Thanks Phil. I spoke with sonny (not that it was a big deal) it is winter time but he said he would hook me up next order.. The dragon eyes haven't really opened up much hopefully they just need more time.

I think i'm gunna bust out the Minolta, YES I SAID MINOLTA! 35mm and get a macro lens since all i can find is an original Tele-photo lens. Somewhere I think we have a full setup to develop them minus the chemicals

Honestly bax.. we have a pair of Skunks and pair of True Percs no problems in the 55.. actually the skunks got the percs to start hosting a nem.

I think even though they are anemone fish they don't look anything alike so there is no inter-species aggression

A couple shots and The on going battle with Green microalgae.... I just need a few more parts and i'll have a sump for this tank and be able to put a phos reactor online and get rid of this algae

Two shots I have here.. One Very Beautiful RBTA from DaveH, This thing really pops under the actinics and another RBTA from OCGII. While the OCGII RBTA pops on it's ends nothing like the intensity that a Reefer Grown RBTA does.

I picked up some Chemi Pure and a Algae Blenny in the battle agains microalgae.. also learned a tidbit about New Life Spectrum Pellets. Apparently they ARE a good pellet but, contains Mussel which has a TON of Organics in it and probably my cause. so i picked up some Omega 2 pellets

i want to state for the record i really hate this tank.... it is doing good with minimal maintenance and coming together nicley i really hate the size. The front to back of tank is too shallow and the stand well.. you know you can't fit anything down there, ugh...

some pics soon we just got in a sweet shipment for this tank :)
