New Fishes.....

Mystery Wrasse - Pickup this fish from RAP two weeks ago. It has been doing great and eating frozen mysis and formula 2 flakes. This is the most expensive fish that I've ever paid for and on top of that, I bought it at a bargain price.

Bimaculatus Anthias - These are my latest additon, bought them over the weekend from my LFS. One male and 2 females, all the three fish are doing well and eating frozen mysis and brine shrimp.

Reef-A-Palooza 2007

Last weekend, I attended the RAP event in Southern California together with some fellow reefers. We drove down from Sacramento a day earlier for the event. We also have the opportunity to visit a local fish store there too. At the RAP, I picked up 7 pieces of frags and a beautiful Mystery Wrasse. Here are some pictures that I took during the event.

Here are some additional updates during the month of July:-

• I've completed setting up the Bio-Cube. All the LPS (chalices, acans, micros, sun coral, duncans) and softies (zoas, palys, rics, mushies) have been moved into the nano. The only LPS that I did not transfer is the Cherry Bomb Lobophyllia.
  
• Sold the 2 Candycane Wrasse to downsize the number of fishes.
• Lost 3 females and 1 male Lyretail Anthias due to ICH. I've replaced 2 females and still looking for a "Supermale" Lyretail Anthias.
• Lost a newly bought Fairy Wrasse (doesn't even last a day). Found it dead in the filter sock, it must have jump into the overflow and got drained into the sump.
• Added some new frags acquired from Rommel - Superman Digi, Pokerstar Monti, Cotton Candy Acro.
• In the process of setting up the Elos Rea 120 Calcium Reactor.
