150 Gal Mixed Reef "Not Reef Safe" Take two begins

NO! Not the Orange Spotted Blenny! What a cool fish. I'm sorry he's gone.

Thanks guys!   I am sad about the Blenny also.  I can't see him in the overflows or in the sump.  He may have traveled to the sump, as he did like to hang out high in the tank by the overflows.  He was doing well, as were the Mandarin and Clown.  The eel may have got them, but there are many smaller easier targets that are fine. I highly doubt it was the shark. 

I don't have a close-up of my blue sympodium. I like it a lot.  Jackie has some also.  Mine looks just like the images you see on the web in a search though. 

Thanks Jackie yours does look cool.

New rockwork/tank layout.

Man that's a beautiful shark.
The aquascaping looks good.

I think the death and destruction is finally over.  This was the most depressing event that I have ever had with fish keeping.  All previous fish died except the snowflake eel and matted filefish.  The banded cat shark jumped out of the pool last Saturday and was out of water for an unknown number of hours.  I put him back in and he held on for two days before dying.

 Take Two begins...  I will be adding to the display again on June 14th.
