ya and thanx for noticing, i added another 20lbs+- of LR and another powerhead to help with dead spots. still need some more rock, but it is getting there. that lack of rock was my biggest problem. i had enough to keep the water quality in check, but not enough to maintain the clean look. to many algea sh^t trees on the rocks due to the lack of rock space and flow.

i think my yellow tang had a rock fall on it from a trigger fight cause it has some red 'brusing' on its sides, in addition to some rocks out of place. it has become timid and eats less. i think it will pull trough, but it is slow going.

Yikes on the rock fall. I hope the tang ends up ok. I would look into possibly fastening the rock in some way. Triggers are known to moving rock around if they can to look for food and stuff and that could cause more problems in the future.

ya after that deal, i started looking into some expoy like glues for the rock. i am not sure what i will use, since that triggers could potentally eat/bite what ever i use. i am going to make some smart 100% nontoxic, yet strong choices for the rock connections. with the method i choose i will be able to make more of a labariynth(see spelling disclaimer in my sig) for all the fish to cruze/ claim for territories.

as of right now the tang is still aline, but not all that hot. it eats sometimes, but it has the red bruzing that comes and goes like it is getting infected and its lips are turning red from time to time. it is pale most of the time. i have added some melaflix to help, but i don't know if it is.
 
my brother did a vid of the tank on his phone so as soon as he uploads it to youtube i will post it.
