I have always loved my angels as well but have loved my brains/zoos/LPS just slightly more...once my SPS grow out a bit and I dont need my LPS to "fill in" the tank I may consider off-ing all the LPS and zoos for a couple nice large angels. Always been a sucker for a Red Sea Regal or a nice Scribbled...
Thanks for all the words of encouragement guys!

Wellll pretty much feel like I got kicked in the balls. Over the past 3 days I have lost every single fish in the tank (minus the yellow coris and leopard wrasse) to a case of marine velvet...
At first I suspected ich so started soaking all food in garlic extreme as all the fish were still eating good and praying to God that the couple that showed early signs would fight it off so I would not have to rip the entire tank apart, and then by the time I realized it was velvet almost overnight the eyes of the the fish were completely clouded over and they literally were keeling over as fast as I could pull them out...
Sooo just kinda waiting to see what happens with these 2 wrasses and will have to leave the tank fishless for 6+ weeks. In my almost 7 years in the hobby this is the first time I have experienced velvet and never ever again will I add another fish to my tank without proper QT'ing...Let this be a lesson to all.
And the most frustrating part of all is that my Corals are growing better than I've ever seen them...the polyp extension on the SPS is fantastic...but yet I can't keep a single fish alive. One of the things that really makes me second guess what I'm doing in this hobby...

Tank is doing phenominal, restocked with fish, SPS and all corals are growing like crazy, life is good. I must say the best thing I've ever done for this tank was add a calcium reactor. Never ran one and am amazed at how much faster both the SPS and coraline algae grows. Will try to get some updated pics or a video over the long weekend.

Come on main, LOL what kinda fish did you pick up? Interesting that you went the CARx direction with so many people opting just to dose 2 part. Which one did you opt for and was it difficult to dial in and fine tune?
.....On with the pictures!
