Tank looks great Fadi.
Can't wait to see those corals become colonies and fill up.

A nice start! By the way, how are the aquarium shops in Saudi Arabia?

Very bad shops in Saudi Arabia, except one that is trying to provide good services, you rarely find anything good and the prices are too expensive, all of my equipment was bought and shipped from USA. except the radion lights i got them from local Ecotech distributor. this shop have sometimes nice fish and corals but I need to be there at the first day the shipment arrives or else it is all sold out.

I traveled to Bahrain (300 miles Drive) just to get few sps frags

I am getting all of my equipment and supplies from Amazon and Marinedepot, I used to buy from BRS but last month they canceled my order because they do not want to ship internationally

Until Now all of these fish are showing me there good side and not touching any thing except some picking on the rocks. I hope this good behavior continues.

But after this addition I have noticed that the yellow tang is the nastiest fish ever. kept attacking and biting the butterfly for the first 2 days, you can see some of the damage done. The weird thing that the yellow tang is small in size. I was afraid that the lrage purple tang will be the true terror for the new arrivals.

Also I thought that the powder blue will get hell from the other tangs, but they just ignored it !

The Emperor killed only one small acan and likes to nip on zoa, no problem for me because every zoa head the emperor eats there is 2 or three new ones, its like a hydra .

Nice, I got the same toy not too long ago. If you haven't yet and have a way of stabilizing the camera try focus stacking, it can create some great photos.

Wow! Great video. I guess it's pretty easy, though, with such a beautiful tank to work with. :thumbsup:

It is been a while for my last Update as I was busy traveling back home to Jordan to welcome the new addition to my family. Baby girl Julia :D. The following months was a lot of travels to different areas and countries in the Arabic gulf for work and fun and checking for new live stock.
