Hey There,

Been awhile since I updated, but the good news is, all is well. The past few months the tank has been doing great. I was too busy with wedding plans to update tank photos. For some of us this is more than just a hobby, it's a lifestyle. And if you're going to have a nickname like o2manyfish -- well you gotta live up to the rep.

So for my wedding, my bride, on her own without any advice from me, picked the location - The Aquarium of the Pacific! And it turned out to be a beautiful venue...

So Wedding photos with fishes!!!


No, I did not tell the photographer to keep taking pictures till the Clarion Angel swims into view.



My wife telling me, now was not the time to reach in and pick out the aptasia





Sure everyone takes a picture with Jellyfish


But how many people get to kiss while being eyed by a bonnet head shark?


Our Ceremony took place in front of a 3 story aquarium...


And of course you gotta dress the part.

So here is what the tank has been doing while I was busy making plans to get hitched.

After some erratic behavior from the CO2 regulator 1/2 this gorgeous colony was lost. It's still looking good though, and I hope to grow it back.


Hard to capture but this coral is rich deep purple with bright green polyps

It seems like everyone with some long term experience with Montis eventually tries to get them to all grow together. So here is my collection or red, Seasons Greetings, Idaho Grape, Aussie Blue and the Grafted.













Red planet









I have no idea what this is growing out... Someone this past week saw it and thought Strawberry Shortcake, but I don't recall getting a SSC to start the colony.




I broke my own rule about making sure corals of similar colors aren't next to each other when aquascaping... And look what happens, 2 beautiful blue stags grow next to each other and the uniqueness of 2 is lost into the confusion of what appears to be 1



Sold to me as a Cali Tort



And the whole darn thing


Fish population is stable and doing well. Added some more Dispar to the existing group. Added some Bar Gobies.

And last Saturday night I caught my Flameback Angels Spawning !!!! The Anthias were well fed that night.
