GSM, Im waiting for my SPS to settle in and then I am going to try the blu coral. My rocks went through the green algae phase again after I tried the 3 days no lights method.

mbunaman, thank you. I am always on the lookout for any nice colorful angel. Im also going to add some more blue spine cardinals.

russ, thats correct. There is minimal sand by the rocks though. I have an output from the CL behind the rocks that blows away any sand that gets behind them.

Maximus, I love GTR's. Ever since I have seen them in Japan many years ago and knowing they would never get here made them that much more desirable. Then they finally decided to sell them in the states. I cant wait until they go on sale next yr. There will also be a lot of competition that I also have my eye on. Im going to bring home something thats for sure and it has to be in the 400HP minimum range. Some of the new M5's have been catching my attention lately and would be perfect for my family of 4.

ataylo, thanks for the kind comments. I am very fortunate and love what this has become. This is a great hobby and keeps me at home with my family. Not only that, I have met great friends.

I myself am a car fanatic as well. I built myself a 450whp to the wheels Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. It is one sick car, AWD 3000lbs and a Tommy Makinen edition turbo. That is my first hobby.

Edward, check it out.....

Does the angel look familiar

 

[invincible569]

reefer714, is that a hotumatua or a joculator? The middle coloring looks gradient which is why is throwing me off on the species ID. Very nice fish! Show me some pics of it in your tank.

Thanks everyone else for the positive feedback.

Hello Edward, it is the Interuptus Angel. The fish just arrived after god know how many hours being in the bag. I have not add the fish into my main display yet. I want to leave it in my refugium for a while long with the Golden Rhomboid and hawaii flames

 

[invincible569]

Very nice!! I cant wait to see a pic of it in your tank! I bet you cant stop looking at it.

 

[jnarowe]

watch out for the Golden Rhomboid jumping. I had one do a fish stick on me...

 

[Jar*Head]

I spent most of my time by the fuge looking at the fish.

 

[Jar*Head]

Jnarowe, i have couple of them myself

 

[cbui2]

REEFER714 i must warn you that staring at the fish for long period of time will just make the addiction get way out of hand. i am just telling you this because i been there, please take some time off before its too late :beer: . nice fish BTW

 

[GSMguy]

cbui2, REEFER714 has 4 waveboxes in his tank i think the adiction is in full swing,,,,,



and hooray for that

 

[cbui2]

then its to late i cant saved him now

 

[Jar*Head]

hahahaha, I like the fish but i am addicted to SPS.

GSMGuy, i only have two wavebox and 4 tunze 6200 . I am getting rid of my dual wavebox cuz of the splashing and saltcrip... I will add 2 vortech with battery back up.

CBui2, your tank look amazing. i wish i have money to buy a house so i can have such large tank.

 

[Fliger]

Thanks for being the guinea pig on the spots. I love them!

Steve - beautiful fish. I would love to add one or two Interruptus when my tank is complete!

 

[Jar*Head]

Dav, let me know when you are ready. I can help you locate one or two of them angel. It has nothing to do with the asian connection tho

What do you mean being guinea pig? Are there something i need to know about that fish?

 

[Fliger]

Thanks bud. I can't wait to get stable. I use my Asian half or my German half, whichever suits me best at the time. LOL - I was thanking Edward for being the guinea pig on the spot lights.

I'll tell you about my future dream fish over on my thread shortly, I'll hit you up for some connections when the time comes!

 

[invincible569]

Thanks David.

Im going to be mixing up my lighting a little more. I have a 22K Giesemann Megachrome 250w SE bulb on order which will color up the tank in many ways. I plan to do a little mixing including with the 65k spotlight and see how things turn out. I also have another idea to clear up the bleeding of the light from side to side and looking into the fixture, the reflectors are on rails which can be moved from side to side. My plan is to bunch them up together so all bulbs will blend in. I never want to loose the white sparkly color the 13K marine's (extremely happy with this bulb) produce and this is just another supplementation for the tank to look more alive. The goal is to keep the 22K on the right or middle due to the species of corals that will be living in this area. I also want to try and see how the 22K looks with a 65K Spotlight. I will take pics and share with everyone once it comes in next wk.

Can't wait to see the results on the lighting.
