My Yellow Tang died today :( I had him for about 6 months, he was so nice...

Well get this, the first night I got him, I was brushing my teeth and all of a sudden he jumped out of the tank and fell 6ft down and behind the drawers and tv. I had to launch my ps3 and 32" LCD out of the way, drag the chest of drawers and search for my fishy! I managed to pick up a dusty...

The rest of the corals are in now, Will get a picture today.

Some great advise on here, thanks Ski. I will now choose either to run more carbon and replace more often or look at re-homing my Sarcophytons as I am headding towards more SPS.

Both now caught. If you need to catch a fish, I highly recomend a fish trap, caught both fish in under 5 minutes of putting the trap in the tank!

Ah i feel really mean. I borrowed a fish trap from my LFS today and just caught the smaller male of the pair. Poor guy is wigging out in the frag tank now.

yeah lets get frag exchanging!
