Always Learning
12/7 UPDATE:
Got some Lepidozygus tapeinosoma from Capistrano Reef today. I had never seen them before and no one knew what they were. I took a video and posted it on RC and I had my answer in the first 15 min (such a great resource).
These shocked me more than any other fish I have ever had for a couple of reasons. First, I had never seen one before and that was intreguing unto itself. But more interestingly, they CHANGE COLORS! When I got them they were kind of a dark dull blue, but they were schooling fish and at a pretty good price so I got them. When I got them into the tank, they turned a dark green, and throughout the period of an hour they changed from blue to green to light green to purple to orange and back to purple and green. Super cool and very interesting to watch.
Here is a little video of them in the store, just CLICK it
There isnt much info on these guys, so I will try to learn what I can and make a log on them.
On another note, I also fixed my sketchy plumbing situation (I had a 3/4" soft vinyl tube pressure fitted, with the help of near boiling water, into a 1" barbed fitting, which didnt seem all that safe)
Also tested water levels on the sump with the power off to make sure that the return plumbing didnt back siphon too much.
This was the skimmer today, after about 24 hrs of skimming!

They dont fit in my canopy by a quarter of an inch!
