    dont know if I have any fish that would be worth the energy needed to clean/cook them for the amount of meat on them lol

    BTW Roger I may need your help finding some good healthy tangs the LFS's here have been getting some really bad specimins in, the sailfins coming into this area right now have almost no color

    LOL especially tank raised fish I never saw one get large enough to eat , Unlike the wild ones that are eaten daily . This guy is ?? 11 or 12 yrs old now about the size of a nickle or maybe a quarter when I got him in a batch of 200 in 98 or so ? He is not as large as my hand I know I just had him in the palm when I brought him and the rest up from the sump last week. Not sure how long they live ? But I doubt he will get to the 21" Plus we always hear about LOL Fish tales I guess ? Yes I'll get you some good ones . You want a sail fin ? we may have one at the shop still? been tank kept for several yrs very calm .. Oh my hippo was in my 750 for 4 yrs then a 135 then a 180 now a 90 looks happy to me LOL he and the other tangs in there :)

    It's so tiny! :D And yes, we've gone barebottom (snicker) on this tank just for giggles. Most of the corals are from That Guy's tank which is being moved (probably as we speak).

    Finally took some time to take some new pics last night. Tank is coming along well. Coralline is starting to grow and the corals are growing like crazy. My photo taking skills have definitely declined seeing as I haven't had much time to practice. I didn't bother to set the white balance before snapping these shots and I didn't use my tripod either...color me lazy :lol: I suppose that this tank will have to hold us over until we can get the 300 set up but its "small" size is taking some getting used to! :lol: Most if not all of the corals came from Craig's (ThatGuy) tank as did the angel fish.
