October Updates;
My Copperband died. I couldn't get it to eat. I watched it eat in the store, but it wouldn't eat for me. I took it to Lyle to see if he could do anything with it, but... no such luck.
I went with Lyle to his wholesaler's and picked up some new additions to the tank. I have never seen so many tank with healthy looking fish in them. I picked up a leopard wrasse, 4 green chromis, a frag of red zoas, and a frag of orange zoas.
While I was there, I did find the next fish I really want. It's eating both frozen brine and pellets, looks really healthy and is dirt cheap!! Less then I paid for everything in the above picture.
I decided against the Mourish Idol. Heard that even if they do eat, they lack something in their diet and end up dying. I haven't seen my Leopard Wrasse since I put him in so went with a Red Flicker Wrasse Lyle had picked up while we were there.
Here's another video of my tank.

I scored a nice Purple, Orange with Yellow mouth Ric from Lyle. "Just give me a piece when it splits" is what he said as he bagged it up.
I wanted to get rid of the Green Tipped Mushrooms I had as they were taking over valuable real estate. Since I had to take the hood off to get them out, I figured I might as well put the 80 degree optics on my LEDs. Oppss, I missed wiring 4 LEDs. Had the camera out so I took some pictures.
Red FLicker Wrasse...still haven't seen my leopard. :( Lyle had a juvie Dragon Wrasse. Might play let's make a deal with him. I keep it til it becomes an adult then he gets it back.
Looking from the end.
Optics on the LEDs, but you can't see them. Changed the whole way the tank looks.
FTS. The stick is holding the lid open to cool the tank off.
