Awesome! Spongebob looks small in the first pics but as seen in the FTS he's pretty big!

That cowfish reminds me of my bulldog. They both pull off being cute and ugly simultaneously :D

Great shots btw!! Is that a purple brain in the bottom right corner?

[Europhyllia]

he has such a beautiful color!

[justahobby]

His blue spots and eyes really show up in front of the blue background. He looks like he's whistling too

How did all of your stuff handle the move? Everything looking good?

Trust me Ace... I know it's recently moved.:what_smile:

I'm going to have to learn how you all do the multiple quotes.

Karin, the move almost went without any death. Let's see, the Galaxia is now half white. I think it was next to one of the BTAs. I don't remember, but a long weekend in the barrel and I lost half of it. The remainder seems well enough though. My cap (scrolling? got it from Giau) broke off one of those large ear pieces. I have a cap that has bright green or yellow dots on it, well three, now only two. Just not sure where the third went off too.

One of the BTAs hid the entire time and thus he/she/it is a really light pink right now.

So long story short, no real losses.

JustAHobby, its an open brain but the colors are like green and pink under our lighting. Got it from Texreefer over the summer.

I had hoped that Milly would take some left and right tank shots to show the dimensional aspects of the rockwork.

We got everything back in the tank on Monday and it looked terrible. I have some phone shots of that.
Tuesday after the doctor's visit I could do little more than look at it. The dust had settled and EVERYTHING was sitting on the sandbed. I never got a chance to use the pvc structure for the DIY live rock so it's in there now to provide a foundation for the rock.
Wednesday after work I started placing rock and coral in position trying to open the sand bed. I only used my right hand because the infection in the left (turns out I sliced it with a benchmade and that open cut in the rock and salt water is what did me in).
Thursday I went back in after work and had it pretty much as you see it there in the FTS although I've been tweaking it every day since then.

I really liked the 'concept' of the black sand but couldn't really get it to work for me. So not admitting defeat I took the crushed coral that I got from Troutmaster and made a beach of sorts on the right side, stretches to the back and creeps forward to the glass and to the left about 14 or 15 inches.

It's amazing how much stuff I had in there, and as a result of trying to keep the tank clean looking I've got a display fuge that no one will ever see. :D

Awww, I want a cowfish! That'll have to be the FOWLR....

[allan]

I put mine in the 75g frag as he was nibbling on my toadstool. Much bigger now.

[neogenix]

Are you all that worried about him eating anything else?
