Livefish was out of the flame tails when it came time to pack my order. So he called this afternoon and offered to send me one of these in the show size for the same price.

I'll get some. I would like to get a good pic of every fish in there...but that will take some time. Here is one I took the other night...it doesnt have all the fish in the shot but it does have a few of them. I'll get more once the new fish get in and settled.

:popcorn:

I am so jelious of this tank. I bought my 225 and placed in my dining room directly because of this thread and your tank. I was heart broken when I had to move the tank to the garage. My dining room is an add on and would not support the tank. Hats off to you man, it's beautiful!

PS - You are one of only two other people besides me on MFK I have seen totally anal about the way your scrubbies are put together. I love it! :D
