    Beautiful Tony! Is that a Genicanthus bellus male I see?

    Ah, ok that was my second guess, but the coloring looks different than I have seen before. Beautiful fish :)

    I started out with two Actinic 03, one 14k and Blue Plus, but have changed to all to Actinic 03.

    Now that MACNA 2013 is behind me I can get back to my main project, my 300!

    Had my first casualty – the PNG Gold Nugget Wrasse, which is no longer available, jumped before I could get the protective covering on the tank. This is a fish that will be very difficult to replace!

    What a drag! Sorry to hear that Tony. What a beautiful fish.
    Hey it was great to see you in Florida all the same. I hope you have caught up with sleep a bit. :)

    The loss was devastating and heart breaking, but acclimating seven new Lori's Anthias (Pseudoanthias lori) to the qt system can be exciting.
