HEHE, call me KRESKIN THE MAGNIFICENT THEN!

Sorry, I saw blue fish, but looked again... Are those anthias?

So what do you think about having a closed loop? Can you tell us the benefits over traditional methods?

Well Kreskin, they are actually Blue Reef Chromis from what I have been told.

As far as the closed loop I really like it so far. Nice even flow through out the tank. Also noticed that there is less debris on the sand and rock, when I feed the fish what ever food it is time for it does not hit the sand. And there is power head sticking out like a soar thumb.

I would be standing in my pool room trying to take a pic though a window that is for sure.

And yes I did find some zoa I liked, Kevin told me that you took the nicest of the bunch
