Thanks! Huge frog?
Yes, I used the herbie method. It is pretty quiet as long as levels are stable and the ball valve is adjusted correctly.

New tank video. Took all the footage yesterday during a feeding. Very bright in some shots and once again movie maker zoomed in on every video clip, but oh well.

I hope my 40gal looks like yours one day. How old is your tank?

Nice video I always enjoy your tank shots and videos. Life got crazy and haven't had the time to play with camera hopefully tomorrow I can get a chance to use the tips you've helped with.

Picked up some LRS Reef Frenzy at my buddies new store yesterday and all the fish and coral loved it. I've been meaning to give it a try for a while now. So far, I like it! Also picked us this Melanurus Wrasse as well. Here is a little video of him today, he was just added yesterday. Hopefully everyone plays good! So far, all is well.

The only purple fish I have is an Orchid Dottyback (my avatar). There is a blue and yellow blenny as well.

 

[Chris-tico]

is this the dottyback?

Very cool wrasse looks to be settling in well. Our wrasse took few days to stay out when you were close to tank. We've added few things the blue sided wrasse being 1 of em lol.

Thanks! That's very cool. They had a blue sided fairy wrasse for the same price but the melanurus has been on my list of wrasse for a while and this guy looked healthy.

 

[Chris-tico]

Thanks Paul!

The new wrasse has been doing great and eats like a pig! Love this guy. Here are some better photos of him.

Finished up the frag tank and it is now up for sale at my buddies store now. Also picked up my first clam today, labeled a dersara. Here are some photos.

 

[Paul87]

Better photos of the new clam and some others. Apparently this clam isn't even a Dersara. Could be a Maxima or Squamosa, not 100% sure yet. Aslo I have not seen my Ruby Red Dragonet in several days. I've looked in the sump (haven't emptied it yet) and still no sign. Hope she shows up, she was a great little fish and appeared to be doing fantastic.
