DCG1286
Update!

New baby Powder Blue Tang!!!

I have been eyeing this little beauty for over a month now at the LFS ... he looked kinda thin when I first saw him ... but every time I went in he was still there ... while the larger ones either sold or started to deteriorate ... he was eating everything from mysis to big sheets of nori. He was getting fatter each time I went. So last night I decided to bring him home!!! YAY!!! smile.gif

Yeah ... I can't wait for him to stop moving long enough to get a clear shot ... lol ... He is only 2-2 1/2" at most ... He is really small compared to most of the Powder Blues I have seen (and not emaciated). laugh.gif

Thanks Adam!!! I have always been very fond of the PBT since I was a kid ... never kept one until taking a stab at one sometime last year when I had my 90G up and running ... the fish unfortunately succumbed to some disease ... although it was eating right up until the point it died. Fingers crossed on this one ... the fish is very healthy ... has no competition for food other then the Wrasses ... which he seems to have no problem shoving out of his way. So we will see! smile.gif

Dave Ae we still on for tomorrow? Congrats on the new fishy !!!!!

Do you use any bleach, or just warm water? How long do you let them dry afterward?

I think I need to do something about mine. I tried rinsing them in the sink, but that seemed to only help for a couple of days.
DCG1286
THanks everyone.

No macros yet ... camera battery went out ... recharging it now! smile.gif

Getting a GIGANTIC Orange Monti cap tonight ... found someone that needs it out of their tank ... and for the price I am paying ... WELL worth it! It will fill in the tank nicely!

Beautiful FTS!! biggrin.gif

The tank looks fantastic, can't wait to see the new cap! cool.gif

not macro camera shots, lol.

and yeah, uber-monti is gonna be awesome.

Sounds awesome! I really like large caps. happy.gif

Tank really looks fantastic!!! Really like all of the mini-SPS colonies that you have in there. Looks like you still have plenty of space for new additions and for growth.

The only suggestion that I have, and this is personal preference, is to throw either a black or dark blue background on the back of the tank. Really just makes those beautiful pieces POP and gives the tank contrast.

Besides that, you have an amazing reef in the making. smile.gif

Thanks Adam! I fully agree with the back round ... I think I threw away the piece I had from before during the move ... I think I will put that on my to do list for today!!! smile.gif
