[rgentry123]

i think jealousy pretty much sums it all up. :eek1:

 

[mandynm]

Wow, absolutely gorgeous view and amazing shots of fish and the stories.

 

[Underwood]

John - Random question on something I had noticed previously on your big FOWLR tank... is there any rhyme or reason why you have two Moorish Idols in one section, and a lone Moorish Idol in the other?

 

[HOBrien]

Copps: Do you use a UV sterilizer on your Large FOWLR tank? IF so what do you use?

 

[stunreefer]

Sounds like an awesome trip so far! :thumbsup:

I'm jealous sitting here in zero degree weather as its snowing :worried:

John.. just went thru the entire thread. Impressive to say the least!!

I have had success keeping a Regal Angel (Over 2.5 yrs) and recently add a Coral Beauty, Flame and Potters (with in last 4 months). All doing well.

Your tank has always been an inspiration and the reason for me adding Angels to my reef. Keep the updates coming!!

Hey guys, I'm finally back in town after a long trip... I have a lot of catching up to do and I will get back to everyone soon...

That photo was taken from my hotel room in Tumon Bay, Guam in the Marianas Islands of Micronesia... that was my fifth trip to Guam... as mentioned on the way out I stopped in Osaka, Japan and on the way back in Hawaii... again I'll catch up soon...

Thanks,

Copps

Not hating at all! I'm backed up with things I have to share with everyone... I just returned from a vacation to Florida with the family where I spoke to FMAS and did some diving and collecting with Julian Sprung... got a bunch of small angels! I'll catch up this weekend and respond to everyone... my apologies again!

On the topic of the H. bermudensis, she's doing well... but now mottled!

 

[maxxII]

Interesting......what do suppose would cause the color change like that?

Nick

 

[myerst2]

captivity probably is causing the fish to revert to it's normal colors. T

 

[LisaD]

what caused the aberrant color in the wild? and what about captivity has caused it to darken? is it nutritional? light?

 

[myerst2]

No one knows for sure. The theories that I have heard include diet. Also another common theory is that the fish acquire a benign fungus when they are young which causes the odd coloration. T

 

[southstar066]

got the kid on skates yet?
