    Well glad the move went well for the most part. I am sure the Pistol is fine. Hopefully the Hawkfish is fine as well.

    I feel your pain! ;D The 75 drilled sounds like a great Christmas present!

    I hope you can rescue the pistol shrimp and the hawkfish! I dread our transfer to the 90...I have 2 pistol shrimp who share a burrow, along with a watchman goby who hangs out with them. Not going to be fun. Good luck!

    found the hawkfish but he's being pretty shy, I gather it's adjusting to the tank. Goby and pistol MIA at the moment. I keep waiting to hear that magical "pop" noise. I'm assuming that it's probably molting somewhere and he's usually quiet for a couple days when he molts.

    Good to hear! When I first got my tonimi tang, he hid so well that I couldn't find him for 3 days. I thought he was a goner for sure.

    ok, here are a couple of pictures....please keep in mind, I haven't really scaped yet and have a few extra pieces of rock I'm going to add in. The tank really is substantially bigger, I was surprised how little rock it looks like I have now lol

    Also included a picture of yes, a SUMP! Ignore the ghetto light props....going to put the lights in a hood soon :)

    Looks good, I see you went with the black background!

    When I upgraded, my pistol shrimp and goby went to opposite sides of the tank. I didn't even see my goby for a good week and a half, and I didn't see them together until about another week after that. So don't worry!
