    I swear I can not go to the LFS anymore without leaving with more than I planned on getting :fish: So I intended to just get some ro water and possibly some tigger pods for my fuge...I ended leaving with both of those plus a powder blue tang :) Tried to take some pics of him tonight but he wouldn't hold still, I'll see if I can get some of in the morning to post.

    I've gotten into the habbit of only taking for example a $20 note for water/food ect --> hence i can't impulse buy.

    And good luck with the PBT. I'm interested in how you plan to settle him...

    Well I took a video of everyone swimming around this morning on my phone but it won't let me email it to myself, I'll have to pull it off via bluetooth when I get home then I'll post it :)

    I just try to remind myself what a pita it is to remove everything from the tank to catch the new addition if it doesnt work out. Corals on the other hand I impulse buy(I mean trade for) like they will never be for sale again.

    I'm the same way. I'm like this with everything I do though. Like I went to the cigar shop the one day to get a new cutter and I left with $75 in stogies. But whatever, the bills are paid and i'm happy so thats all that matters.

    He definitely is, by far the prettiest fish in the tank thus far. I plan to get a harlequin tusk to compete with him though :cheesy:
