Thanks for the kind words, i will be adding FTS pics tomm. along with some other pieces that i havnt shot yet.

 

I'm not a big fan of Anthias, but that one is awesome, looks like he has a spiked mohawk.

I am a big fan of anthias, mainly because of their pink and orange hues, but this is by fair my favorite one, and one of the only ones suitable for my size tank, plus hes "rare"

Great Pictures! What type of lens are you using. I am in the market for a macro lens, and I assume that is what you are using on your close-ups. Thank you.

That fire acan is evil looking man, nice.

 

Thanks, I pick it up from a local reefer, I'm looking for some nice rainbows. Hopefully I can find some at a good price

 

 

#####in awesome tank man how much did you pay for the Purple Hornet.:)

 

I appreciate it, ther purple hornets came from the same local reefer as the acans, he has an amazing set-up and got everything for an amazing price

Looking good bud. PM me with who you got all the new stuff from. I wana make another trip to indy and make some trades. Also, Do you have a teal colored Monti cap? Your FTS looked like it, but its hard to tell. If so then i would make ya a trade for a frag of it.
