Well I can't get one of my engineer goby cause he only comes out to eat... Hopefully it's just cause he's still a baby, maybe 5". But I got a pic of the star, the frogspawn, the Midas blenny, the acropora, the Astro? (not sure), and my giant spider conch.
 
Here's the pics!!! :D

Very cool additions! Your spider conch has an awesome shell!! :) I had a star like that in the FOWLR a little while ago, but something (I think the hermits) started eating its legs. :( It hung in there for a while, but eventually died. They're quite slow, even for starfish, and I guess it just had no way to get away. Hope your does better than mine!!
 
Yeah. That's why I put him up on the glass haha. And the spider conch is huge! Haha.

As for the frogspawn I hope it looks like that. It's 4 heads and was pretty big but I just put it in last night. The last frogspawn and torch and 2 hammers that I've tried have all died but they were all cheap 1 small head frags. I'm hoping this one will make it! :)
 
Looks awesome! Just read through your whole build. I was bored at work lol. I would put the conch on the sandbed though. Sorry to hear about your wrasse. I love your set up. Looks awesome. How'd that make-shift o-ring work out for your skimmer?

Put those cardinals in yet?
 
I did put the Conch on the sand bed. Multiple times haha. He likes that rock back there. I know :/ but I'll get another wrasse. And I'll be putting the bangaiis in as soon as my lfs finally gets some in. Haha.

I think he meant that he put the starfish on the glass. :)
 
Yeah. I did haha. I still need that O-ring though for my skimmer cause it works fine but I can't adjust how thick or thin of a skim it pulls.
 
I can't wait to put my skimmer in when it comes in the mail and see all the junk it pulls out. How do you know how to adjust it?
 
Honestly I have no idea haha! I still need the O-ring to see if I even like my skimmer haha. Buy better to order a 2$ o-ring then a new skimmer.
 
Just some more pics :) any tips on caring for gargonian?

Your tank looks looking great!! Like the new additions!! :) I think that purple gorgonian is photosynthetic, but you should probably research it to make sure. I have a pink one that's photosynthetic and a blue one that not. They like strong flow, but nothing too direct. Obviously if its photosynthetic, it'll need really good lighting. They filter feed too, a lot of times they do this at night, so adding some marine snow after lights out will help it too. Good luck! I hope it does great, they can be tricky. BTW, the gorgonian is beautiful. And the Midas blenny-too cute!!
 
Why thank you very much :) I also have a new frogspawn addition I didn't get a pic of and some zoos. The only reason you don't get a FTS is because I haven't been home to clean my tank in like a week :eek: haha :)

I love my Midas blenny :) especially her blue eyes!

The gargonian will hopefully be photosynthetic. And do well where he is.... Haha. I also add coral-vite and invert food every other day so that should help. But I can't complain! Got the gargonian, frogspawn, whatever that sps is, candy cane, and a some different zoos all for 40$ :)

That a great deal!! Oh, but I forget you get a discount now!! Yea!! You're so busy being a working man, you can't clean your own tank?? Lol. Or just away for the holiday? Well, give us a FTS after you get a chance to clean it!

Yeah, the blue eyes on the Midas blenny really set the coloration off!! Beautiful fish. I love my starry blenny, but he's a big oaf, about 4 1/2-5" long. Funny guy, though. And mines not nearly as pretty as your blenny. Lol. One of those that are so funny looking that they're cute kinda things. Haha :D
