Origami May 6, 2014 May 6, 2014 Looking good, Isaac. My yellow tang (my first fish) is one reason that I've never added a purple tang, despite my really liking their look. That, and the fact that I have 4 tangs in the tank already (yellow, powder blue, sailfin, and scopas).
YHSublime May 6, 2014 Author May 6, 2014 Looking good, Isaac. My yellow tang (my first fish) is one reason that I've never added a purple tang, despite my really liking their look. That, and the fact that I have 4 tangs in the tank already (yellow, powder blue, sailfin, and scopas). Thanks! I really like my yellow. It's doing all it can to stay on top. I'm ready to pull either one, but at 3 weeks of being together, it seems they may have worked it out, at least to the point of cohabitation. You always hear the purples being the aggressive fish, but at introduction, all my fish showed aggression towards him. In a month I can guarantee he will run the show, I think they recognize that! I have a hippo, but my tang dream slowly faded with realizing my tank is really to small for all the ones I would like to keep.
YHSublime May 6, 2014 Author May 6, 2014 How many fish do you have in your system now? 1 Yellow Tang 1 Purple Tang 1 Hippo Tang 1 Copperband Butterly 1 Melanurus Wrasse 1 Mystery Wrasse 3 Stocky Anthias 2 Percula Clowns A grand total of 11 at the moment.
monkiboy May 6, 2014 May 6, 2014 How many fish do you have in your system now? yeah, how many fish do you have? doesn't seem like a lot. i want to see more!
YHSublime May 6, 2014 Author May 6, 2014 yeah, how many fish do you have? doesn't seem like a lot. i want to see more! Haha, 11! Plus one more lonely anthias coming this weekend! More fish?! What suggestions do you have?! My current stock list is already listed above, keeping compatibility in mind, I'd love to see what you suggest. Do you think I can add an Achilles !?! 11 at the moment, you planning to be getting more? Just one Anthias that I've already bought, but I don't have plans for more. See above, open to suggestions!
Sharkey18 May 6, 2014 May 6, 2014 I vote that you get rid of the large monti. It's a bit raggedy looking and doesn't go with the sleek crazy brilliance of the rest of the tank. Just do it. You won't regret it. You can always keep the torch.
YHSublime May 6, 2014 Author May 6, 2014 Another stocky anthias? You need at least one goby. I do have a lonely pistol shrimp. I had a goby when I started. Grumpy pants ended up disappearing. Never found a thing. I vote that you get rid of the large monti. It's a bit raggedy looking and doesn't go with the sleek crazy brilliance of the rest of the tank. Just do it. You won't regret it. You can always keep the torch. Hmmmm ok, I can dig it. My only concern is the LTA that has nestled inside it has made it home, I mean it's rooted up inside that red monti. I think if it goes, so does the LTA. I would also like to have something in place to put there before I take it out. I have a lot of benificial aspects to that rock the monti is on. It's old, it's established, there are tons of sea stars, and sponges all over it, and who knows what else. I pretend to be not attached to things, but I secretly (or not so secretly) am.
brad908 May 7, 2014 May 7, 2014 I gotta go to one of our data centers in Ashburn in the beginning of June, definitely need to swing by a check out the tank. Gonna stay in DC for the weekend.

DuffyGeos May 9, 2014 May 9, 2014 More Fish! More Fish! More Fish! We want more fish! Tank is looking great! Sounds like the dosing is maybe helping with some growth?
YHSublime May 9, 2014 Author May 9, 2014 More Fish! More Fish! More Fish! We want more fish! Tank is looking great! Sounds like the dosing is maybe helping with some growth? Yeah, it's helping some. It's also STN/RTN'ing some of my pieces closer to the return. Everything else looks awesome though, so you've gotta pay to play. Still working out the fish situation, slow and steady is the plan.

BowieReefer84 May 9, 2014 May 9, 2014 Maybe some cardinal fish of some sort. Tank is looking really nice. Love the colors.
YHSublime May 13, 2014 Author May 13, 2014 Maybe some cardinal fish of some sort. Tank is looking really nice. Love the colors. Thank you! It's getting there. I need to settle down and stop putting things in there. Took some time this weekend to add some swag to my new DIY sump stand: The trim adds class, the handles I'm not crazy about, but they are a cinch getting on and off. Magnets hold it in the back.
YHSublime May 13, 2014 Author May 13, 2014 In addition, I have just gone back over my photos from April 10th, and I'm seeing RAPID growth. I'll have to do some comparison shots tomorrow. It's phenomenal, and the only change I made was dosing!
DuffyGeos May 13, 2014 May 13, 2014 In addition, I have just gone back over my photos from April 10th, and I'm seeing RAPID growth. I'll have to do some comparison shots tomorrow. It's phenomenal, and the only change I made was dosing! That is what the juice will do! I noticed the same thing when I started dosing. My tank also went from a 15g to 16g...just amazing! Like the clean look in the corner with the doors, handles and trim. Very well done. I bet the little lady is also very happy!
smallreef May 13, 2014 May 13, 2014 Love that you covered the sump! Oh and I vote for a flasher wrasse trio of females and 1 male or super male!

Like the clean look in the corner with the doors, handles and trim. Very well done. I bet the little lady is also very happy! It's hard when you see it everyday to actually see, see it, ya know!? Thanks for the feedback. The lady is happy, she's been asking for a long time for me to clean it up a bit. Love that you covered the sump! Oh and I vote for a flasher wrasse trio of females and 1 male or super male! Thanks! Only took a year! I'm still burned by my last trio passing. Oh well, better in qt than my dt I always say. That will be a nice addition, I like that vote!
YHSublime May 13, 2014 Author May 13, 2014 You thinking of making a new canopy top to cover both tanks? That's a really cool idea! I was thinking about making another canopy, but not one. The lady really likes the look of the stand and canopy, which is why I still have both, however, she's very quickly learning that every frame can be covered, and look nice. I think I will probably make something to match the hood for the left hand side, except black, with the same trim. Classing it up one step at a time.
YHSublime May 15, 2014 Author May 15, 2014 Looks awesome. Thanks! You can imagine the lady is pretty happy with it! So here are some updated pictures as promised! As always, FTS: Red Dragon (3/26) Red Dragon (4/10) Red Dragon Today (5/14) Red Dragon from the top (Today) Dr. Macs Blue (4/10) From the top today Hulk 12/13/13 Hulk and Cali Tort (today) Bird Of Paradise (4/10) bad azz (3/26) Badd Azz (4/10) Bad Azz Acro today The bad azz is encrusting onto the rock I leaned it on, and fast, hard to see from those growth comparison shots.
