I tried a Rainford and it became too close of friends with my mp40. Yours looks like he's already comfortable. Best of luck. Nice blennies too....3 wow ...are they ORA?

Thanks guys... as you know my photo skills are lacking. I got them from Biota Aquariums at MACNA. So far so good. They are very active. They are picking at foods but not eating voraciously at the moment.

Hey Eric,

No they don't seem to care about each other at all. I haven't seen any sort of aggression. They look quite different as far as shape so maybe that's part of it?

Is it just the one RBTA in there?

Man I wish I got one of the colorado sunbursts when they were a few hundred bucks. Stinks that they are like $1800 now :/

Anything you plan to pick up at RAP? I think you should just throw the hail mary and get a homewrecker frag. Just go 0 to 100 on SPS in the tank real fast.

Also the fact that those 1" fish are in a hugemongous tank with only a few roommates. May not even see each other for weeks.

Just one. First day it split and I gave the split away. Its from PCIScott, he's had it for many years. Its a nice pink with green. Nothing crazy but its nice and bright. My daughter loves it. Yeah its crazy how much the LE nems are these days! Crazy prices... some still sell for less though but you have to be quick. I like the Sherman Rose and they seem to be a lot less money. Scott has a crazy nice Colorado Sunburst in his tank. They are awesome just too rich for my blood.

Its going to be a long weekend and late Sunday, so I don't think I'll be going too crazy. I am waiting on a few extra pieces to set up my cal rx for delivery tomorrow. I've got a couple generous friends that are going to set me up with coral when I'm ready. I'm sure I'll have the bug at RAP. I won't be able to resist not getting at least a few pieces. I also want to get some clowns. My QT is empty so I'm ready for some more fish.

Probably true.

Haha could be why.

Nice. Im tempted to build one but sourcing the parts seems like such a pain in the ***. Are you having to tweak the system much or is the effluent solid off the manifold?

Thats a nice sump too, I like the color. Built by AA too?

Is your skimmer compartment level with your return? Right now I am trying to silence my aquarium via Herbie method on an elos overflow but my return keeps area keeps dropping, need to tweak it so return=drain rate.
