Unfortunately, I was using photobucket to store ally pictures, including my build pics. Somehow they all got corrupted so I can't post them.... But I have other ones :

Welcome. :-)

Awesome Heliofungia, I do not see many of those on forums or for sale the last couple years.

Looking forward to the eventual FTS.

Welcome to R2R!!! Tank looks great! Did you build the stand? If so great job.

[BAETech]

I did build the stand, unfortunately, the build pictures were corrupted on photobucket and I delete them off my camera....
Thanks!

How do you like the Talbot's Damsel, and do you only have one?

How do you like the Talbot's Damsel, and do you only have one?

I had Two, one was sickly when I brought it home and didn't make it. However, I LOVE this little guy. He is a great tank mate and doesn't bother anyone. keeps to himself, pretty stinking docile for a damsel...

 

[Tahoe61]

Just what I wanted to hear, I have been thinking about ordering one from liveaquaria, I just was not sure of their tendency for aggression being a damsel and all.

Thanks

 

[BAETech]

Yeah, They are really low on the aggression table for a damsel. I highly recommend one( of course every fish is a case by case).
