The Black pearl/ Reef Savvy 240

Sorry for your two losses! Keep plumping up the MI! You should try and post the Achilles pic of the hole on the disease section to see if anyone can help identify the cause of that weird looking hole. Nice frag pickups by the way

Bummer Achilles Tangs are one of my favorites. On another note any word on the Rev 4 ATS?

What a drag losing the Achilles.....one of my favs.

Everything else is looking great. That rock work really turned out nice.

Sorry to hear of the losses. But, this will be an awesome display.

Nice build, love the lighting setup with the ability to move it up and down.

Just read the entire thread with my morning coffee.

Thanks for the sentiment and compliments. Finally took the clown tang out of QT he was so happy to see other fish that he just flew around the tank giving everybody high fives(tail slapping) for awhile, I thought, should have left his butt in QT, by the next day he had settled down a bit, but I can tell he wants to be Boss. Haven't introduced my original tang crew to the new tank yet, they are all much larger and the fox face is huge, that will prolly really tick him off

Are those mariculture pieces? You plan on putting those rocks in your display?

Awesome tank! I added a clown tang to my tank a few years ago. He was aggressive at 1st but is now fairly docile. I have a 8in naso and a chocolate tang in with him and have never had any major issues

Thanks M7, Well I sure hope this guy calms down, he is the spawn of Satan right now. I'm mostly concerned about his aggression toward the Morish Idol. The MI has some Barry Sanders moves though and quickly evades him

That one piece that's green with the pink tips might be, I picked it up on an ASD eBay auction the others I placed on rock rubble from my system

Beautiful system. Keep up the great work.

Risky business putting mariculture rocks in your display. Aefw love hiding in those rocks. Along with all the other evil hitchhikers. IMO, The bases should always be cut and thrown out.

Agreed...

Unless put thru a qt process that involves lots of dips and natural predators.

On another note the tank is looking great, and sorry about the losses
