Maybe somebody will remember the years when I had five Leopard Wrasses. Here's a pic of my n00bie.

Nice Bipartus Gary! My fav of the Macropharyngdon wrasses.

 

[Gary Majchrzak]

Macropharyngodon bipartus are very nice Leopards. The red highlights on the rear of this fish really make it stand out much more so than a meleagris.
Pic taken with the same "cheap" camera, Scott. (Canon A510 3.2 megapixel)
As always, more pix to follow.

I am considering a sandbed just for one of those

 

[Gary Majchrzak]

Good enough reason for sand!
The availability lists from Sea Dwelling Creatures are using scientific names lately. MAC certified fish are also noted. This doesn't really guarantee anything, but it's definitely a step in the right direction. Here are my new MAC certified WC Percs.

nice!!!!

Ctenochaetus striatus
Subtly beautiful, this fish turned out to be a great algae and detritus eating machine.

the sun is swinging towards the southern hemisphere and I'm getting more sunshine in my aquarium now (mid September).

Good question, Kent. For comparison

same coral under 400w 14kk Hamilton SE lamp and VHO actinics no sunlight. This is a very nice coral that was previously growing under PC's. I have high hopes for this one!

No full tank shots yet. I've tried. I need the sun to set a couple of hours sooner than it currently does or I get really bad reflections.

Hey Gary,
Nice Monti! If that's from me, it was under 400 watt halides. Only the red Monti was grown under PC lighting.

 

[Gary Majchrzak]

Well I'll be a monkey's uncle: seems like this coral acclimated quickly. No wonder!

 

[Gary Majchrzak]

Seven months up and running
