It should look familiar Anthony, yours is just like mine. You know, you're lucky you have me around to figure all this stuff out just so you can copy it:p With the tank already against the wall it was going to be tough to get the boards in the back of the stand. It was just easier this way and I like easier a lot.

Thanks Tony! I'm a pretty patient person so this is pretty easy. It will be nice to see some corals in there, not just white rock.

So I stopped in at Aquatic Obsession today to pick up some of those nice Palys Darren posted. Instead of them I left with a teeny tiny little Tailspot Blenny. It's the Blenny I was hoping to get in that tank and when I saw that one I had to get it! He's doing an awesome job on all the algae/diatoms that is growing in there now. So freakin' cute!!!

I also moved 5 of my zs and ps last Friday so it's a little more colorful now! They aren't attached yet, I want to cut some polyps off before I place them for good. Want to have some for our frag tank....if Cj ever gets it going.

Ha! The 120 is "supposed" to be Jane's Puffer tank. We have a 75 that he wants to use for the frag tank..... I think he may have a problem. Oh yeah, let's not forget the 20l that he is going to put where my tank is now. He wants it as an NPS tank. Yup, definitely a problem.

Thanks George. Not too much to see right now besides brown diatom-covered rocks. The new Blenny (who Cj has named Biscuit) is really tiny and is a bit shy still. He's decided that his spot is under my Darth Maul Palys and he's maybe as long as 2 polyps next to each other, maybe an inch and a half.

Buuuuut since the masses are clamoring, I will snap a pic tomorrow.

Tail Spots are awesome. They're a smaller Blenny too so I like that. As for the Goby, don't do it! See the sand under him? It's very fine sand. Looks like crushed coral next to him. He is tiny, but he's awesome.

Thanks Bax! I have some zoos and Palys in there now. I wanted to frag them up a bit before I make them permanent. I was thinking I will start moving more this week. Maybe try and catch a fish or 2 along the way too. Maybe clowns first. I'm soooo nervous to move the Naoko Wrasse. I have a feeling he's going to ich up again. I have my reef cleaners order coming sometime this week too. It's all coming along well I think!

Wow, Bisquit is a cool looking lil bugger! The Eibli looks healthy and happy too.

The goby is super cool. I love unique looking fish like that. Hope you do get to see him occasionally! Take pics whenever you can. ;)

Ah, another tank update. I found a $180, otherwise known as a Naoko Fairy Wrasse, laying behind the tank when I got home today. Crispy as crispy can be. Must have found the one little hole in the cover.... just my luck..... Why am I doing this again?
