Mike and Terry's 300g Reef

Stellar!

I like the upside down backwards bites the filefish takes. He's patient and picks his moment. :)

Thanks Gabe! The filefish is a hoot... He likes to body surf around the the top of the tank using the Tunze's to launch from one end of the tank and around the corner to the other side. It is hysterical to watch.

I saw that too, hilarious!

Love the video! How big is the sailfin?

Thanks Jackie! Our Desjardini is about 9" give or take. He's been with us for 11 years and was in captivity at least another year before he came to us.

Love your video!

Love your video!

Thanks Mike!

Great video. Any chance of trying out 60fps with that new camera?

How does the filefish do with the coral?

Terry, I had to stop by for some photographic inspiration today in order for me to take the effort to drag out my seemingly 'Old School' D3100 now. LOVE the new video but,..................... your fish are all to well behaved at the Nori Clip and thinking you really need a Blochii Tang like mine to show em all what a Nori Feeding Frenzy really looks like... lol

Absolutely STUNNING as usual.


Cheers, Todd

TJ's Reef That's what I thought too. The fish are well behaved and take turns at the clip?! Love my Matted Filefish; it's never bothered any coral.

Thanks for sharing your pain on getting this back going again and the beautiful end result, you are lucky to have this back up to your garage. We have the same situation and it makes changing water VERY easy

Thanks Lucas! The video was shot using 60fps. Out of habit, I selected an MPEG preset when I exported the video from Prem Pro :doh: and I will make sure I don't do that on the next one. :bigsmile:

Our Filefish has not touched any of our corals, but we do not keep our z's and p's or acans in there - our Regal would devour them.

Thank you Todd! Your D3100 is a fine camera and much more up-to-date than my old D300s. And, yes, our fish are pretty well behaved (thankfully) and everybody who wants it, gets a turn at the algae clip. It's a little scary sometimes when the little Neon Goby decides to go perch on the clip to graze on algae while Big Daddy (the Desjardini) is chowing down.

Our Filefish is a model citizen as well.

Thank you so much! Yes, having the remote fish room in the garage makes things much easier and the display much quieter.

Great vid!! Love the fish selection, very soothing to watch.

 

[hummer]

Wow realy nice

Always enjoy seeing your pictures & videos - they are always so well done! You have some mad photo skills! You guys are braver than I am with that selection of fish. I have played the angel & butterfly game before but they ended up costing me a fortune. They look fantastic in the reef so I hope they remain the model citizens for you that they appear to be now. Thanks for sharing.

Love your tank, Everything looks awesome!
Got any good tips for a person who has no luck with tanks bigger then 10 gallons? LOL

Thank you so much Greg - coming from you that means a LOT! As for our fish selection, we made a bad choice with a C. flavissima in the spring of last year and paid dearly before we could remove him. The Genicanthus Angels (semifasciatus and Bellus) don't pay any attention to corals. The Regal, Flame and Tink's will occasionally pluck at our SPS, but don't do any serious damage.

Thank you KorD! The best advice we could give is to do your research, make a plan, and take it slow. Nothing good happens fast in this hobby.

Houston, We have a problem... :shocked: Nearly freaked when we found this on the sand bed day before yesterday:

It is definitely a molt, not a dead crab. :squigglemouth: :frusty:
