Thanks, I wish I could take better pictures. The tank isn't quite that blue. I see some people have awsome pictures. I am guessing they are using nice cameras, I just have a point and shoot digital.

Awesome. The frag rack looks happy. What fans are you running?

Here are some chalice I got yesterday. My poor photo skills don't do these chalice justice.

I am not sure on the fans, I got them off ebay a couple years back. I think they were like 55 or 60 shipped for the size I got.

I think it is great. I know they have a premium version coming out with active cooling which would be nice. I wanted to get the ATI sun power but it didn't come in an 8 bulb and the ATI power module was out of my price range.

I just ordered a pair of Picasso Clowns from Live Aquaria. They said they were B grade, and they may be on the side you couldn't see, but the side the picture was taken from was grade A. I wanted to post the picture, but once I bought them the picture was gone. They will be shipped Monday, and delivered Tuesday. I wanted the Platinums they had on there but the wife wouldn't approve a $600 pair of fish.

Picassos coming tomorrow...can't wait!

Yeah, now I am looking at like 700+ to do a 20L like I want.

Here are the clowns after acclimation, and light acclimation.



I couldn't get a picture without the flash that wasn't blurry.

Here is a quick little video.

20L is going to be a frag tank. I am tired of all the racks in my display tanks. Although I will have to keep a couple in to grow out some of the frags I get.

My 3 helfrichi firefish and a bluespot jawfish arrived yesterday and are now in QT after a quick dip.

Bad pics, had to use the flash, but here they are.

No love for the fish or the acans?

Yesterday was a sad day. My sailfin tang I had for about 2 months mysteriously died yesterday and was sucked up to the vortech. Night before he was swimming around fine and ate and looked great like he always had.
