Super EXCITED about my new additions today!
I have been eyeing up these guys for a couple weeks now and today I just couldn't resist! I LOVE my Skunk Tilefish so much...great personality, active fish! So I got two more TILEFISH! Kev brought in these Blueface Tilefish and they are so amazing! They are huge! Only thing that was holding me back is that they are best purchased in pairs...I didn't really want two...but......I Caved!

Acclimated with my new "Fish Acclimation Dripset" (Thanks Scott!)...worked great by the way...and 10 minutes later these guys are eating like PIGS! Getting abit of a hazing from Dori and Angelina but otherwise fitting in just great. These guys are out swimming the whole time. They are great! Bigger of the two is around 5"!
Fish Acclimation Dripset!


The Pair!



Couple Zoa pics



Tank has been running great. Still having microbubbles issues...drivin me crazy. One of these days I'll drain the sump and remove the pump and take it apart to see if that helps. Diatoms algae bloom has almost disappeared. Something kinda crazy going on with my skimmer...haven't figured it out yet but it keeps freakin out and overfoaming all over the place!
Other than that I have been pretty darn happy with my new upgrade!

Carmen,

Love the new additions! Very colorful!

Tank is looking amazing of course. Hope you can get the skimmer figured out and the micro bubbles in the sump.

Same personality...straight to the top but they didn't jump..I think they are too big! The cover was on too so maybe that helped deter the jumpin!
