So its not far off the tank being here and cycled, I picked up some more livestock for the tank.

2 Cleaner Shrimp - these things are tiny
Multi-Colour Lobo

Sorry about the crappy phone pics

Some more of the livestock and some new corals I got for the tank....the clown was from earlier in my gfs 34L nano which I moved to my tank when she got the pair of skunks. not sure what clowns we will add in the new tank.

Do you think the ocellaris and the skunk will live in a tank together of this size?

The anticipation.. Always wanted an elos.. But I'd find myself questioning a fully custom setup over a prebuilt one.. With the stock.. I bet you were just tempted and excited to stock the new tank.. You couldn't help yourself huh

Yeah gonna be awesome, bit disappointed they now announced a DC pump and new stand designs for all their tanks, might see what I can do about them with my tank but for this one just wanna secure some nice pieces for my gf so that its all ready

Bought a few hammers today 2 Orange 1 reverse stem and another green on...waiting on a reply from UCA on some of their lobos and goni's but they dont seem to get back to me at all ive missed out on a few pieces :(

I bought a potters today and will be picking it up next week sometime i'll hold it in my tank until this one is up and running, i think i've pretty much got all the stock for her tank now bar maybe a pair of clowns and one more dwarf angel and just those few other corals.

So I visited @Aquariums@Asquith after dropping my gf to the airport and took his paint pen and drew circles all over his glass on all the stock I wanted lol. I knew i was there a long time i got there at like 2:30 and then when I went to put stuff in my car it was dark out lol.

Got some amazing pieces at some amazing prices, also picked up her potters I got through Mark earlier last month which he held for me :) thanks for the top service Mark.

Some things on the list were, reverse toxic frogspawn, rainbow acan, red goni, gold scolly, tricolor lobo, pink and green brain and some more pieces. Since i already overstocked my cube i had to take them to @LEG-IT's place to look after most the stock and took @NiCd has the scolly lolall over the place.

the frogspawn piece in real life is unreal!

Her elos is gonna look amazing!
