Thanks Reef Able and thanks for following along!

I was torn between those 2 tanks as well.

In the end, I had the space for the extra depth. It helps a lot wit aquascaping.

Good luck and can’t wait to follow your build!
Thanks Mike...for now i have another build thread going on with my Lagoon50 have a look when you have some time...i am planning to add 525 next year...

Not great pic of the coral beauty as it won’t stay still!

Watch that Coral Beauty closely.... They like fleshy things :)
The coral beauty died last night :(

It arrived in great shape, cruised and grazed since I put it in Friday at noon.

I watched it swim over to its "spot", then it just stayed there and didn't move for a couple minutes, then it just sank to the bottom, dead?

No signs or symptoms or anything, it was very active and was not being picked on by anyone?

I'm stumped.

I'm sorry to hear that. :(

No way to know for sure without a necropsy, but I would suspect an internal gram negative bacterial infection.

I have never heard of that ?

Time to do some research.

Thanks Brew12.

Anticipation is an awesome feeling!
