    Thanks guys! I put in a new Overflow device (not even sure what it's called, my lfs gave it to me) but it made my overflows dead silent!! I also added 4 more blue/green chromis today! I have a total of 9 blue/green chromis now. Loving the school effect.

    The Sailfin and the Yellow are starting to venture out, but, I'm having a hard time getting a shot. The Blonde Naso is still straight up hiding.

    I also really need to get a shot of the two spotted ORA mandarins, they paired up and look amazing swimming together.

    They eat frozen and will occasionally scoop up pellets, but it really only supplements them. I've added a TON of store bought pods and a scoop of sand from both of my long term established tanks.

    That's great to hear that you can supplement their feeding and not have to rely solely upon your pod population :D

    Pics!! Keep in mind the lighting is from a track light that is just pointed at the tank... great shimmer though, lol. (as always, the overtime link Photos )

    1. My pair of spotted mandarins... I'm still trying to get a good shot of them swimming together. They are always together!!

    Apex modules and UV filter and then my Vortech controllers. The main unit hasn't gotten back from the factory, so I haven't hooked up the apex yet.

    Everyone is hiding... I haven't seen the Naso except for a piece of tail since he/she went in.

    When the lights get in, I'll get my mom to come by the house and take some pictures. She's a professional photographer so I'll get some much cleaner shots.

    Well... Got home from work and finally saw the Naso... dead in the corner. I'm guessing shipping stress as he never acclimated and came out after going in the tank.
