    I'm here... this is gonna be sweet! I've always wanted a lion, but never had the spare tank.... guess I'll have to deal, and just look at yours. Great pics BTW!

    Everything. I go to the pier and pick up all kinds of things to try. Monday they had lobster tail and Wednesday they had cod. If it's on sale I buy enough to last a couple of weeks.

    Now comes the other friends. This is a brasiliensis. He needs to grow more before he goes in.

    We tried to put some of them in the current 100g and they came down with Ich.

    We since discovered the tank was too loud with vibratory noise and put special acoustic pads under the pumps and sump, padded the inside of the stand walls and changed some of the hard plumbing. The volitans calmed down immediately.

    Next up is the R. eschmeyeri. He changes colours all th etime, bought him yellow and he's traditionally a variety of pinks right now.

    When I got him....
