Tank update...

[BIGBIRD123]

I figure I'd give everybody and update about my tank.



The problems and losses were caused by heat and lack of oxygen. That caused an almost total wipe-out of my SPS. All that lived was a small colony of Granulosa and three frags. Having decided that it wasn't a water issue, I have began the re-stocking of my tank. Thanks to the Amazing Guys at CB Pets, the new SPS colonies are doing nicely. I can't wait till the next acro order...

Well, this weekend I began the addition of new fish. Hold you tongue Tang Police. I now have the following Tangs: Powder Blue, Lavender, Purple, Orange Shoulder,Yellow and Yellow-fin. I also have a Flame Hawk, Fairy Wrasse and Christmas Wrasse. These new habitants feel at home with my mated pair of Onyx Clowns. I will post pix soon.

How is that skimmer working?

[BIGBIRD123]

Didn't get to hook it up because I need a feed pump. Plus the meeting Sun and having to drive back to Dallas after the meeting. I now have a pump and will have it hooked-up this WE.

on a note as I am informed by my wife...the Yellow-fin Tang, the Flame Hawk (now named Tony)and the Christmas wrasse were purchased by my wife in my absence..."because she loves me and I don't buy her roses"...

I don't know what the first pic is but I love the look of it. It's about 7" tall and 5.5" wide. What you think the 2nd coral is? It's looks like an Austera or some kind of tort.

Looking good. I am glad you were able to bounce back. Are you taking any precautions not to run out of Oxygen this time around? I am just curious what the solution might be.

Steve, my guess is austera as well. That table is insane! I wonder what colors its going to get..

[hobogato]

What actually happened was that when I moved the tank to SA, I bagged all the corals but didn't allow for extended time in the bags. I didn't put any extra oxygen in the bags, so they were oxygen-deprived for 24 hrs along with the 95 degree heat.

What you guys think the first coral is?
