tried my first HD Video with my Cannon 7d , found out it's a lot tougher than it looks to shoot a good video . I now have even more respect for those of you that post videos that look so professional. Hopefully next attempt turns out a little better.
I have added in a few more fish as well , most notably a juvi Goldflake ( may be hybrid , still waiting for it to finish changing color ) and a larger Copperband that has been in my quarantine for over 5 weeks , and I'm happy to report is eating extremely well. I have tried many times over the years to get one that would survive more than a few months , hopefully this is one. I love them not just for the Aptasia control , but I find them a great looking fish as well. Fish total in tank now is 30 . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hljTHY55_Zk&hd=1 Updated video of fish room area - please ignore back wall of tank , as I'm in the process of removing paint to repaint it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9shRB6BYKg Last edited by Rus; 02-06-2011 at 07:41 PM.

Thanks , as far as Goldflake so far so good...... he's eating well on most foods I put in , and with all my Anthias in the tank it is fed at least 3 to 4 times a day , so hoping this will limit his picking on too many corals . Goldflakes have not "too bad" a rap for picking on corals , and I wanted a few angels in my tank so though I would give it a go. Time will tell I guess.

Thought I would try to keep a small progress report on some new fish that I have in Quarentine. Last week I picked up 13 Red Spt Cardinals from Paul at Oceanic Corals . They had been in for about 3 to 4 days at his shop , and all 13 were doings well , and eating almost everything he had put in. I have had them at home now in Quarentine for 5 days and all are eating , flake , cyclopeeze and small mysis . If all goes well I plan to give them 2 to 3 weeks and fatten them up a bit before trying them in my Main Tank.
I know some people , myself included have had a hard time being successful with these , which is why I thought I would let people know how I make out , hoping it all goes well , as they add some a cool part to any tank in my opinion.I will try to update every few weeks to amonth at the beginning for anyone interested Couple of pics today , ( very quick so hard to get many in a pic )
