I am really liking having the filing cabinets up here now so when I do paperwork now, I can actually multitask and stare at the fish tank while doing mundane tasks of filing and "working". Sometime soon I will move my router and printer up here. I will actually be placing my printer underneath my fish tank since my sump is in the basement.

Thanks Laurier. This is actually my second goldflake angel. About a year ago when I was stocking the tank I tried a juvenile goldflake - it just got picked on and only lasted 3 days. A lot of $ down the drain. I'm actually the 3rd owner of this specimen. Bluetang<3 had it first, then the Codfather then myself.

I tried feeding my fish bananas tonight, it was fun and the fish thought it was a blast. We got a new fish today (My wife actually asked for it for Valentine's Day) - it's a Niger Trigger and it loved the bananas. Here's a couple of short video clips.

Sorry for the crappy quality - it's just a cell phone video on the fly.

No, years ago we fed our FOWLR tank bananas. Our lunar wrasse used to love it. I think some aquariums feed bananas to the fish too. Doesn't mean it's right though. I know that my fish go bananas (drum roll) for it

I always wondered how they harvested the banana's out in the middle of the Ocean. I see I am not the only one maybe. Bet the pay is great.

Just an update of the size of my corals. These 2 corals were only about 4" when I got them - typical store sized colony. I used my computer as a reference for size. Sorry, cell phone pics:
