Just found this thread. Awesome everything man (sorry to hear about the fish though).

Maybe I missed it before, but what lighting are you running on the new tank? Is it the same as the 72, only with more bulbs?

I am very happy with it for sure. I am however going to upgrade to a 5 foot fixture ASAP.

Did you qt your anthias? ..... Too little to late but anthias are known for being prone to internal parasites..... Did you notice if the two that died had white stringy poop prior to them passing?

I actually did not Qt the Anthias first....probably should have. The thing is, I bought the first Anthias at JL aquatics from a tank of about a 100 Anthias, then 2 months later there where only 5 left so the wife wanted to get the rest of them. They all looked pale in colour but in about a week of feeding my homemade mix they where the brightest fish in the tank.
Then like I stated in an earlier post, the first Anthias we had began to transform. Then 2 or 3 weeks later he started acting bizarre, stopped eating, then died. Then all the rest started dissapearing, now we are down to 1.

Thanks for the compliments, I was using a nikon d40 but the damn thing crapped out on me recently so now i have nothing to shoot with. I was using the standard lens on the camera, and I made an acrylic tube to put over the lense so i would get good shots from above.

If anyone is interested I have some frags (lots actually) for sale, drop me a line
