I'm happy with the new aquascape. Not happy with what it's cost me in fish, but I'm sure I'll get over it, in time and have learned some lessons.
*Don't sit a heavy rock down on a small fish.
*Don't kill half of a pair unless you want the other half to die too.
*secure any and all exits or buy fish too big to get through them
*just leave the darn tank alone and let it grow. :perv:

Here's a pic or two of the new aquascape and one of my purty sun coral and my rapidly fattening little target mandarin.

(hmmm, cpd's gonna start to think I'm copying her....if only!) :)

I love that left side and how you created the higher shelf towards the inside...different than most would intuitively place the rocks but looks more natural...like a real reef.

LOL I've swapped away some of the things I had in there, but here's a Before pic:

Annette: your tank looks terrific and you suncoral is unbelievable...you must be feeding it quite a bit. Looks very happy.

Thanks! It was very healthy and happy when I got it, so that helps of course. But yes, I'm feeding it twice a day, same as I do the fish, I've just added an extra cube to the feeding routine now. I feed the fish first and by the time I'm done with them, it's open and ready and then I feed it a little, wait a few minutes, feed it some more, wait a few more minutes, feed it the last. I need to get a new turkey baster or target feeder though, the one I have is too big, I think. Here's a pic of it eating!

I really like the new look. Sorry about the losses you have had recently.

It can be tough to keep from messing with things, for sure.

I just about had to go into a 12 step program to cure my addiction for sticking my hands in the tank and messing with things.

Today was the first time in 3months for me to go in my tank. I needed to permanently mount a Purple Monti and lower a Table Acro frag.

Looking forward to seeing your tank update pictures in say....3-6-9-12 months.

Nice work!
