Wow, it does look like snow and it also looked like you bought some new coral for your tank compared to your past photos.

a few, what can i say, it is an addiction

 

[Sugar Magnolia]

Wow, that is really a nice set up you have there. I also really like your surface skimmer idea. Would you mind PMing me the pics you sent to drewhop?

 

[hobogato]

no problem

 

[Koshmar]

Beautiful! There's a lot of money in that tank!
Imagine trying to find a cuttle in there, the color displays should be interesting. Very exciting, thanks for sharing.

Did you ever think of culturing mysis yourself?

I would not keep any LPS corals as they will sting the little guys and eat them.

 

[hobogato]

thanks for the heads up, but that shouldnt be a problem as they will not be set free into the tank until they are much larger.

Yeah, I just didn't want you to find some cuttle poop in the skimmer. lol love the setup though. the cuttles are going to love it.

thanks guys, one baby cuttle that i got a few weeks back is doing great and three of the ten eggs i got this week have hatched. i have at least 30 mollies in the tank makin babies for food and another 50 in another setup doing the same. between that and frozen mysis, hopefully i will have plenty of food for this batch without ordering live mysis.

 

[hobogato]

here is a pic the day after i got the eggs, one hatched that night (the other one is the hatchling i have had for a couple of weeks)

a little closer
