Very impressive Spanko!!!! I like it aolt, those LED's really make the corals pop! Just cuz I have an enquiring mind........ where are the tanks inhabitants? "Pygmy"? Hmmmmm hahaha I did not know you had one. I look foward to here how it gets along with the newbies.
Oh..... is that a fox tail?

The Pacific Pygmy has been in the tank for quite some time now. It has not yet bothered the Chromis at all, like they are not even there.
Are you talking about the fox coral Nemanzophyllia turbida? Yup. Got it as a tiny frag from Tropicorium.

Yes it is a watermelon chalice. When I first got it was the size of about a nickel. Bleached out for a while adjusting to my lighting at the time and my less than perfect placement of the coral I guess. But it has bounced back and is about the size of a 3x5 note card now with so many mouths I cannot count them.

I was surfin' the youtube waves and I saw a setup similar to yours but it had the sound of the thunder. I wish I knew how to put the url on this sites, would have sent it to you. It was almost as nice as yours.

Thanx Jerth. Am anxious to see how this new scape grows in over time. Have tried to leave enough room so I don't have to rescape or heaven forbid frag any of the coral other than the stupid monti caps that grows at an extreme rate and starts to shade other things. Plus I like the more open feel for the fish.

It does look as if you have a lot of room to grow! Don't ya like how it all comes together over time? Being able to go back on one thread to see where you have been and are currently at? How much lr do you have in it, because it looks like a lot, but lots of room also!

There is probably around 30-35 lbs. of rock total. Here is a history thread I started a while back and have not kept up. Something to update one of these days when I remember to do so but will give you an idea of what this tank has been through since its inception in January 2007. If you are interested that is.

Well I figured it was coming but looks like I am down to two Chromis now. Damn!
LOL...I started with 6 at the beginning of my tank (7/08).....1 died within a few days (new tank) 1 disappeared....lol...1 got sick...don't remember what happend to the other
BUT I have had 2 now for over a year+...they are always together...and never fight, so I am guessing they are a couple :)

I wonder if they do share the same space without knocking each other off in the fish store too. Would be interesting to note how many a store starts with in a shipment and how many they actually end up selling by the time the shipment is done.

Yeah the same thing happened with the Anthias I have now, started with 2 of them and they knocked off one. Still have two and it has been quite some time now so perhaps they are a happy couple, for now anywho.
Hoping the same happens with the remaining two chromis I guess.
