reefer714, is that a hotumatua or a joculator? The middle coloring looks gradient which is why is throwing me off on the species ID. Very nice fish! Show me some pics of it in your tank. :) :)

Thanks everyone else for the positive feedback.

Hello Edward, it is the Interuptus Angel. The fish just arrived after god know how many hours being in the bag. I have not add the fish into my main display yet. I want to leave it in my refugium for a while long with the Golden Rhomboid and hawaii flames

invincible569 06/26/2007 07:39 PM

Very nice!! I cant wait to see a pic of it in your tank! I bet you cant stop looking at it. :)

jnarowe 06/26/2007 07:40 PM

watch out for the Golden Rhomboid jumping. I had one do a fish stick on me... :(

Jar*Head 06/26/2007 09:44 PM

I spent most of my time by the fuge looking at the fish.

Jar*Head 06/26/2007 09:47 PM

GSMguy 06/27/2007 09:19 AM

cbui2 06/27/2007 11:26 AM

Jar*Head 06/27/2007 12:30 PM

hahahaha, I like the fish but i am addicted to SPS.

GSMGuy, i only have two wavebox and 4 tunze 6200 :). I am getting rid of my dual wavebox cuz of the splashing and saltcrip... I will add 2 vortech with battery back up.

CBui2, your tank look amazing. i wish i have money to buy a house so i can have such large tank.

Fliger 06/27/2007 12:47 PM

Thanks for being the guinea pig on the spots. I love them!

Steve - beautiful fish. I would love to add one or two Interruptus when my tank is complete!

Jar*Head 06/27/2007 01:08 PM

Dav, let me know when you are ready. I can help you locate one or two of them angel. It has nothing to do with the asian connection tho :)

What do you mean being guinea pig? Are there something i need to know about that fish?

Fliger 06/27/2007 01:27 PM

Thanks bud. I can't wait to get stable. I use my Asian half or my German half, whichever suits me best at the time. :) LOL - I was thanking Edward for being the guinea pig on the spot lights.

I'll tell you about my future dream fish over on my thread shortly, I'll hit you up for some connections when the time comes!

invincible569 06/28/2007 07:39 PM

Thanks David.

Im going to be mixing up my lighting a little more. I have a 22K Giesemann Megachrome 250w SE bulb on order which will color up the tank in many ways. I plan to do a little mixing including with the 65k spotlight and see how things turn out. I also have another idea to clear up the bleeding of the light from side to side and looking into the fixture, the reflectors are on rails which can be moved from side to side. My plan is to bunch them up together so all bulbs will blend in. I never want to loose the white sparkly color the 13K marine's (extremely happy with this bulb) produce and this is just another supplementation for the tank to look more alive. The goal is to keep the 22K on the right or middle due to the species of corals that will be living in this area. I also want to try and see how the 22K looks with a 65K Spotlight. I will take pics and share with everyone once it comes in next wk.

fisheebill 06/28/2007 08:55 PM

Can't wait to see the results on the lighting.

invincible569 07/03/2007 07:08 PM

The Giesemann 22k came in today and I lit it up. My first thoughts is that it looks identical to a 14K AC/Phoenix. It's a very bright blueish white. Im going to rearrange the lighting now since I would like to have this bulb in the middle now after seeing it in person so it would blend in just right. I also plan to move the reflectors close to each other to eliminate light spills on both sides of the AQ.

In the following pic, I have the following config:

ON - T5 Actinics (2 ATI Blue Plus & 2 Giesemann Super Actinic)
ON - Left - 250w SE Giesemann Megachrome 13K Marine
OFF - Middle - 250w SE Giesemann Megachrome 13K Marine
ON - Right - 250w SE Giesemann Megachrome 22K
ON - Left - 150w PAR36 Spotlight 65k
ON - Right - 150w PAR36 Spotlight 20k

I have always loved you aquascaping and how clean your tank is.

Fliger 07/03/2007 09:18 PM

Well I can't pull that trick you did on Naka's thread since I can't activate this til Friday, but ....

David, your a nut!! LOL!! It's very strange seeing my tanks pic on someone else's computer so far away! :) :) Thanks for the view! Oh, go to [url]http://www.everythingiphone.com/forum/iphone/[/url]
I've been on there reading up on tips/tricks on how to get this sucker to its prime. There's a lot of cool things this phone does that no other one has touched. It's the the little things that will amaze you. :) The internet part is the best for me. Laptops will be a thing of the past. ;)

hawaiianwargod 07/03/2007 10:27 PM

Wow!!! Edward, I could actually see those frags growing!!!:D

Looks like the Giesemann 13K's are doing a great job! Here's a coral naka donated to me. It was a brown out and in exactly a month, it's starting to show its color.
