Hold your horses, I'm downloading 700 pics from the camera and hopefully there are a few good ones. Idaho, is that central or mountain time zone? It might take a while to find some good ones out of the batch.

Wouldn't it be neat if you could fast forward in time.....The corals going into the tank are so small and the tank is so big. Hopefully I will be able to find some nice size fish to add some color while the corals are taking off.

I can't believe the second shot I took actually turned out OK. You can see most of the tank along with the 8 new green chromis in the center of the tank. (you have to look closely)

 

[goodwin9]

They look a little bigger the closer you get to the tank........

 

[maingo]

cool good pics

 

[goodwin9]

They found a good place to hide....

 

[goodwin9]

The little guys I got last week are about 1/3 the size of the ones that arrived today. They are keeping their distance from the big boys.

lookin great... do you know what the life expectancy on the baby chromis is? they shure are cool when they school like that!!!!!!!!! :jumping: :jumping: :jumping: :happyfish

 

[psusocr1]

darn thos ecrhomis you got today are pretty big!

 

[goodwin9]

Also received 4 anthias today, 1 male & 3 females. Male decided to hide in the rocks and never did come out ot get his picture taken.

 

[goodwin9]

Also got a couple of scooters that took a while for me to find in the tank. Had a hard time getting a good shot of them.

Your tank is starting to take shape.

I hope to see more pictures as it progresess.

By the way you are an amazing reef keeper.

Any idea if the scooters are male and female? I've heard they will spawn in captivity (however I haven't heard of successfully raising the offspring). When I get my big tank I am hoping to get a mated pair of scooters.

Great pics Goodwin! :cheer: Your tank is actually big enough to showcase a school of fish and they really act like a school. VERY COOL!

Love the anthias, one of the prettiest fish I think.

What do scooters eat? My wife wants one. I thought they were like dragnets and needed lots of pods.

I think that they do, I have seeded the tank with pods and the other reason I have put them in so early is that in my other tanks, they are eating brine shrimp and hope that these wil too.

Do they eat live or frozen?
