    I started documenting my build on my newbie intro thread. I'll continue here.

    My tank finished cycling this weekend so I got to add some fish yesterday! I already had a blue damsel.

    I added:

    Two O. Clowns
    Small carpet anemone
    Kole Tang


    I also ordered a refugium which will be here Friday.

    55g
    2 Emperor 400 bio-wheels
    Reef Octopus skimmer (can't find the #)
    Aqueon 200W heater
    2 hydor korillia 1150 circulation pumps on a Hydor smart wave pump controller
    1 10,000k 54w sun wave
    1 12,000k 54w super daylight
    1 super blue 54w actinic
    1 420/460 54w BB actinic

    Sorry for the phone pics.
    The tang is still shy as I just added him 24 hours ago so getting a good pic is difficult.

    That might be the prettiest Kole tang I've seen. Is he really that purple?

    In the dark. Yes. He doesn't exactly come out to pose yet in the light. I'll bring my zoom lens to work to snap a good photo soon.

    Finally found the battery to my good camera for some better pics!

    Well my fish caught ich! Ugh! I bought a while bunch of frags from the last online 80% off sale. Only fish left is the damsel. I'm going to re-scape some so there's more room in the sand to set frags as well as utilize space I have at the top since I removed the filters and HOB skimmer.and added a refuge.

    That's a bummer about the ich. Tank looks good, though.

    Thanks! It looks rather boring to me. That's the artist speaking in me though.

    Hiya,

    Bummer about the ick. I got a case of it too in my tank a few months ago. Came out with two gobbies, corris wrasses and a cromis. I think the new layout looks good.

    Finally, with Allen's help the re-scape is complete. I like the final result!
