    It's a good feeling when you get to that point. Hope you have time to sit and enjoy it!

    Thanks Cheryl. :)

    I figure with how I feed, anything bad should have happened within the first two weeks.

    And there's already 16 fish in there. :p

    2 more johnsoni females are planned to make a harem if I get the opportunity. Then I'll only be buying things if any rarities become available.

    I do need some more inverts. I want to grab one of those dreaded L-word starfish 8-10 months down the road; I'd love to find a purple one. I think this should be enough tank to sustain one...

    Not much room for corals, actually.

    Thanks John.

    Thanks Jerry. There's finally been time for lots of staring lately.

    Thanks Andy. It's lacking some blue the WT piece has, but has more green highlights instead. However, the colony is low in their tank. I really should get some pictures of their tank; it's a very nice 5' x 6' x 30" monster, elevated at eye level.

    Hey, if all goes well, I know someone you can get a frag from down the road. ;)

    Random Question, If you use Cubes of Mysis, How many do you think you go through in a day? lol I went through 7 yesterday without any being wasted...

    I don't use cubes; I buy sheets of PE mysis. But probably 1.5-2 a day equivalently; not really sure.

    7 sounds like an awful lot, however. Whether eaten or not, those phosphates still come out the backend. :p

    True... But between all 15 of my fish eating it... and Ensuring the Tarmarins get a few pieces each round it adds up with a few larger fish and a Trigger. lol

    Im hoping to wean them back after they settle in.

    I hope you get those 2 females soon :p Would be fun to see a nice Trio.

    Thanks Travis. I was very pleased for things to settle in smoothly.

    Thank you.
