The Rabbitfish ..or there is a Banana Wrasse, who was hiding when i took those last lot of pix.

Think the rescaping upset him, mind you the nem tolerated the about face and hasn't moved a millimetre. The foot grab was large so I left him there attached

must be the rabbit....not usually a fan but that looks nice

 

[Antisven]

Love it

Thanks Leo, he wasn't my first choice, was thinking of a fox-face, having had one in the old tank, but the LFS suggested a rabbit for toughness and variety ( changes colour to suit his mood, goes grey spots when stressed, plain grey when he's asleep, and when he's feeling dominant he will throw up the spines top and bottom) overall though a nice fish who picks at algae and swims well in the tank.

Compliments of @Luke, I acquired some new corals to help Luke in his re-design... Thanks mate!

 

[Priscacara]

Yeah the coralline may spread too and give your tank a purple shade

So what do you do when your HGA dies and sticks to your black Hawaiian substrate?

You pull the whole DT down and reinvent thy tank!

Tis done and photos to come shortly.... I am amazed at the difference... As are the fish lol.

Oh yeah... Pulling it down wasn't too bad, but once i got it back to empty, it went back together quickly. Placed egg-crate diffuser in the bottom and now pure sand...

The funny thing is ... That amidst the sandstorm i created with the first 100 litres in, i just plonked the rock in, without any thought to judge water volume needed, and 90min return trips per 100litres, only to discover that it is the best natural layout of rock i have done since reefing. LOL. Still gobsmacked at how it looks.

The chaeto, is tumbling nicely in the sump, and is about the size of a tennis ball. Don't think its lost any size nor grown.

IMO, the white sand looks so much better :)
