Not much to update since the last time. Drywall is up and they are finishing mudding this week. After they finish sanding I will plumb the tank and get some water in it and get the tank cycling

I'm looking forward to following this build. Do you have any livestock yet? Is the bandit angel in your profile pic yours?

3" clown soapfish I have had for a year and a melanarus and zebra eel I have had for 3 years now are the only stock I have. The bandit in the picture isn't mine. Lost mine with my male crosshatch due to velvet. Not been a good month needless to say. So the Stocklist is wide open. Really want it to be a mostly angel and butterfly tank, with a few tangs and other misc fish

No. I suspect velvet but am not 100% with the timeline it fits though. Ate the night before then laying on their sides breathing heavy... Dead before lights off. Never seen any fish survive after laying on it's side. I did 100% water changes in between with no help. All started with a misbar regal that came in. That was the first to die 3-4 days after arrival. The tank had a low level of CP in it but not the full dose because I had done a 50g water change on a 150g total QT system.

Yep sure does but what are you going to do besides roll with the punches and try and learn from it. Are you going to MACNA Peter?
