Okay, I'm going to try to post a couple of tank pics but I don't know what I'm doing, so go easy on me if I mess it all up.

Wow! Your LPS are very happy. And a blurry mandarin is better than no mandarin, they are absolutely gorgeous. Looks great. What lights and filtration are you using?

Nice FTS. Looking good, Kristy!

Thanks for the kind compliments from everyone! I am not great at photography and Mike (my husband) is even worse, so we have been reluctant to post any photos at all. Thanks to stoneroller for encouraging us to put up some pics.

The blastos are my favorites, Misti, which I suppose is why they are scattered all over the tank and visible in every photo. They are courtesy of blueboy, who offered us a sweet deal when he was tearing down his tank.

I agree with you Christina about the mandarins. That was the fish I was most anxious to get, and it was hard to have that much patience. I still get excited every time I watch her.

Lights are T5s (recently acquired from Darth Tater) supplementing good old PCs, both with actinics. Filtration is a wet/dry with bioballs rated for 150 gallons and an Octopus skimmer.
