agreed with lil fish digging the plate coral nice grab

Thanks, I was really enjoying them as well, unfortunately the peppermint shrimp and the bicolor blenny also enjoyed trampling all over them, to the point that they stayed deflated for over a week. Brought them back to LFS today and was able to get $5 less than what I paid for them in credit, more pics to come as they are replaced, got over $100 in store credit to use over the next couple of days :)

Been a while since I've posted any updates, when hurricane sandy hit last month I lost power for 5 days and lost alot of stuff (hector's goby, both peppermint shrimp, and a bunch of corals) and I have been getting everything cleaned back up the last few weeks. Haven't really started to replace any of the coral yet, although I did get a neon dottyback last week to replace the goby. Here are some recent pics and I will add more once I start replacing the corals after the holidays.

Looking good bud. Also good to see you back.

Moved some stuff around today so I took some pictures, mostly just clearing space for new corals and clearing off some rock in case I need to move any around. I am waiting on adding anything new until the AI Sol gets here (hopefully Thursday) so I don't have to acclimate anything and then reacclimate to the new lights so soon after, but regardless these are probably the last pics I'll take under the old lights!

 

[charlieB]

Ugh, checked the status of my order for the lights today and they emailed me saying the fixture is on back order for 2-3 weeks... :(

 

[little_fish]

That's a bummer but your tank is very nice looking!

 

[charlieB]

[Ted]

[mariobrothersleeve]

Very nice set up. Sorry for your loss.

So I elected to go with a DIY retrofit kit so I could keep the stock look of the BC, the one I ordered from steve's leds came today and after a few hours it's now up and running.
