Man you are really bookin'

the shot with the anthias and wrasses is awesome. kind of like that david saxby vid yeah?

Any hope that A. maculiceps will be golden looking like Mike Leonard's?

What are you talking about? I am going pretty slow so far :lol:

All juvies look like that. It is less than 3 inches. The spots do have a gold tint though.

Seriously, of all the tank builds I've seen. Your tank is one of the fastest.

Nice. I was thinking that.

How's the skimmer holding up?

I started my tank build on January 19th. Two months; it seemed like forever especially because all the planning.

I think the skimmer is fine. Is there something specific you would like to know?

mine looks mostly black unless he is eating (which he like to do alot)or he is ****ed at another fish(happens quiet often) mine is about 5-6 in
Mark has yours taken ownership of the tank yet i think it took mine about an hour to think he was in charge maybe i just have a bad egg

Brian, the OST is about 2 inches larger so he is boss. I still have the spotted kole tang in QT. It took a turn for the worst yesterday. I think the PBT is about to get traded

He was cool to watch. Within minutes, he was grazing on the rocks and when I added meat before lights out, he was eating that as well.

This picture even smells nasty I guess I need to empty this

So the newer UV steralizer has a built in ozone feature. I dicided to hook it up a couple of days ago and give it a whirl. I also added my phosarHC online on Sunday. I think I will test my tank for the 1st time since the initial test. All I have been checking is my alk twice a day to make sure it is stable.

It hasn't changed that much since I posted the last FTS a week ago. I also know that it has not changed that much from 3 days ago when you were over

I was just reminded today that my wife is going to a baby shower this weekend Hmmm, so many options.

These two came in today. Some say levamisol is too harsh on a coral. I did a 5 hour intercepto dip, then a 35 levamisol dip and finished it up with a 10 min bath in revive.

I can only hope that this turns into something close to one that my buddy has.

Here is shot of my diamond goby that is over 3 years old

A $20 brown out buy frag that is tarting to like the new tank

This turaki is really picking up steam
