Hello @Lasse Is that a fathead sunburst anthias in the photo? I thought about making this addition to my 40 gallon, but Im not sure if one would be happy as the only one.
 
Man I completely understand. My tank has never felt the same since my fish died. Replacing them has been harder than I thought it would.

My lfs had these today and I thought about you. Horrible pics

Good size too
 
I don't think the baby is ready for Arby's RB&C.
Glad you're out and about.
Shhhhh he doesn’t have to know that
 
I'm sure you've gotten this question a thousand times.. how is the baby? I heard something about.. arbies?
Honestly he’s doing really good! We’ve been able to get good sleep and he’s been a thrill to have at our house! @smitten with ocean life heres your photo too! This was maybe 20-30 min at our apartment before we went to Arby’s. Been going back and forth between our house and Arby’s

@Lasse, mine looks exactly like that. I'm also 99% sure mine is a Blue Lip but it was listed at the LFS just as a Bristletooth.
 
Do you guys think if I keep running this new RO system and fill up the trash can all the way.. will the system run out faster?
 
I loved my Niger Trigger too Joel. Those blues and that beautiful swim pattern are unmatched.
I totally agree John 💯 percent!
I've told myself this is my last tank, not doing it again when we move in a few years but, you know....
Love to have that 60 gallon again.
I used to buy him 100 little 🐌 at a time and watch while he picked them up and raced them to the glass, smash them and do it again and again.
So much fun 😁
 
Before you go to bed Joel.. I filled my trash can to about quarter capacity of RO. Not gonna mix yet since I have no idea how many gallons it is. That test is tomorrow. Gonna siphon some into jugs and measure using that.
