thank you. when i seen how the foxface change colors at night i had to take a pict of it. the 300g is going to be fun setting up. the good thing is that it is drilled from the bottom. for flow to go down and come up..

Nice pics. That 300g is going to be amazing, havent seen anything bigger than 100g be a bowfront.

i see you have a valingi tang in there as weel it should also shange to a dark brown and greyish color at night to blend in with the rock so predators wont be able to see it in the dark, i think you should get a picture of that as thats something to see as well, i had one years ago but to make a long story short it ended up getting stung on half its bod by my tube anemone and starve to death shorty after, i was very said and have yet to find another one for sale anywhere, i always see them in the display tank but never can find one to buy lol anyways tanks looking great and keep up the good work.

amazing tank!

Isn't it crazy how the foxface changes color while it's sleeping like that? lol I got one as well.. I thought he was close to dieing or very stressed when I saw him change to that camoflage color like that..

by SATELLITE Tue Mar 31, 2009 12:22 pm

good pics satellite cheers

i wanna see pics of the strawberry carb too Smile

wanna tell me if they are reef safe too Very Happy

by SATELLITE Tue Mar 31, 2009 12:38 pm

it says reef safe with caution?? but what does caution really mean. he says in the open a lot and picks at the sand bed all the time looking for food. if it wasn't $25 for 1 i'd have 4 more
