Great pictures dude! That Powder blue will rule the roost until you remove him. They don't back down easy.
The rock is coloring up really nice also.:thumbup:

I too just read this whole thread...what a novel. Drama, suspense, action, love...

This was truly an emotional roller coaster ride.

slakker - thanks thats what i figure since i do see them all the times, just want to make sure as i am afraid of anything happeneing to my display

Craig Manoukian - thanks, i do feed them alot since they are always following me back and forth :)

Triggerjay - thanks, he's a tough one

JoJo - thanks

Frankie - thanks as i know challenge of the powder blue. yes he is very aggressive, but watching all his moves throughtout the day. with the size of my display and 5 tangs in there will give them plenty of play room. it will be another 3-4 months before adding any type of livestocks. still adding corals almost everyweek. i will not add tons of livestock to fill the display up just b/c its big. i will only focus mainly on SPS, some LPS and softies. i will enough fishes to feed my corals, also be removing all the mushrooms soon.


heels92 - thanks

tbittner - thanks, as i wanted to start a thread to document most of the process so i have something to look back on. its been a year since i started the project.

cheeks69 - thanks, feeding them 5 times daily and monster skimmer to care of the rest. thats a female, but i will pair up later. they says its always best to introduced males last.

Bart, your pretty talented. i would build yourself a Barr Beckett skimmer and sell that Deltec. Your going to require a more powerful skimmer in time. The pictures all look great dude!
