I just thought I would share some pictures of my first fish since some people prefer pictures over videos:

Not sure if you noticed, but that aptasia will quickly become many pains unless you take care of it. :attention:I am also jealous of your tank, I think a 93 gallon cube is just awesome!

I sure have, I got rid of most of the larger ones with Apstaisia-X and I will get some perppermint shrimps to take care of the smaller ones
