Tangs looking happy :)

Have you thought about putting a few big PVC elbows in there?

The Fowleri had me worried a few days ago...Thought he was done for lying on the bottom refusing to swim. Pulled him and gave him a peroxide bath then put him in my 50 gallon QT. After the bath he started swimming around again.

I was lazy and just used copper ;)

Did copper for a long time...but some fish are way to sensitive...also this seems faster...as you can get your fish Qted in 15 days. Still getting use to this method....I do have a 50 gallon Qt running the garage also that the Fowleri found himself in for a few days.

Never tried it on leopard wrasses so just skipped them...

Did do it on a CBB and Achilles / Achilles Hybrid. Also the GP and Bandit angels, not super sensitive but pricey.

Couldn't get a Hawaiian Cleaner Wrasse through copper, but that's a different story.

Achilles died during QT...not sure why or what happened.
Fowleri and Tomini are in the display now. Had to put the Grouper in the sumps Fuge as he was beating up the Tomini.

Still working on the tank and plan on doing more reviews. Any equipment listed in my build you would like to see reviewed?

Found a beautiful Quoyi Parrotfish (Scarus quoyi) and added him to the tank.

Still working on stuff...haven't forgot about the thread. Some stuff has been great and some not so much. Berghia Nudibranchs seem to have done nothing after putting 20 in the tank over a 45 days ago. Still holding off my final impressions on this. They recommended 25 be added at once but the cost is so high on these.
18 x Medium Berghia (Medium Berghia) = $305.82 + 1 Free for every 9
3 x Berghia Eggs (Berghia Eggs) = $15.00

The gentlemen said that it may take longer.
