thanks!

 

Coral wise I plan to scrape off most the GSP and replace it with nicer corals of my choice (not sure yet what that is). The 2 rock areas below are a work in progress. One is going to be all acans and the other all zoos.

 

As far as fish go i plan to remove the Cardinals and replace them with a fire fish, antheas of some sort and another fish which my wife will pick.

Yes this is the tank! i bought it after they sold Aquaria Studio. The new owners sold it off. They have really great prices over there now and they are very nice.

 

The scape is killer.

 

 

The scape is pure sexiness!

 

Thank you both very much! i love the scape too

Also I found out where all my fish have been disappearing to, apparently what i thought was a large mushroom (noob) is actually a maxi mini carpet anemone. It has eaten 2 orange strip cardinals this week, a yasha and high fin goby. Before i owned the tank it ate 2 other yasha's and a baby black tang. I really want this dam thing out!

I know some great fish

tank is too small for anthias

I would only keep one firefish unless they're a bonded pair(IMO)

Assessor- with that kind of an overhang why not a deep blue or bright yellow upside down swimming fish?

Gobies/blennies great personalities

Fang blennies great and active

HTH

Thank you all for the compliments!

 

I still can't get the Maxi Mini off the rock, but i also just got disease stricken and all my fish are dead so not much left for him to eat. Except the one black clown, who is impossible to catch. I did buy a quarantine tank to medicate him in but still can't catch him because of that fancy rock work lol.

Thank you for the great suggestions. I do like all of the fish you suggested. I would really love a yellowtail fang blenny. I will update on my fish disease and on getting that nem out. I fear i may just have to find a way to kill the nem or just live with him :angry: he's already eaten so may nice fish, I'm really torn on what to do with him.

Try again in the morning before the lights turn on, it will be small and compact enough for you to get a better angle on its foot.

I have tried again at his foot in the morning with no luck. I really dont want to kill him but i feel i am running out of options.
