    I tried to raise the fry several times with no success. I finally gave up and ended up giving my horses back to the lfs because I couldn't bear to let the fry be eaten by the fish and coral they shared a tank with and once a pair starts spawning, they pretty much spawn every 19 days or so. I'm a sentimental sap, what can I say :D

    That will be hard to watch. Maybe my snowflake eel in the reef tank will take them under his wing and raise them for me;)

    Iv gotten used to live feeders over the years thanks to my big oscar.

    Finally got the last piece of equipment the heater. My temp was at 77 degrees. I set the heater to 75 for tonight. Tomorrow I will take it down to 73 if it will go that low without a chiller. Horses will be in very soon now. All water params are still reading good.
