Thanks... really looking forward to him overcoming his shyness. Walking into the room means he doesn't do any of his 10s tours around the tank for an hour or so.

and aren't you glad I'm back?? :biggrin:

umm... okay.... *backs away slowly...*

Great new fish Brett. I really love/hate the filefish, he's so different. Reminds me of a FW leaf fish, or a hatchet.
But, I really like your new head-banger. I'll never have room for such nice guys, but I'm sure my wife will make me buy little ones that I have to trade in later :biggrin:
Sure am jealous right now. I have water but no rock, tank is in the back room, still have to hack up my walls...
Sorry to hijack :smile: but my light is finished :mrgreen:

danm it they had a acanthurus maculiceps at big als today but they wouldnt sell it to me because it would be "to hard to catch" in a tank with minimal live rock

frick i hate these stores that dont sell things they have in stock.

I have been there to, I tell them if they don't want to catch it to get me a damn net & I will catch my own fish. It would be easier on the fish if I did it any how.

I think I might have to add this fish to my wish list for the 300 might have to part with on Regal & Sailfin though, maybe :twised:

Brett, is there an easier name to remember for this?

Something wrong with the staff ...
I'd be grabbing a net myself

I thought these fish require a huge tank?

Brett -- Big Mac looks awsome! Corals are looking really good too. Are you doing anything for low nutrient / dosing?

Thanks guys. He survived a day of halides and only came out a few times. Soon as 9pm hit and they went off he literally turned it on. I'm putting together another video (I'm sorta addicted to making these little vids now lol).

Oh I hate that! When I was sourcing nice rock for the 225 I convinved a girl at big als to let me help her oust like 8 triggers from a piece in their tank. Took more than 30 minutes and I'm sure the triggers were pretty stressed (I felt bad but really wanted the rock).

Spotted Cheek is another I've heard...

No just plain old carbon/gfo/water changes. I have some hair algae though!

Awesome man get that thing going! Have you updated your thread with pics doesn't ring a bell.

Thanks for askin' ...
Nope, all I've done is link the light mod. It took me 2 days with the wiring, and the burning of a ballast, and the crushing of a new ballast, and then the figuring out how to make the 2nd new ballast fit. So, no, there's been no build progress :sad: :mrgreen:
Sucks to be me.
I hope to make some progress over the next couple of days, in between the job hunting.
I want to next tackle cleaning up our rec-room to make room so I can pull down all the suspended tiles and run some wiring. This will get me much further along as I will know 'exactly' where I can cut the wall for the plumbing and electrical.

Oops, sorry to hi-jack your thread. Verbal diarrhea. :smile:
