Thanks!

Couple from the top tank














The only Zoos I have that didn't get touched by the nutibranchs, guess they taste bad?

Pics from the bottom tank, sorry the water isn't very clear, recently changed most of the equipment out.

Thanks

The peppermint hog is a deeper water fish, it took a little while for it to adjust to the lighting but seems to be more comfortable now. Seem very timid to me, doesn't pick on any other fish and keeps to itself. I believe other hog fish may be aggressive but not the peppermint.

The tank size is 3' x 3' x 2' about 130 gallons. Tank mates include; clown goby, flame hawkfish, 2 firefish, regal and yellow tang, spotted mandarin, scooter blenny, geometric hawkfish, lemonpeel angel, potters angel, bluestreak pipefish, a mated pair of false percs, chalk bass, banggai cardinalfish. May be one or two more I've forgotten about.

How far from the tank are you taking these? Tripod mounted?
That lens gets nice pictures. Can you post the rest of the lens specs?
