Hello all! It's been a while since I updated, I've been very excited with my tank this week so here are some tidbits!

• My first helfrichi died after three days. How sad and discouraging It was replaced under warranty and the new one has been going strong for two weeks! The new one isnt as buddy buddy with the other fish as the last one, but this one is a lot more active and eats a broader variety of foods.
• Visited PHISHY BUSINESS in columbus and snagged a beautiful purple/green/blue

...

I originally wanted to take a purist approach and only house Clowns and BTAs, however, the more I looked at my rockscape the more I envisioned a SMALL variety of corals. I would hate to waste PAR and flow on an anemone that can adapt to low/low conditions, so here is a coral dream team.

Assorted BTAs on left side of tank
Zoas on the foreground "arm" of rocks
Table Acros right in the focal point, high flow, directly under lights.
Monti Caps all down ...

Here are some more pictures of my Elos that I wanted to share with you. You can find the specs in my other blog posts.
