Love that image. What is growing on that rock in the bottom left corner? I have that on some of my rocks. Is it a coraline algae or a macro of some kind?

[afilter]

The all red one is a piece of fake coral with some algae growing on it. Is is due for replacement as soon as I find a suitable piece of base or LR. The other the one next to it just has some algea that the PBT and CB graze on.

The image is a bit blurry I will get the tripod out this weekend an get a better shot.

Thanks,

Got any more pics????

Here are a couple of new pics. I did a massive cleaning to include the sump/fuge. During the cleaning I found a six line wrasse in my sump that had been missing for a couple of months. Very cool. :whistle: All is looking much better.

Very nice set up.... looking great.... I think I see a sailfin tang in there??? Am I correct??? If so it will out grow a 90 gal tank...you need at least a 125...I personally wouldn't keep them in anything less than 150 gal tank for them to thrive......

Yeah the sailfin was a rescue a couple of months ago. I realize it will eventually out grow the tank, but it was condemed to certain death where it was (30g). My PBT tore it up pretty bad at first to establish the pecking order. Since then all is going great. I do watch it closely and have plans to move it out some day when it out grows this environment. It has been eating and growing steadily since I have had it.

Funny thing is When I upgraded to the 90g last fall I returned a orange shoulder and YT to make sure my PBT was the center piece. Now I am back to two tangs. I guess like many I am a sucker for TANGS. :roll:
