Very nice tank!

I've never really seen her eat frozen foods and I've only tried spot feeding her a few times when I first got her. But shes got plenty of pods in the DT and shes fat and happy, so there is no need to spot feed her.

Her name is: Ashley Gellar

You should also check out Mindi Smith and Hilary Fisher.

Read your thread from start to finish. You have an very nice tank with some very nice fishes. Just keep on eye on the parameters-either buy some test kits or at least have your main parameters tested by your LFS on a reular basis.

A very nice tank anyhow. Those 1000w of light wil cost a bucketload of $'s each month! But your a lucky young lad to get al this equipment.
