    Got a few new fish on Friday. I'm amazed that I actually got them all in the same shot.

    I'll be watching the nitrate levels with interest. If I can add this crew without a bump I think I'm in prety good shape.

    Are those purple queen anthias?

    Pretty, but hopefully you have luck with them. Most people can't keep them alive long.

    I really am a sucker for deepwater SPS myself. That's about the only type of coral I don't have in my tank ATM. You got a couple nice pieces of deepwater stuff.

    Also, that green bubble is nice as well.

    very nice! One day i'll feel comfortable enough to jump into a tank big enough to add whole schools of fish to.

    a-s-t-o-n-i-s-h-i-n-g. that tank is creeping with live all over, colorful too! that coral is just amazing along with one of the most impressive tanks i have EVER seen. I dont know how much more times i can say this but my last posts were almost identical to this. And it keeps getting better and better, simply an inspiration.

    O ya and that school of fish, a dream of mine. Looks amazing

    GTS your on a roll! Awesome looking reef. I had the same problem with those darn purple queen anthias and they all died. The orange ones are hardy and hold their own with no problem. I even had an isopod take a chunk out of one's dorsal fin but she grew it back like nothing. You might have better luck with a big school of them and the extra room. They were squeemish and shy with me. I might try again down the road if I lose any fish. So far I've kept all my fish in tack except the aforementioned. I don't want to crowd the tank as the corals will do that on their own.
    I bought a Sony CX500V camcorder so look for my threads. This is a sweet camcorder. Good luck!;)

    Thank you for the kind comments everyone. horkn seemed to capture a lot of folks questions all in his post so I'll address them here.

    Yes it has a very nice color that I didn't have in my tank yet. I had to rearrange a few pieces from over on that side to make room for him. I'm anxious to see how much space it takes up once it is settled in and fully expands. I'm also wathcing it to make sure that I don't have too much flow hitting it. Believe it or not, there is a good bit of flow making it to that corner from the powerhead at the far end of the tank. I already had to move a povona from its original location because of too much flow blowing its polyps off.
