT?
 
Lots of tears. The purple, Achilles and Sohal did not survive the extended QT. The survivors were the big naso tang, the tomini tang, lemon peel, niger trigger and of course, the immortal clowns. I have since added a sailfin tang and have a blue hippo, an engineer goby, an emperor angel and a bellus angle in QT.

The corals are doing pretty well. Only one stick died. Most of the rest are doing very well.
 
Checking back in. Fish are happy and healthy, as are most of the corals. Some corals are just jerks, though.
