Hi Jason! Check out the sponsors here at RC. There are some pretty sweet deals! DFS also has a forum and you can ask questions and they will actually answer, usually within a couple hours. Even the Vets respond. 
Hey Ratpack, my 2nd Solaris is in the area and hopefully I can get it home tonight and set up. I'll get some new pics then.
Hi Joe! How ya doin? Is your overflow leak proof?

I had found a place that breeds them but they were outrageously expensive for buying silversides. Apparently, they are easy to acclimate to saltwater. They are a fresh water fish.
Which really kind of confuses me because I've always read that fresh water fish aren't good for saltwater predators.

Thanks for the link, Booze! I wasn't aware of the Atlantic silverside which is a saltwater species. It gives me a lot more information to perform searches, that's for sure!
Hi Jason! How's your tank and your daughters tank doing?
Victor! How the heck are you man?!?!? It's great to see that your anemone hasn't EATEN you yet! :lol:
I stopped at the store and bought some Trochaes snails and scarlett hermits and added them to the tank.
When we setup the 120g, one of the first fish we added was a little yellow tail damsel. Patti would get a kick out of standing at the tank, yellow tail would swim over to her, and she would put her finger up to the glass. Yellow tail would turn black and swim away, then he would turn around and swim back to her. This would be repeated for quite some time. It was hilareous to sit and watch.
Well, I bought Patti a present for the 450. A little yellow tail damsel. Poor thing looks REALLY small in this tank though. :lol:
We still have the original yellow tail in the 120g too.

My tank is doing well. I am switching it to SPS dominated. Megans tank however is another story! Cyano city! I think we are getting a handle on it though. She is really responsible with the maintenance on it.

Victor..... :lol:
Hi Cracker! How you doin?
The 450 is doing great! It's looking better each and every day. Algae is starting to die off. I'm sure it's from me using tap (well) water for the initial fill. We've done 200g of WC's so far with RO/DI and the snails are going to town.
The other tank we want to get is for our predators. We were running our finger up and down the glass of the 150 and the clown trigger would follow your finger around. It was amusing until he LUNGED at our fingers to take a chunk out. Fortunately, just like Victor, there is a 1/2" thick piece of glass protecting us. :lol:
Oh yeah.... Those guys need a bigger tank.
