Very nice. I really like your tank.

 

[Andrew]

Wow. Thats a sweet nano tank. I love the rockwork. Can we see some more pictures?

Btw, the fish you posted isn't a blue damsel. It looks more like a chromis.

 

[ScubaShane]

Its defiantly in the damsel family but not a chromis. Its been the same size for 4 years now. He used to be in my 75g reef. When I bought him he was with the Bluefin Damsel - Paraglyphidodon melas.

ohh. He has the chromis color but a damsels eyes. But damsels, clownfish, and chromis are in the same family.

very nice, inspiration for my 18g tall

now if only i could find coral to buy in hawaii. in the middle of the friggin ocean and we can't bring them in or take them from the ocean legally...

 

[ScubaShane]

Does FEDEX have next day air to Hawaii from the states?
I can give you some websites for corals if you want them.

 

[bingoboy]

i believe they do, its ungodly expensive though

gimme the sites

lvierock also runs like 10-15 $$ / lb here. a friend of mine and i are going to try growin some pretty ones of our own using that rediculously priced rock to seed the tanks...

[ScubaShane]
