Hi Anthony,
Sorry to hear about that. Swing over if you want to grab anymore frags.

Looking good nick , I killed most of the frags I got from you when I traded the 26 . I found out how and why though . I have that fixed and my little 75 is doing great now . , I am still very jealous of this tank lol

I saw the pair together and came up to the water column for bit. I was busy doing something else and by the time I grabbed my camera, they were already on the rocks.
I'm keeping my eyes on them every night after the halides are off and the actinics are still on to see if I can capture the moment. I have no doubt that the female is carrying eggs. Her belly is budging even more the pictures I posted.
Interesting stuff happens when the halides goes off and the actinics are still on. The male interruptus angel are forever courting the female. The male anthias are darting toward the females. Now, let see if I can get a video of the mandarins doing their thing.


any word on the possible Mandarin eggs/babies?

That's an awesome picture! You can see the egg clutch in the female's belly.

Some new toy.
Well, I’ve been saying the Schuran Jet 1 is a terrific ca rx but undersized for my tank. I usually have to empty the media every 4 months or so. That way too often.
Here’s what arrived today. Geo818. The stupid amount of media I have to buy to fill this thing.

That’s one very nice display and basement too! You were really smart letting someone else do the Drywall. Back breaking job. I love the way fish can interact and the room they have to swim in. Impressive to say the least. Has to be relaxing to just sit and watch the show. Well done.
