Awesome video...loving that tank. I can't believe how those little frags you got are already looking like they have major growth.

Very nice!

Brett your tank is amazing, the great aquascape and the open brighter feeling without the back being painted makes it a real pleasure to watch!! Can't wait to see it with your corals grown in even more than they already have!!

Nice vid Brett. The tank is looking real good; and the fishes sure appreciate the swimming room. Mr. Anthias is definitely excited about the new Mrs. Anthias. Maybe try a little salt peter in his grub.

I'm pretty sure as, I watched your cool video, I heard him say "Hubba hubba

hey baby check this out" Bet he's doing tricks to impress the girl

Funny thing is she barely even looks at him through it all

Saltpeter... that was a new one. Thank-you internet. Explains why the wife's cooking has tasted off lately.

Uh oh! Getting a little satisfaction deprivation lately?

Agreed

It'd take one hell of brightly lit room to be brighter! I'm hoping he calms down. Last I checked he does seem to be returning a bit to his older ways. The only casualties are his mouth and a big piece of my german blue digi which he must have run into. That coral is incredibly dense he must have a crazy headache right now.

Tank has a healthy dose of this sickly brown hair algae now in a few places... but literally only on the new rock I've pruchased. My rock from the 97g looks great and is spotless. Pretty interesting to me... the mature stuff is obviously not leeching nutrients like the other stuff.

I'm sure this is the same thing as admitting I should have cooked my rock but it should be under control pretty soon.

My anthias seems a bit calmer today. Now if only I could get the female to eat. She's certainly moving about the tank much more now.
