Fair enough.
I have considered using diamond netting also....I have open top so like you have stayed away from wrasses though I got a four line. He is such a fat pig now though I don't think jumping would work for him anymore....from what I understood they tend to bury themselves...which is one of the reasons I picked him.

I think you went to Aqua Oceans in Toms River, which is a small LFS. He is a great guy and if you check his calender which he updates when he gets shipments in, he has great prices. I got my picasso clowns from him and they were an awesome price. The AO we generally talk about is Aquatic Obsessions which is further north (off of 129 on the parkway). If you have free time this weekend check it out, really nice fish and prices. He is also having specials on the new koralia pumps and if you buy one you get 25% off of livestock.
im gonna try to get up there today. i should be leaving in about an hour. the first 2 stops are trop and reef to reptiles. depending on how broke my boss and i are after that we'll ride up to AO and OG2...mnat said:
i hope noone took what i said about Aqua wrong. i meant no harm to his business. he is pretty cool. we talked a bit and i learned a few things from him. i was just really surprised because i thought that was the AO everyone raved about...ive seen pics that came from AO and when my wife and i pulled up ???.....i was just expecting something entirely different..lol....now that i got the names right, i feel better...Aqua did have a cool little zoa frag i should have gotten, but i (shame on me) dont qt, so i gotta choose from the cleanest tanks possible since im already playing with fire. i do however do a peroxide then iodine dip before they go into the tank.
i had a pretty successful trip today. i didnt get further than the trop and r2r though. greg at reef to reptiles was great! i really like the store he has. i picked up my first acan and blasto from him. very nice frags! i also picked up a blue acro and a green milli from the trop and a green clown goby for my wifes tank. thanks mnat for the lead to gregs place. ill most definitly return. ill post some picks tommorrow if i can get good shots. next trip i plan to start out around AO and work south.
i should have my new light by the end of the week. it will be 2 15k x250 mh with 4 t5's. what would the best way to change over from the t5's im using? i really cant move too many pieces since they are glued. is it better to start the light out high or just shorten the light cycle. i can move my acan and brain to the bottom but everything else is stuck tight
You will probably need to do some light acclimation. You can do it two ways, run the T5s most of the day and start the MH for an hour or so and work it up. The other way is so cover your tank with screen or another material (several layers) and then remove a layer at a time. Since your fixture has the T5s which you can run most of the day, I think the time acclimation will be easier for you.
