Great picture Kyle @HotRocks

The system look fantastic with life in there now.
My wife was so sad to see the porky puffer leave. He was her buddy. Such a cool fish. My wife who gets suuuuuper annoyed with all of Jason and I's shenanigans (not really), would flip a bucket upside down and sit on it in front of his tank while I was working on the other QTs. Lol.

They look great Jason! Batch 1 complete! Few more to go!

I bet this was planned by Jason to get the both of you over.

Time to get your own porky puffer;):D

Lol. That would require a new tank! But it's a selling point to start with!!! :) :) :)

Love the fish selection!! Congrats and looking forward to seeing your fish grow!

Thank you, me too! :)

Great work guys not only on the build but keeping that many fish in qt.
True accomplishment

It was/is absolute chaos. @HotRocks earned his stripes. He has now quarantined more fish successfully than most hobbyists in decades. He’s probably almost tied with me!

ahhhhh the plot thickens;Hilarious;Hilarious;Hilarious

So I saw a Blueface, Emporer and Queen (maybe blueline) . Is that all the angels? Plans for more? I have an Emporer and Queen in QT now! Hard to beat large angels!!! Awesome job!!
Many more angels, there’s a Juvi emp, Juvi French, beat up majestic (had nasty flukes).

Coming soon if everyone makes it is a Passer, Blueline, Scribbled, Goldflake, Orange Peel, and the first known “harem” of flame angels (I think) in captivity. It’s something I’ve planned for a while and in a giant tank I think I can pull it off.

It’s going to be a heavily stocked tank big boys going in next, the emp is small compared to a few of these next guys!

Here are a few unphotographed fish:

The majestic looks better an hour after the lights turn in but he had a bad fluke infestation. Eats like a pig and is improving well!

Spectacular! Where did you find the orange peel?

A harem on Flames is exciting! Looking forward to it all!

Perhaps down the road when you are stocked and your system has somewhat matured you could resurrect you inner YouTube and do a full system breakdown!?

Jeremy is a good guy! Stopped by there just this past Wednesday! Very happy he opened up. He talked to me about helping with the stocking.
He is a great guy, absolutely! He needs to do more online sales!

Love the Banana wrasse! Plans for a pinkface or paddlefin as well?
Yes, and yes, and a few others!
