The 5 foot build… It’s happening!!

[i cant think]

Did some redecorating this morning. New Riptide corals had come in yesterday. Moved a larger Goni to the left side and put an artificial frag rock in its place with new Gonis . Couple pics from yesterday with other newbies.

One day my tank will look like that… one day.

New buddy? Welcome home the Lineatus Fairy! One of my many holy grails I’ve never ticked off until this tank. How many HG Wrasses have I now got in this tank?
Diamond Tail
Lineatus (although currently in Wrasse Observation until I get a Laboutei)
Kaleidos
Gold Nugget
Radiant
And eventually a Laboutei - maybe this week!

These colours… I’m still drooling over this fish and don’t think I ever won’t.
