Really nice tank. Wow.
what kind of wrasse is that, he is awesome.
Tank is looking good, Not sure if you ever sold the car or where out at hyperfest but still need to see you out at the track one day
I think one's a radiant and one's a flasher. Not positive though.

Nice looking tank! Just wondering, what is that new fish in the first picture?
-
I put aluminum foil over my box. It seems to have worked so far.
-
-Insert jaw drop here-
That's a looot of water. Can't wait to see what it looks like when it's all done.

Some update pics with some frags from the spring meeting..

Thanks everyone, it's good to know I'm not killing it. I'm not sure if it's the flow as I've moved the powerheads and it didn't change anything. The hand is about three quarters way up and I have 4 T-5 bulbs. I think the last time they were changed was February or March.

So this was the first thing we put in the tank, maybe in October or November. Lately though, it's been kind of drooping over and it looks like its foot is turning brownish. We called the place we bought it from and they said that it's dying. But most of its polyps are still out.
Ammonia, nitrate, phosphates, and nitrite are all 0. pH is 8.4, calcium is 450, and Alk is about 8 dkH

This is what I'm using over my 20g tank, the 24 inch version. I like it cause it has the moonlights and timer built in.

+1 to this fixture I have it on my 46 BF and love it. Not to mention the customer service is really great. And I think they have it for 30"
-
Ohhh ok thanks haha. Do you have any leathers in the tank?
-
PE...potential energy? Haha, sorry, still just a little new at the whole acronym thing.

I like them, I just don't want to have to take care of its tank.

So, having the eggcrate I thought that would be the end of my fish-jumping problems. I was wrong. This morning I found the flasher wrasse that was lying on the floor, stone dead.
He somehow must have gotten through the eggcrate. Now I am faced with another dilemma: What fish is next? Obviously it would have to be somewhat reefsafe, preferably not a big jumper, small enough to fit in a 46BF, and aggressive enough not to get beat up by the six-line. -
Nice tank, and of course, nice cause.
-
+1 to him just hiding because of the new addition. I have a flasher and a six-line wrasse, the flasher hides under a brain coral at night, and I have no idea where the six-line goes. The six-line went into hiding for a few days after I added the flasher, so that's just what I would guess.

Macroalgae...?

I think tangs generally need the longer tanks, like 48"+. And personally I just like the longer tanks.
-
That's pretty cool (and tragic) about the tang. Always cool to see nature working. Nice looking tank!
-
Looking nice! It'd look even better with some fishies
-
It sounds like you have a lot of fish (and are planning more) in a very young tank.
5 weeks in is a really short amount of time. I would wait a few more weeks to see how things go before adding any more livestock.
I ran my new 120 for two months before adding any livestock. Overkill, maybe, but I was sure the tank could handle the livestock once I started adding it. You are still in the algae succession phase. Be careful about pushing too fast.

+1 I waited a few months in the 46 BF before adding anything besides a few snails and I don't regret it. Better safe and boring than quick and crashing.
-
Everytime I add new corals (especially zoos) I think about this and what that guy Steve went thru. I double up on gloves, and I got this darn habit of rinsing my mouth out with Mouthwash when I'm done. It's almost like a tic...lol
Yea, I spend almost 10 minutes washing out my mouth whenever I have to restart the siphon on on the U-tube...
Hope you feel better!

Finally got some more pictures of everybody:
The Royal Gramma finally showing his face.
The Flasher Wrasse
Thought the climbing crab picture was pretty cool.

Alright, I'll give it a shot.

Thanks for the advice so far.
Do anemones move when they want to split? Because this morning that's what it looks like:
(The Wrasses and gramma picked now to be photogenic)I was planning on doing a weekly water change today. If the anemone is splitting, is it safe to carry through with this?

+1 to that I have a few asterinas in my tank and my 6-line generally leaves them alone. That coupled with the fact they're one of the meaner fish, I'd go with another wrasse rather than a 6-line IMO.
