Looks great Dave! You know, sometimes I wonder (especially over the winter) putting in hours at the zoo, why the hell I'm doing this. And then the other day, I was working on the tank, and you hear kids squealing in delight, Nemo!, Dory!, Bubbles! and adults being temporarily mesmerised by the beauty of our simple little reef and it makes it all worth it. So I am glad your kids enjoy your tank. Very cool stuff!

Ditto...

The other night the little one was just a little fussy, I think she was looking for some stimultation (she was bored). I walked over to the tank and just stood as she watched (Bubbles) the elegent Blue Jaw Trigger as she swam from side to side. Baby settled and after a few minutes we sat back down and she was out in no time.

Now that is priceless!!!

[larrybird]

Looks great Dave!! What does it for me is when my cat sits and looks at the tank and then leaps and bounces off the glass trying to catch something that swam by. LOL

 

[Bobtail1075]

Your cat huh? Seriously how many times have you done that larrybird, and trying to blame it on the cat huh.. LOL

 

[daveverdo]

The damsel (Princess), gramma (Grandma), and foxface (Roxy) are all doing great. They are out swimming around and eating along with the two clowns (Chucky and Tommy).

All the corals, both old and new, seem to love the new tank. I don't know whether it is the lighting (3 x 54W T5 10,000K and 1 x 54 T5 Actinic) or the space or the nice new water, but all off them are fully open and just look happy.

I'll post some more pictures when I get a chance. Off now to see if I can get my lawn to that nice.
