Awesome tanks again...anyone know what kind of fish those are in Leonardo's reef in the third pic? Looks like some sort of chromi/damsel type fish(shoaling)...havent seen them in the lfs maybe i could find them online.

Thank you! My students (7th graders = 12 year olds) love the corals and fish - every year several of them start reefs of their own at home....one of my students from last year started a 175 gallon reef!

Serioussnaps, those are Apogon Leptacanthus - Blue eyed Cardinals in Leonardo's reef.

Some great looking tanks in this thread.

Snaps - If you get a chance to see these fish under MH, then you'll see why I call them Blue-eyed cardinals, there eyes sparkle like sapphires truly awesome.
I've got 9 in my 75g, try and get as many as you can they look great in a large shoal.

Very nice tank Greg C, thanks for sharing!

This are Apogon Leptacanthus. The availability here in Europe is quite good. This are true shoaling fish. Not as agressive as the Chomis-species.
Right now I have 9 in my tank, but this wil finally grow to a shoal of 25-30, swimming through the Formosa-Forest

Thanks SunnyX, very nice of you, I have always enjoyed looking at pics of your tank.

New camera so I am still learning all about owning an SLR, and I thought there was a lot to learn about reef keeping!!!

I was in the same boat when I first picked up my SLR. I honestly take the best pic's on the preset configurations.
