Ohhhh nice tang. Beautiful. They had one in Big Als when I was there in June. He was trying to sell it to me, but did not wish to put it in my 50g and the new tank was just being picked up. Look forward to seeing it swim with the others.

Thanks Doug,

I think I may be the same fish. The guy said they'd had it since December. I negotiated a discounted sales price before I took him home.

I installed a remote webcam yesterday so I can creep on my tank from work. I've integrated it into my apex, but now I need to figure out proper placement before making the feed public.

It's not bad with the lights on. My camera has an infrared option which I am still trying to make friends with. I need to move some rocks to get a better view down the length of the tank.

Hahaha! Batman is all mine. What kind of new tank are you waiting on?

Sounds very nice! Thank you. It's still got a ways to go but it's coming.

I was able to negotiate a more than reasonable discount. He is pretty thin, for my tastes, so he is being fattened up in QT as much as possible.

IP camera is mounted and functional! I need to figure out how to make the feed public and I need three uninterrupted hours so I can change the rock work for a better view..

The camera has a infrared option, but it reflects poorly with the glass right now. More photos when the lights come on.

QT pré-water change tonight.

And the promised lights on image from the camera. Glass cleaning and a small rock relocation party is required in the near future.



I need to go, as always, bump my magnesium.

I picked up some beautiful SPS and an anularis angel from a very cool local hobbiest today. We have a great local community here.
