B. opercularis is in the tank and eating like a pig
 The long-nosed Hawkfish is being a little bit of a jerk to him but nothing out of hand. Also, I witnessed my rhomboid flashing for the first time! Now that the two females are in the tank the supermale was seeing his reflection and flipping between a gold yellow and bright blue. I love Golden Rhomboids!Also, my LFS just ordered a Claire's Wrasse... unreal! I'm not getting it, but I hope to see it before the proud new owner picks it up. I stopped dosing Coral Snow. My corals were getting a little bleached at a half dose and the water didn't look any cleaner than before. I hope things will return to normal over the next couple weeks. The SPS weren't effected too much and have been growing well. I have a poor video of the peppermint I will attach if I can figure it out. I guess just click on the picture and it takes you to the video

Me too, he's fairly personable so far. Not shy at all. The candy basslet took a couple days to really get comfortable in the tank. This guy and the two G.R. females were at the front of the glass waiting to be fed as soon as we put them in.

Wow that's great
I'm still a bit leery to add fish that cost as much as some of your's I'm happy enough when my $50 fish eat right away

Rhomboid's an angel, just didn't like his own reflection that day
The only two fish that seem bossy in the tank are the royal gramma dn the long-nosed hawkfish.Are you doing weekly maintenance on that tank as well? If so good for you!

So spent a bit of time analyzing the PAR values/spread from a couple different light fixtures at Bayside (Thanks Colby for letting me in there!) and there were some neat results.
All lights are mounted ~24" off the water surface. AI Sols (4 fixtures) Sorry I didn't take a lot of data points for this tank.   T5's (3 x 6 bulb fixtures mounted along the short axis - fixture on the right with a couple month old bulbs, other 2 fixtures almost a year old)  Data gap in the middle from centre overflow   Hybrid (4 x 2 bulbs one LED strip fixtures mounted longitudinally)    My observations: Smaller frag tank 620 PAR at water surface PAR levels at coral level concentrated under lights with poor diffusion anywhere other than under the lights. 360G You can see where the centre overflow is on the 1” and 4” PAR graphs Not much of a drop in PAR between fixtures, meaning good light diffusion from the T5’s (and reflectors) You can see a little higher PAR values from the centre and right fixtures light was predominately aligned along the length of the fixtures 270G The light was surprisingly linear along the length of the tank, with the highest PAR values actually concentrated between the two fixtures, not directly underneath them Concentrate corals with higher PAR requirements along the central third of the tank Just thought it was interesting Scott
