[LowersMyBP]

Give it time, that feeling will pass.

I wouldn't bet against Jon

 

[Fragtastic Reef]

Looks really good. You using board on the bottom?

 

[Jonty]

Yep its 3/8" grey CPVC sheet, I use it on all my builds

 

[Jonty]

well I added some more fish and corals curtesy of Chad Vossen, some beautiful lobos and a watanabei angel pair and a Joculator pair. the Joc;'s are in QT but the rest are in the main tank. I also snagged a CIRRHILABRUS CF LANCEOLATUS Super Male. I will post the Joculators next week once they are in the main tank.

SON-OF-A!!!!
When! When! When can this fish be viewed in person?!

And the Joculators; of course.

CIRRHILABRUS CF LANCEOLATUS

Where the heck did you manage to find that one? Don't most of those get snatched up in Japan and LA?

That is a good question.
I've somewhat stalked the Splendid Pintail Fairy Wrasse in the past, LA-DD had two specimens over a year ago and NYA had one this past fall/winter. I was really tempted with the NYA fish, but I waited too long and it sold. Now, I feel regret.

I picked him up from NYA, Mike said it was the best one he had ever had , so I had to get it

I'll have to keep an eye out there in the future. It sucks that Pacific Island is gone.

 

[eschulist]

Awesome pickups! Have you rescheduled a reef meeting so people can check this tank out!?!

 

[Jonty]

Well I'm bummed the lineatus wrasse was out yesterday and feeding seemed fine, today he is missing in action. I think I may have to many fish!!!!!

Very nice!
It appears that the Joculators have settled in rather well.

There's still room for more fish, just ask Marty.

I hate it when wrasses pull a Houdini. Especially when they seem perfectly fine...

That camera is pretty cool. At night you can see the fish's eyes reflect the IR light.

Or MrLee.
