Glad your passion for reefing is reignited! I never made it down there but always heard about your epic frag swaps at your place. So the most important question I have for you... How's your health?

TFP, I'm hoping to host a frag swap in the future. So perhaps we will entice you to come down for a visit. I got a clean bill of health last year and am doing great, thanks for asking.

Pulled the camera out this weekend and mostly shot some fish pics.

This coral I have had for close to a year and it's developing nice blue tips on the coral, growth is not much, but when all my parameters are dialed in the color is great.

The girlfriend's Achilles

Purple Rim Cap

Two Montis with nice growth

Red Sea Regal and Bellus

Starki Damsel

Borbonious

Gold flake Angel

Male Bellus Angel

I don't know what these are called. Many years ago they were rumored to eat red bugs. I find them pretty and have maybe as many as 10 of them in the tank. They are spread out all over the tank. But when the lights go off 5-6 of them huddle together inside a Blue Rim monti cap.

Feeding Time. Wish I could get clearer and sharper pcitures of this nature, but my camera skills are very basic.

Your wifes Achilles is beautiful! You are becoming an awesome photographer my friend!

My dream size tank. Having a school of yellow tang flying around would be so awesome...

 

[Newbie Aquarist]

Those are Springers Damselfish.

"Wife" --- Man you really are pushing it and you haven't even met her yet - LOL
Still working on the photo skills, they are very inconsistent. To get those 10 photos I probably shot 60. Thank god for digital.

The yellows are great fish. I have always kept a group of purples and yellows in the tank. They provide such great color and activity to the tank.

I have 5 Tunze's hidden amoung the rock work. But the Tunzes and Surge tank turn off for the 45 minutes before lights on, and during the lights turning on phase (another 30 minutes). And all the zebrasoma (regardless of purple or yellow) go from swimming in the open water of the tank, to a pack algae grazing across the tank. And seeing them moving in and out amoungst the corals picking at the rock and coral bases is really beautiful to watch.

Now that's a tidbit of knowledge that I need. These are great little community fish and when the lights hits them right they just sparkle.

Thanks for the proper name !

No Gems, You might have seen the purple, who is very dark, or perhaps one of the Chevrons.

Thanks for the compliments.

I have a 25 year old Harlequin Macaw, who is 42" from head to tail. Sometimes he hangs out in front of the tank.

He has no problem fragging corals, and can bite through Zeo Rocks

Dave,

Why not get a pair of Gem Tangs? Not a big mountain for a climber like you!

 

[FuzzyZipperbaum]

great read!

Dave,

Climber like me??? What are you talking about? I don't even climb out of bed, I can only roll to the end and try not to fall!

I'm not saying I wouldn't, but definitely not something I 'want'....

How about some interruptus ?
The fish crazy group order a few

 

[o2manyfish]

Lawrence,

I'm going to avoid your crazy fish group, your track record isn't so good

I've got so many angels now and everyone is well behaved.

I would consider a tiny joculator or small interruptus. But at the moment, I just setup a new 150g outdoor frag tank and am busy playing with that. So no fish budget at the moment, only looking for browned out SPS.
