42 Bow Reef/ 40 Xtra High FOWLR

[ThatGuy]

Figured I would start a new one since the 135 is down and everything was put into the 42 aside from some rock that went into the 40.

Yellow Clown Goby took up residence in my brain coral(thanks jgraz)

Dartfish (hardest fish to take a pic of, had to take this at a distance so they wouldn't hide)

I'm sure in time. It grew great for me in the beginning, then a few years I couldn't keep it alive and now it grows again.

Starting to get some extension from my goniopora.

Picked this up from my LFS. It was labeled as a torch but I figured it was a goofy looking frog spawn. Did a little more looking into and put it on another site and they called it a octospawn(type of frogspawn). Pretty cool either way.

So the eel jumped out the tank again and I didn't find it in time so I'm going a different direction with the 40 pillar. I was thinking of seahorses but its the babies tank and she doesn't want them because I would have to take out the stiped damsel. I was thinking of possibly doing a mostly invert tank but I'm worried the monster ChocChip star will eat them. Was at the LFS and seen a purple tip condy anemone for about $6 but I didn't want the star to just chow down. Anybody know if the star would leave it alone or just eat it?

On another note. I got bored and redid the aquascape from a pile of rocks to 2 arch way/tunnels.

Picked up a purple tip condy nem for the non coral tank. Looks pretty cool. The only wierd thing was the damsel didn't seem to thrilled because it kept smacking it with its tail, but then again it also attacks the magnetic glass cleaner any time it moves.

How far from the top does a monti need to be? I have a monti on a frag rack but want to place it in a permanant spot in my tank. The highest point is about 10" from the top. My other thought was to somehow attach it to the back glass(no idea how) and let it grow out that way.

On the plus side I started using reef roids(just mixing it up and putting it in the water column). It looks like all the corals are loving it. The half dead red chalace is puffy and tissue is growning back, half dead bubble is also inflating much more as well. So far this stuff has impressed me.

Picked up a trio of gold striped cardinals.

Had alittle mishap moving some rocks around. This is the end result of the mishap. LOL. Hopefully they make it. There was barely any bone there so I puddied it to a piece of rubble rock.
