    Well I just added a Male Blonde Naso with my female in hope they would pair. They have been together about 1.5 hrs with no fighting. It took me 14 hrs to acclimate him to my salinity because the store I got him from keeps fish only at 1.019 and I keep mine at 1.025 so I brought him up slowly with a drip method. Hopefully that will be less stress as he will be my prize fish from now on. Once the MH's come on I will get a pic of the newlyweds. :)

    Well he won't sit still long enough for a good pic but I found one online that looks just like him....streamers and all.

    Actinics come on at 9:00 am then MH's at 3:00 pm then MH's go off at 10:00 pm and Actinics at 1:00 am. I like my lights to be on when I am home for viewing. It's in the basement so there is no other light the tank receives.

    I will work on getting a pic of both tangs. When I came downstairs this morning before work they were both swimming together under the moon light....how romantic.. ::)

    Well ...........

    After I installed the Mag Drive upgrade for my OM 4way I caused a leak in the plumbing for one of the lower ports in the tank. I finally was able to get this fixed this sunday as you pretty much have to set aside time to get this done with the kids and all.

    My pairing of the Blonde Naso's has gone well and the new male is eating good. I am in the process of ordering 5 Dispar Anthias to add to the tank and I think that will be all the livestock I am going to add. I am getting one male and the rest females in hope of them schooling. They probably wont once they are comfortable in the tank because most school for protection. I just hope my Six line will leave them alone.

    Not in regards to the tank but I got the ceiling done in the family room where the tank is located. The basement has been all finished but the ceiling so it is finally done now. I have told the local INDMAS (Indiana Marine Aquarium Society) group that we can have a one of the months meetings next year at my house so I need to get things ready.

    Thanks for asking.... ;D
