lol..

so what do you think about the list? any suggestions. Looking for Indo pacific deep water. Which tosses out the basslets. Looks like the Anthias is my choice so far. Maybe with a firefish as well. Two in a 20 should be ok

Tho with the numbers I got today on that workhorse 6 I am thinking I may go with an SPS tank and a pair VHO's putting out a PAR of 499. :D ;) Four of those and I bet there isn't much I cant keep. ;)

I'd have to concur with the anthias/shroom tank. That would be my choice!

That is what I was thinking too. run all actinics. maybe one 50/50. keep it as blue as possible..

You'd want the one 50/50 just to see the colors of the shrooms. All actinic would take away, I think. Even a lower wattage daylight or something just to give a bit of white light

I know.. fit a 28W PC or two in behind the actinics so some light makes it through.

Darren, just aquascaped my tank and I have quite a bit of live rock left over that I've moved to my sump for now. I may still use a piece or two but I should have some you can use.

Marc,

Thanks to you too. I know Dale will be honest about what he finds.. Man a pinecone fish would be sweeet. Or an angler for that matter. ;)

Well I know you already have plenty of ideas but one more won't hurt. I did some reading last night on the Antennariidae, (frog fishes) and I am blown away by these little fellas. My favourite since you asked is Antennarius pictus; the painted frogfish. They are found from shallow to deep water and grow to 4" max.
