I forgot to upload these two. I guess the first will have to do as a FTS for now.

Ordered me a (M) Ventralis Anthia, Cook Islands. It should look like this:

Fish arrived fine but is hiding so can't get a pic. On another note, upgrading soon! Talked my wife into getting a bigger tank. I was looking at the Cadlights Versa 68G and think it may fit my idea of the new tank. I would only have to get new lights to fit the length; everything else will easily transfer over. I wanted bigger but since I am on the second floor of an apartment, it just isn't possible.

I kind want to do something new with this tank while transferring my old system corals and equipment over. I want to go skimmerless. I am thinking of doing a refugium or doing a sump full of the marinepure 8x8x4 blocks.

Update:

-The male ventralis Anthia is doing great and eating Reef Nutrition Tisbe pods. He is still afraid of me though but he is starting to come around. I had to setup my camera and take an image remotely:

-My black and white colonial tunicate has started to perish (turning completely black) after I placed some Seachem Matrix Carbon into my filter sock. My acans have shriveled in as well. I believe the carbon has been grinded to an extent and it is floating in my tank which is affecting some of my corals.

My sea hare doesn't knock anything over. It simply squeezes between corals or gently climb over them without harming them to consume algae. That is the reason why I chose it over snails and it is my sole cleanup crew. Thanks!

Aren't you afraid the sea hare will get suck into the power head, etc... You have an expensive taste for corals btw

Nice looking tank.

Thanks! The seahares were traded a long time ago once they completed their job. There weren't any issues with them getting sucked into the overflow or the powerhead mainly due to their size and the particular circulation pumps I had.
