In your video what is the solid blue coral up high on left side. Looks amazing. Any issues with your angel? I have always loved that angel but afraid to put one in my tank.

That would be the Oregon Tort. Unmistakable and is the standout across the room.

Which angel? They do best in SPS tanks... My angels will devour zoas and most LPS.

They are quite impactful... Enough that I can run a much warmer spectrum with the T5s and then once the two actinic bars are on, it balances it out to my preferred 12k-14k look. Without them and with my current bulb selection, its got a good yellowish tint to the color.

Benefits are increased flourescing pigments, dawn/dusk, ability to tune color since they are dimmable, and being able to take those fun actinic shots people go nuts over.
Thanks for the info.

Haha, a fan of the classics! Seriously though... It is the most dominantly eye-catching coral from across the room. Just commands your eyeballs to look its way.

Man.. I so wish I could get the real thing up here in Canada. The OT and Purple monster... I just don't think they are in Canada...

I've always loved the majestic angel. I could deal with no zoa's but I really like some of my acans, and torch/frogspawn. Does it nip at your corals.

What a bummer! I have a small frag of the PM. What a beauty!

I guess shipping to Canada doesn't really work?

I WISH! Cites permits. We'd need permits for trading endangered species across international borders... not simple or cheap, I don't think. Unfortunately.

Maybe I can just tape it to a moose and chase it across the border where you are waiting on the other side? [emoji16]
 
What about a catapult? Technically it's not in anyone's possession while it rockets through the air. Someone just happens to pick up a bag heavily wrapped in bubble wrap on the other side of the border. How aboot that! [emoji38]

Ha! I'd give either method a try..
As long as the missile defense system doesn't blow the flying bag of coral out of the air!

Are those fish professionals? Do they just pose while you snap the shutter?

May I ask, what is the box thing right of center, horizontal wave box?

Is your back glass painted black?

I mellow them out with a couple special brownies that I bake into pellet form. They'll swim still all day for me to take pics! Totally kidding. Every 10 bad shots equal 1 good shot.

The box is an anemone box where I hide all my anemone goodies in there.

Glass is completely clear and I inserted a blue PVC sheet back there as a removable backdrop. That way I can remove it to see while cleaning the back glass from the fish room side.

Nice. Does that regal go after things like torches, Duncan's, acans, fire shrimp? I have one 3 inch Maxima clam too... I have mostly SPS and would love a Regal? What has been your experience ?

He'll leave the torch and fire shrimp alone. The rest is up to the personality of the fish. My bet is the acans are for sure toast and the rest is luck of the draw.

They are super hard to get through QT. Order a red sea one, they are more expensive but have higher chances of survival.

Ive looked into it with tortoises; it's insanely difficult. Even to sell an endangered species that I've bred myself is virtually impossible to do "on the books". Let alone ship across borders.

That's wild! I never knew it was so crazy to get corals into Canada!

I think to transship them in bulk from australia/indonesia, before the indo ban, to Canada is just as difficult as to the United States (not that bad if you have a business license and 20 hours to spare), but between USA and Canada more difficult due to the huge regulations on both sides.
