Amazing tank you have. Truly an inspiration on how to keep a reef the right way.

Really love the fish selection BTW. The borbonias anthias is truly now my favorite fish. Mine has a lot of pink with pink lips.

Thank you clowndude for that awesome compliment! We love our Borbonias. Ours also had quite a bit more pink when they were younger. It's our understanding that they develope a "tan" under brighter lighting. Here's a pick of ours when they were little nano-babes hanging out in our refugium:

Wow that is an awesome picture. I've been considering getting a second one so mine has company. How do yours get along?

Ours get along great, but I'm sure much of that has to do with the fact that they were added to the tank together as juveniles.
