45 Gallon Salt Tank =D (Lots of Pics)

Well I went diving today got four more fish for my tank... I didn't really want to mix Pacific and Atlantic species, but at the moment they are all getting along well.
Also got about 5 pounds of live rock
Its starting to look alot like an actual "Reef" minus the coral...
Here are some pics of what it looks like now

Here is My Jack Knife Fish =)

Beaugregory Damselfish

Seargent Major

Does Anyone know what species this is? I think it is a type of Jack but I'm not sure...

How do you catch them? Nice fish.

I had a normal fishing net and I got them to come close by smashing a sea urchin (R.I.P. Urchin...) And thanks!

Looks good!

type of cardinal fish.

Pretty sure a glass cardinal.

Good looking tank, and decent stocking. Make sure those damsels don't beat the **** out of each other or others!

Thanks! The Damsels pretty much leave eachother alone most of the time (knock on wood)

Used to use a slurp tube down in FL...collecting is always neat...whats really cool is how small you are getting your jack and your jackknife fish...sweet to watch them grow, unfortunately both will get very large as you well know.

Thanks I was using a Slurp Gun, but it was broken
Yes I know, I will most likely have to return the two jacks back into the wild as soon as they get too big for my tank
I am actually thinking about changing my 55 gallon to saltwater as well...

Dont ever tell people you are going to release fish into the wild after housing them in captivity...it drives people nutzos. I dont condone itl...but Im pretty chill, you might want to avoid that in the future.

I didnt have much time with the slurp gun...but it seemed like a fun toy.

A possible solution is to take the fish to an LFS? There are people with big tanks who might want them.
