    I'm looking into getting a small school of those or Fatheads. Any difficulties you experienced with them? Or tips in general?

    Honestly I'd go with other anthias. I find the bartlets agressive and high stress. I've done one fathead before and its a super cool fish, but I have no idea how they behave in groups.

    I've enjoyed lyretails. They are a little more peaceful. Princess Anthias are pricey, but look amazing.

    Princess Anthias aren't too far off from the price of Fatheads & availability plays a big factior in my LFS' pricing, so I'll have to inquire about those. Thanks for the info!

    Some new pics. Water was a bit murky and I only realized after downloading the pics, but they're still alright.

    Thanks guys. Its comming along nicely though my one great frustration in life is getting my calcium reactor stable. I wish someone had let me know what a PITA these devices are.

    Great looking tank! I like the less is more approach. As for the Ca reactor, I get the idea of it, but I have seen so many people have trouble get it dialed in just right. It seems to over complicate things. Just another thing that can go wrong. I always dosed a 3 part system and never had any issues, little bit more work, but I prepared a gallon at a time and dosed every few days to a week. Not much time required.
