The anthias are in my QT and will stay there for about 4-6 weeks I'll try and take pics soon. I have 2 fire shrimp and they basically hang in the crevices and caves until food is introduced into the tank and then they bolt out scavenging for food Harry

I think this is a great idea. I hope it keeps going Harry

I had mexican turbo's that took care of my hair algae problem in my old tank. Hopefully if i have the same issue in my new tank they will take care of it again good luck Harry

How do you get such amazing pictures is it the lense? I'm guessing your using a macro lens? I'm amazed everytime i look at your pics Harry

I actually stopped in AO today and picked up 1 male lyretail anthias and 2 female lyretails all MAC certified. They're being acclimated and will reside in my backup tank for 4-6 weeks and then into my display. I'm still going to be adding the bimacs though. I think the males are awesome colored...

The fish in the pics were one's i already had, they are not new and I QT all new fish that i get, just my preference. My wish list is below and i will be adding to it as my tank will evolve. 3 Bimaculatis Anthias or Red stripe anthias 1 Copperband Butterfly - has to be eating before purchasing...

I completely agree, i think it's all relative in the end. what is expensive to one person might not be a big deal to another.

I didn't mean you i meant the original thread that the seller had posted

It will only get worse for us. I heard on the radio today that the NJ BPU gave approval to the utility companies to raise rates in the range of 10-30%. lucky us Harry

I agree completely, i am in the process now and will be doing the above

thanks, i saw that post but i think i'm good for now on fish. I have a "to buy" list that i am sticking to it and will be adding slowly. Harry

that's insane, there is no way i would pay 150+ for 1 polyps, and besides it doesn't look that interesting

absolutely amazing corals. hopefully my tank will look that good some day. I love the macro shot amazing detail on the corals Harry

Well my fish went into their new home on Saturday and all is well. Below are some quick pics that i took. both my batteries were dead or i would have taken better pics. As soon as they are charged i'll post some better pics. Flame angel, my favorite fish, i know they get a bad rap sometimes but...

I believe they are called tiger striped starfish and they can be predatory and are definately opportunistic if they are hungry. Harry

I think if you use a 2 island design it should be fine, but if your going to have rock all across the tank then i would probably do 3 250MH's instead. it will give you more even coverage. But more importantly it would all depend on the type of coral you are planning on keeping thanks Harry

your better off using 2 heaters as apposed to one just incase one fails the other will keep working. But if you only have one and it fails you SOL. good luck Harry

Wow, ok i learned something new today about using bleach and live rock. I still wouldn't do it IMO but hey if it been proven to work with no ill effects then who am i to buck progress. Harry

Curing rock isn't exactly complicated. I know everyone has their own way of doing things but the generally accepted method is as follows -- First, pull off as much organic matter as you can along with any soft spots, but in the case of marco rock it's dry so no need to pull off any deacying...

I thought it kinda broke up the tank in a way and i like the way that it looks. Good luck with your 180 Harry
