Jason,

 

Awesome tank I just caught up with it. I don't know if anyone answered you about fuge or not but I thought I would show you mine anyway. I have a 72g Bow and my fuge is a 20g tall. I've changed a couple of things since this pic was taken but not much. I keep my light on 24/7.

Wow Ziggy! Everything looks so nice and clean!

 

Unlike my skimmer/fuge tubs and there is a 100g container that is my sump on the other side of these tubs.

I need to take another pic of mine, it's all cleaned up too. This was right after I replaced the fuge tub. What I thought would be an hour job took 8 hours. Isn't that the way though? :lol2:

Added some neon green candy cane coral, and 2 Acans. Keeping my fingers crossed for it to all go well.

In one 8 inch section of the tank my corals are having an issue... the hammer coral, GSP, and leather are shrinking/regressing. Here's the strange thing there is an Acan in th area that seems to be doing alright. Else where in the tank. I hvae rics, candy cane, green leather, mushrooms, and xenia that are doing fine. any clue on what givesx

Tank is back up, sans about 30lbs of lr. I lost most of my corals in the move though...

Ok so far the death toll is:

Brown leather (got it 3 meetings ago freebie from frag work shop out of Jamesbuf's tank)

Hammer coral (2 full heads and had two new ones sprouting from nhreman)

Ric (out of Jamesbuf's tank)

Orange crush acan (out of dbarco's tank, though I think it was pretty gone before the move)

 

Unlikely ones that made it:

Neon Green candy cane

Rare Green/Blue/Pink hairy mushroom

Peppermint Acan

 

All fish made it YAY! and so did all the inverts I can see, except the smashed urchin, the new tank photos will be up with in the next week

What caused your death toll? Was it the tap water? :)

I added a lawnmower/algae blenny today! Wooo the lion doesn't seem to mind, as a matter a fact as we speak the blenny is perched about 3 inches above the lions head, straight chillin :biggrin:

Ok so half of these photos are like 6 months old ( I no longer have my lion fish :cry: )

Jason, finally came across this thread and was so excited as I read along... like many great stories though, it included a bit of tragedy. Very sorry to hear about your p. volitan. :cry: If you're up for it, please keep us updated on what you decide to do.

 

Regarding the anemone problem you had, I wonder if the vertical space was just too small. This is coming from a complete moron on inverts, lighting, and sw generally, but if the anemones required a lot of light, they might have been competing for the "top spot" on your live rock... downside of the column is that there wasn't a lot of prime real estate near the light sources. If they just couldn't share that space, well... :why:

Wow Your RBTA looks awesome. Mine isn't as deep red but it is getting there.

 

That is one awesome mushroom. Where did you get it?

Well I went to the midnight madness and it was well well well worth it. I picked up a lot of frags and olny lost one (wasn't so hot when I bought it shouldn't have, oh well)

 

I'll post up pics soon!

 

First though I was wondering if anyone else ran into the same problem I have. I was trying to place corals in my tank and one of the nicest places is near my anemone where my clowns host and when I started gluing there my clowns began taking them out. I'd glue down a frag and then go to prep another and they'd knock a frag off a rock either with their teeth or their tails,
