Well If you use regular paint then with a Latex it will come right off so it wont be a commitment. I am sure it did finish it off. I have 80# of Dead rock and going to get 45-50# of live rock for the tank also. Just cant wait to get in in there lol.. Yeah, that will be awesome having the shrimp/goby combo.....

Those do look like Allards to me as well. Good score! I thought you were just going with regular Perculas or Ocellaris.
Smart move doing the black background on the 75. I would suggest having one on the QT as well, it can help cut down on stress.
Is there water in the 75 yet? I might be more anxious than you to see this get filled!!! Haha

Thanks, Yeah that is what I thought about them also, they just do not look like Clarkii, yeah I guess I did get a deal seeing that i got the pair for 18.00 lol ha ha..Yes I am going to put a Black background on the QT also... I wanted to go with Ocellaris, but I say these and the looked different, so I got them.. Hop e I am not going to be disappointed about going with them. They have been good so far with no problems. There is not yet but there will be before the night is over.. LOL

Wow, that was a long read. LOL
When I started reading this I thought for sure the last few pages would be of a tank filled with water, corals, and fish. But life does happen and sometimes things get put off. Better to put them off when it does not effect something living. Now I am going to jump on the band wagon and beg for pics of your tank filled with water!!!!
Come on Scott you can do it!!!! LOL
