    Thank You all so much, its nice to share and see that folks appreciate my tooling around.
    I forget what they call that fresh water fish that is in there that I slowly acclimated over to salt water,
    But think its originally from the Amazon its the silver chrome fish with the Yellow fins,
    got him as a baby the Size of a Nickel, and turned into something the size of 4 silver dollar pieces put side by each :) man did he like Mysis shrimp :)

    Yeah I kind of did a double tank when I saw that fish swimming. A vague distant memory of some FW fish type, now I know.

    Hi Again, Ok I have Updated Pics of the 45 Gal Rescue Coral tank, with my daughters IPhone 6.
    Oddly its better than the expensive Digital 16 Pixel Camera that doesn't do the job.
    I have computer controlled lights so I Twisted up and down the color spectrum and this is what I came up with.

    Let me know what you think :)

    Oh sorry :)
    Its been running for about 6 or 7 months under going support system changes, protein skimmer running a Lime Stone Mod,
    A wave Maker set to change the direction of the current every minute,
    The lights are two Orbit Marine LED Rigs, And a cold cathode ray tub, in the 520ish range color a wish blue-ish white.
    And no :) there really isn't any relevance for putting a Cold Cathode Ray Tub on your Aquarium.

    Truth be told, I was just being an ass :) I got tired of it in my Computer so I hooked it up to a Laptop power supply and slung it up on the tank
    And made some reflectors out of the center core for paper towels cut in half and coated with shiny Aluminum Oven Tape,
    Oddly they seem to work pretty well. :)
