Thanks Paul, I was hoping you had another source other than Nutramar

Not sure if there is. Might want to do some searching. I have seen some stuff called oyster feast which is tiny oyster eggs which may be fairly similar. I may give it a shot she I run out of nutramar. Are you looking to feed a mandarin or what?

Have a question on that stand. Just built one myself for 40 breeder but haven't used it yet. Are the 3 vertical 2x4's on each corner necessary? I have 2 on each corner, one going to the floor, the other similiar to yours, vertically between the 2 horizontal ones, except I only did 1 of those on each corner not 2. Any thoughts

Two of them would probably be sufficient. I just tend to overbuild a little. I like the extra security. Just make sure you have it good and level, front to back & side to side. Just take a look at some of the manufactured stands in Petsmart or Petco, you wont find a 2 x Anything. Lol. They seem to hold tanks just fine, but seem bare minimum to me.

Picked up a little rock flower anemone yesterday. Nothing fancy but he seems to be settling in nicely.

Nice. Those AI Hydras look to be nice lights. Looks like you need to start a tank thread!

Got some new additions yesterday that I'm pretty happy about! FINALLY got my hands on a red sea Orchid Dottyback! He is settling in very nicely. He ate yesterday immediately after introduction and has been swimming in and out of his cave all day today. I also scored a really nice Acropora sarmentosa frag as well. Here are some photos.

Everything is looking good in the tank. The Dottyback is looking real good. I also picked up a few additions to the tank that I'm pretty happy about. I finally got a really good looking Red Linkia that just came in at the LFS. I also ended up getting a frag of Zoas and a nice looking Scripps Acro. Here are some photos. I still haven't been able to get a photo of the 3ish polyp zoa frag but I have one of the mother colony.

Unkown Zoas (this is the colony my frag came from)

Here is a photo of the Red Linkia making his way to the top yesterday. Notice the Orchid swimming out of his cave behind him, it's blurry but those colors are really close to what he actually looks like. It usually turns out bright blue withmy camera. Im happy with both of them, they both really "pop" with color!

So I gave into buying another anemone the other day. It is a mini maxi and I have finally corralled it into a decent spot it is comfortable. I really wanted it next to my rock flower on that island rock, but it didn't seem to like that spot. Here are some photos of it along with some more I shot the other day. I finally got a decent shot of my Orchid Dottyback too. These fish have some of the best observation along with reflexes that I have witnessed.
