Your right Ron! Perhaps a strawberry grouper? The order with the tunze products is finally arriving today (according to the trucking company), so hopefully I will be back in the tank today causing some major waves. Little did my fish know that their New Years resolution is to loose weight by exercising more. More pics from yesterday.

Thanks Ron. I like prezzies too Never kept zoas before??? Not to worry about the zoas. They can take a while sometimes to settle in.


The shipment I have been waiting for finally made it to the shop today



Now for the hardest part. Deciphering all the instructions

+1 on the jealousy of the ATO... wishing I had bought that instead of the Vertex skimmer on Boxing Day..

Everybody who has an osmolator says they love it, so to me it was the only one to go with. I didnt tackle the osmolator yet, I will hook that up tomorrow in better light.

I did get the nanostreams in. The original plan was to swap out the two visible koralias with the nanostreams, but I ended up leaving the K4 in the middle of the tank and put one Tunze on each end of the tank. 6600 gph I didnt see a big difference in the flow, but when I plugged them in and put them on 100% the left side emergency drain started to trickle. So obviously more water is being pushed to that end of the tank than before. As I was tweaking the gate valves to get things balanced out in the overflows my skimmer started to overflow. So the increase in flow stirred up enough crud to cause the skimmer to go haywire(so much so, that I had to shut it off). I will play around with the different modes later. Im curious to see if the if the pulse mode will generate a wave or not with the other powerheads still going.

Heres a few more recent pics.

Im really impressed with the macro feature on my otherwise unimpressive point and shoot.

The last few pics from the last "shoot".
