How is the Skimmer with water fluctuations? For some reason the first chamber in my sump (Skimmer chamber) bounces about a quarter inch up and down all day (probably do to hob overflow and mp10 wave action.

:) about Picasso's.. I also wanted to see the Phantoms in person so when a LFS got them, I went iut of my way to see them in person. Almost pulled the trigger on a trio but held back. They look good in person IMHO. I'm tempted to do another clown/nem tank with Phantoms/Black Snowflakes. I'm in talks to a local breeder that's currently working on a few pairs that should produce them. I like to cherry pick my clowns. ;)

Always love your ideas. Maybe we can do a clown cherry pick adventure together. Glad to hear the phantoms look good in person. I will keep them on my list.

Not sure about that. My level is constant in both sumps with that exception of any evap since I have no ATO. I would guess it might fluctuate a little with the 1/2" bounce.

Pics?:tongue:

I'll have to post some tomorrow. Just got home and it's lights out in the tank so the only picture I could have gotten was his eye which is all I could see of him sleeping in the rock. Guess that could have been a good guess what fish I got game ;)

Alright guys. My first fish addition. Meet my Borbonius Anthias. We debated with this guy for awhile, knowing that he'll eventually outgrow the tank, but seeing as he's about 1.5", I think we have awhile. So far he seems to be adjusting well.

He's beautiful, they're one of my favorited personality wise. They almost wag their tail like a puppy begging for food.

Thanks so much. He's a cutie and yes, already has some personality. It's funny how they have these big blue eyes and give you that look. Totally loving him and hope his personality stays positive. I heard they can sometimes get a little aggressive as they get older, but I'm wishfully thinking this guy missed out on those genes.

Okay, so I'm seriously obsessed with this fish and how small he is. This is horrible picture, but I just love how tiny he is compared to the rest of the tank. If he turns sideways you can even see him ;)
