i saw a video of two of these on a controller. you could almost tip your tank over if you're not careful!

i noticed my new bubble coral was starting to brown, so i added a 28w T5 strip to my existing 130w PC. this gives a much more pleasing colour temp. :D but i had to reduce the exposure time to improve clarity...reducing brightness. it is definitely time for a new camera.

my aiptasia problem has receeded. i can see less than a dozen heads and i have some juice for them. ;)

my blue sponge grows a lot faster than i expected. when i get more tanks set up for propagation, it is definitely on the list to prop.

hair algae is dying off. it was introduced with new LR, as i expected it. twice a week water changes and a more efficient skimmer has delt with it nicely. some unwanted macro is colonizing the left portion of my tank. it's not unpleasant, but i'll try to further reduce nutrients to kill it off.

eventually, i'll be adding an overflow, 10g sump, and 10g display refugium with seahorses. better, random circulation will be added. a few more ricordea and this system is done.

The colours are just amazing on that picture. Not saying don't get a new camera (far be it for me to get in the way of getting a new toy!!), but really, the colours are just amazing there.

Very nice Spencer!
Is that a Lemonpeel Angelfish?
What about the Clown? Red and Black? (Amphiprion melanopus?) Is it hosting in that Bubble?

Cheers,

thanks Mark! it's a lemonpeel angel, and a tomato clown. the tomato clown does host the bubble. i really like the lemonpeel...he's gorgeous. but he keeps trying to eat my finger leather!
