Golden Indo torch, elegance and lobo from the SOS live sale.

Rip Mr crab, you will not be forgotten.. until you are replaced. Lol

Hope to get some more nice stuff on the 30th!

The Grinch

Long time, no post.. not much has changed in the past 3 months. Stuff has grown more and I thought I was going to have to buy a new skimmer!

Skimmer intake got real clogged and pump stopped working. Cleaned it all out and it started back up. So, I cleaned the foam pre-filter and put a foam pre-filter behind the overflow section. Working good now.

ATO pump has started making an odd grinding noise last week.. need to send it back.

Moved some frags from the rack to the wall.
Current frag rack

Torch has 2 big heads now and looks great flowing in the current.

14k

Elegance approaching 8"

Really pretty 14k multi-coral close-up

Good view of the Rbta's foot stretched out - how it always is.

FTS

Sad day...

Rest in peace Largo

Fond memories.
From hand collection in Key Largo, riding in a bucket for 15 hours back to Virginia in the trunk of my friends Challenger, and 2 happy years living in my bedroom.

Funny how a bait fish I collected for free could end up being my favorite fish.

Here's the most recent FTS from last weekend with Largo front and center ready for dinner.

Sorry to hear about your loss. I hate losing fish.

I love this tank. May Largo haunt it forever.

Thanks, saltyfilmfolks!

I feel a little better about Largo's passing after doing some research and determining their lifespan being only about 2-3 years and I couldn't find anything wrong with the tank; no disease, etc.

I sure hope he does haunt it! Such a neat and uncommon fish for the hobby.

I went out the other day to the LFS and found a new clown for the rbta.

Tank has been clownless for about the past 6mo.

Meet Clementine - reg. Occelaris

Added him straight to the bubble tip and it hosted him right away.
This is the first nem the fish has ever seen and took right to it!
