Really enjoyed the reefing meeting. thank you very much for the invite.

Glad you could make it Matt! Sorry, it's always a zoo with that many people but glad we got to hang out a bit in the fish room.

Wanna know his dirty secret?? Ty distracts everyone with pictures of his awesome corals so they won't notice his filthy pumps!

I thought we had a deal! Cheap frag pack for ever glowing reviews of my system and frequent praise for how clean all my pumps are! I got bamboozled!

Oh...

The system is amazing (really it is). The pics and videos really don't do the tank justice.

I'll send you more glowing reviews to post tomorrow too. Just cut and paste like I said... Oh crap, did I post this on the build thread and not message you directly? [emoji44]

Good to finally meet you in person and I appreciate you driving in from so far away!

Giving the fish a special treat of live black worms. New additions are black tang, bimac anthias, and Japanese Masked Angels.

Thanks bud! I was actually just going to do a quick 1 minute video but I got a lot of complaints last time to make it longer. [emoji44] Had 5 mins of video this time but felt it too long so settled on 3 mins. Hope that's just about perfect for everyone.

He always goes berserk for feeding time! It's hilarious to watch him darting around.

And the black tang is just picking on the rocks.

Sweeeeeeeeeet, Love these semifasciatus, they are small and cute, and of course all other angels are beautiful as usual. I recommend next one to add a female watanabei

I really like your bimaculatus anthias. I have been wanting some but settled for the bartlett's. My LFS has not carried any bimaculatus in a long time. Where did you get your Bimaculatus Anthias? Where did you get your Regal as well?

I'm surprised I like the female coloration as much as I do on the semifaciatus. Even if one doesn't change to male, I think I'm okay with that. The watanabei has never appealed to me... How come a female one? Am I missing something?

I love these bimacs! Just stunning!

I ordered both through my LFS. Bimacs don't come by often as I remember waiting for a couple months before the were available. Red sea regals are usually available through wholesalers.

I'll have to see them in person again. Like some corals, I think fish are best appreciated in person.

Finally got through the thread.
Amazing additions lately, especially the black tang. It has been on my list forever and would do great next to my scopas.

In the video, the tang is like a shadow passing by all the time.
Gorgeous.

Sitting about 350-400 par bud. I may be moving it soon to a better spot to show it off... It grew towards the front glass so you only really see the backside and underneath where its currently at.
