If you're ever out this way, drop me a line. You're totally welcome to visit, the cost is you have to endure listening to my 6 year old talk your ears off about Star Trek or whatever else it is he's nerding out about at the time. Usually it's Star Trek however. Every so often we'll let him watch an episode and then it's 6 weeks of dawn to dusk blah blah blah blah GENERATOR CORE blah blah blah KLINGONS (the weird thing is he'll go on and on about Klingons even if it wasn't an episode with actual Klingons) .. blah blah blah blah WARP REACTOR .. I mean don't get me wrong, I'm a total Star Trek / SciFi geek myself so I never thought I'd catch myself saying this but it totally turns out there is such a thing as "too much Star Trek." On a totally unrelated note, we're going to go see the whole NextGen cast when they come to town next month LORD HELP US ALL WHAT HAVE I DONE.

I digress - what I meant to say is, "if you're ever out this way, drop me a line, you're welcome to come look at fish."

What a coincidence My husband could talk about Star Trek the whole day if I am willing to listen to him. He is a BIG fan ! I am sure he would love to talk to your little boy more than me. You will regret for inviting us to come to see your tank, because I can sit there for hours just to look at your fish and your sps corals

Looks great! I will be starting a project similar to this in the coming weeks - just on vacation now - have to set up all the details and measurements when I get home.

Things look awesome especially those acans! Those watchmen appear to be a lot more confident than the last time I saw them.

Everything looks fit as a fiddle Tony. I'm particularly envious of your Bellus pair; I've been looking for a pair for quite sometime now. Keep up the good work.

The males are apparently terrible shippers. Get two females and wait it out, thats what I'm doing. Just waiting for a second one as only one came in on the last order

Wish I could offer some advice on that but these guys came to me together out of a tank being shutdown.

The most fighting in the tank occurs among the angels. The male chases the female an awful lot to the point that I worry one day I'll find her outside the tank. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of damage done if he catches up to her, so I'm not really certain what is going on there. And then both the male and the female will have their individual spats with the potters, although like the occasional spat among the tangs (who aren't the best of friends but will tolerate each other for the most part), seem to only last a minute or two and then they go their separate ways.

Every so often I have seen the male do a display for the female however, and it is kind of neat to watch. He will swim sideways, occasionally flipping sides, and vibrate his tail. At least I think it's a display because he clearly looks for the female before he starts all this. I remember thinking "yeah right buddy, good luck with that. You are so sleeping on the fishy couch tonight."

Tank's looking awesome Tony. I think that green carpet has grown a lot since I last saw it. Interesting growth form on that birds nest too it's pretty thick. That trigger is such a freaking pig but he was fun to feed lol.
