They are happily in my Sump now! After tossing them in, they disappeared into the one piece of LR I have in there.  Never to be seen again!

Thanks again Ordi260

That's awesome - I LOVE the onyx clowns. They are just enough "different" from the regular orange ones that everybody has but still enough of the "same" that they add the finishing touch to any tank!

I can't remember, are you thinking of being a hosting anemone?

I got a very nice small black sailfin blennie and a pearly jawfish last weekend!

The black blennie chosen a hole as his home in the rock where i can see him all the time!

But the pearly jawfish is nowhere to be found... i tried many times looking everywhere for him, during the day and night...any tought???

Well first be sure he didnt jump.
They can be a jumper until they have a burrow built. Then they tend to settle down.

Then check along the base of your rocks and see if anyone has been pushing gravel out from under a rock.
Pearly jawfish like to build a burrow and hide under the rock. You will see them pearing out at first before they will venture out.

Good news tonight!!!

Its crack...oops nutrimar ova night for the fish and while feeding, I looked another time around the tank to try to find the pearly jawfish i got 2 weeks ago!

And SURPRISE!!!  I found his burrow on the back side of the tank, under the rocks...altough i cant really see him until feeding time, I am REALLY happy to know hes safe and sound!  He was wonderful colours and eating like a pig  ;D

Ill try to get some pics later this week!

Time has come to REVIVE my thread!  ;)

I have built a wood canopy with great help from HomerJ (Thanks  8) ). 

And will be getting an Icecap 660 ballast this weekend!  T5HO here i come!  Corals will benefit of better lighting now!  I will install 4 tubes in the canopy + my reefbrite actinic fixture (if there is enough room).  Ill try to fit in a couple of moonlights in there too but im not sure I will have enough room.

I got sealant, expresso stain and varnish! EDIT 1:30AM: Applied first coat of stain to the door and inside spacers. Now i go sleep  ::)

Now I need to choose the fan's layout and bulb combination.  Any ideas?
The best idea received so far was to put 2 fans on the right pulling air in and 2 fans on the left drawing heat out!

Pictures!
