3 of my favorite fish.




The lineatus wrasse, the purple firefish, and the radiant wrasse are three of my favorite fish in the tank. They each add a lot of color and splash. I especially like the firefish and the radiant as they are always out in the open swimming around. The lineatus being a deep water fish is a lil more reclusive when the midday lights are beating down!

Free frag!




This is a frag I got from the February frag meeting. It was labeled as a pokerstar monti but it turned out to be a superman. No worries here as I actually really like the coloration in this particular specimen.

The coral in the background is another wild superman monti that has too many polyps close together for my taste.

Clear Full Tank Shot



Alex finally came over and took some shots of the tank. It turned out much nicer than it would have on my crappy point and shoot. Unfortunately, something was wrong with my tank when these pics were taken. I'm not sure what it is but my Fiji leather was sullen all day and my clams were closed up. Some of my acros wouldn't extend their polyps either... Clearly something was wrong and you can see it in the pics.

I decided to do a water change and hope for the best. As of tonight the clams have opened again and the Fiji has filled up. I'm not sure what was wrong. The only thing I did was dose some phyto in the morning. Perhaps the phyto was bad? I dunno... just to be safe I'm throwing it out.

Hopefully, I can get Alex to take some more pics when the corals and clams don't look like they're dying!
