I didn't even see the 4th either lol

Got any pics of your light and details to go with it? If this is the one your were building?

Is it some kind of scooter blenny or a dragonet? It is soooo damn hard to see, all I can see is its eye and a bit of a mouth?!? When I looked last night I thought I was seeing things!!!

Lol, he's such a cool fish and impossible to find sometimes. I'm thinking more goby but still no I'd so who knows? When I got him he would have been about 1.5cm long and now he's about 2.5cm long. I'll try get a better pic next time i see him.

Ok, long story short:
- my RO top up sit on a high shelf in the garage and was been filled directly via the RO/DI filter.
- My wife woke me at about 2am to ask if i remember to turn the filter off.
- This morning I began to re-arrange and dry half the garage and everything on the shelving.

So the timing seamed right to expand the frag/s system. Got a 4ft, gave it a good scrub and detail, some basic plumbing and vinyled the back and sides. Built a new stand with the help of my snazzy new saw (might be a trade of for a pair of occidentalis, which I'm not yet sure if I'm happy about or not???) and a coat of paint. Re-arrange the garage and put everything back.

While I'm at it here's a screen shot of some of what's being propagated (no special effects, colour correction or manipulation. just plain old lighting and iPhone pics). Nothing is for sale as yet but possibly trade and more so I'm willing to purchase. So if anyone's got any thing interesting as far as Zoa, Ric, Rhodactis, Morph and Nems; pm me pics and details:)

Amazing ric collection you have there! Love row 2 column 2. And the rock anemone ;)

Havent updated for a while so here a quickie for the record. Zeo finally kicking in and things getting better as the transition of filtration elevated nitrates from 0 to over 25. Colour bouncing back but still not overly happy yet; but I'm being patient (Tap tap tap tap). Otherwise growth is good and stability is a ok :)

Cheers, The Flame is not Hawaiin but as far as I remember from the Coral Sea so not too far from Vanuatu. I've had him for 3-4 years and he was a special order.

Lookin good mate.
