Quick comparison... top left is Tuesday, top right Wednesday, bottom left Thursday, bottom right Friday. S8+, pro mode, 10k color correction. No filters.

Turtle, we get it... the forest fire is looking better. What about the rest of the tank?


Starburst monti cap, seen better days but it's seen worse too. Recovering.

Getting late, tank is really blue, lights about turn off and the coral beauty isn't cooperating. But here's a failed attempt at a decent photo.

Centropyge bispinosa

Its still sticking to the rocks a lot, and all three fish are camera shy. My clowns are camera hogs, easy to get pics of them.

I did see it eat from the algae clip and it pecks at the rocks a good bit. Hasn't touched any of the LRS, but... it does come out when I feed and looks at the food, but loses intrest when it sees it. She still looks healthy, so I'm not concerned.

If it is grazing that is good, get the upgrade sorted before it goes stir crazy! ;)

My flame angel is nice and fat, and he eats very little of what I put in the tank. I think he prefers picking algae and hunting amphipods.

Saw a little one in my lfs today, I would have risked it except the flame would have beaten the living poop out of it! ;)

Yea, I had thought about an atlantic pygmy... and maybe an african flameback because they stay small for the Deep Blue.... But I was only going to get one dwarf angel, and if I had to pick one Centropyge, it would be the coral beauty. So I just waited until the right one appeared.

So, we just left a guy's house in Greenville, NC... yea little road trip, a friend of mine vought a used 60" ATI fixture.

Anyway, he had a 48" display with the 36" Aquatic Life fixture and it looked good... covered the tank nicely and didn't have a ton of spillover. We are probably going to get the 24" for our 90 that's coming... a 36" fixture will have all the spillover.
