Be easy on me- am still battling some floating particulate but figured was time to start posting some pics before masterswimmer and house of laughter kick my butt. Tanks been going since Dec. 1st. So far have a mated pair of True Perculas, 1 Bangaii Cardinal, 2 firefish(one was shy) and 1 cleaner shrimp- was behind rocks will get shots of him at a later time, and a some zoas that saltwatercritters hooked me up with.
Here are the pics I got- although am a horrible photographer with a cheap camera- bad combo lol. Have to really thank Russ and Jim for dealing with my neurotic craziness about my "imaginary particulate" and for all the help along the way.

[masterswimmer]

Jimmy, the tank looks awesome.

I need to put this out to the rest of the MR community.....Does anyone see an overabundance of floating particulate in the water? I'm thinking I'm blind because I don't see what Jimmy is talking about.

Please post your honest opinion about the particulate. :grouphug:

Once again Jimmy, looking good.

Russ

[JimmyR1rider]

LMFAO!!! They're there they just hide when I take pics and then after...POOF! there they are lol. I guess theyre just fine enough that they dont show up on film. I knew Russ was gonna bust my chops when the pics came out clear. Maybe they're normal amount and Im just a complete whacko.....Thanks for the feedback guys. I guess I just have to hit myself in the head and take a chill pill
