All fish in and getting along

Finally added the last inhabitants to my 93 from my various cube breakdowns and so far so good. I had already added the 6-line and yellow coris (which was a greatly feared duo) but they are best buds. Swim around the tank and almost school together. They were both harrassed by their respective clowns (not in this tank....just my mild mannered Picasso's here) and it apparently made them a bit more docile.

Before the bashing begins, this tank has a juvenile Scopas tang as well. I know a 93 cube isn't good for tangs, but my research on the Scopas showed it to require the least space (70 gal) and I see why. He just swims around the rock pecking all day.....never even cruises around. Weird to see a calm tang after all the mad darters I've seen.

The only potential problem children seem to be my ORA Phantom Blenny and my starry blenny. THey don't fight, but it's funny to watch them fan out their fins when they get near each other....little man sydrome I guess. Looks like a couple cats about to fight and all fuzzed up:thumbs:

Anyways...only thing left to add is a mandarin once the fuge gets going good and the tank is populated with pods. Nothing flashy in my tank....but the group has a great mix of color.

<p style="text-align:left">Here's some quickies. Forgive me....I have a horrible camera. Wouldn't focus on the FTS without flash so it looks like the sides are dim with a hotspot in the center. Side are a little dimmer....but not what the picture looks like. Again....rock and coral just scattered, no aquascape. Believe it or not....that's over 100lbs already in there. DOesn't go far in this cube. Still have about 50lbs of prime zoa/clove polyp covered LR to go in as needed.

<p style="text-align:left">The Green CLown Goby is quickly becoming my favorite fish (expecially for under $10:thumbs Always chillin' in the SPS's.

Very cool! When are you going to finish the aquascape?

Since I was stirring 3 tanks to populate this one, I'll be leaving it un-scaped for a couple of months probably to watch for "problem rocks" that may develop nuissance algae etc. Like the one that scared me when it appeared to be bryopsis Still working with my MH height too for best coverage.
