    Thank you Pavlos! I appreciate the kind words. I can't wait until the fish settle further and really get comfy. I think once I get my might on and toy with it ti find settings and dimmer light that they enjoy they will be more active and their colors will be so rich and deep.

    I tried to keep my aquascape basic but real looking and also easy to maintain and work around...

    Phil, it appears your fish are settling in nicely. Things should just get better from here on out.

    Thanks Pat! I sure hope so, the forst few weeks are always edgy, making sure all is ok and consistent, add in me trying new foods, lights, water change systems. I hope things settle soon and the fish get more active.

    I have been playing with my light over the last few days when I get some down time at work. It is doing what I hoped so far and getting the fish to be a bit more active and comfortable. They are settling in nicely...

    Here is a pic during their flake feeding frenzy today...

    Looking great Phil....Those stonker discus make your tank look real small. Any chance trying to take some photos of them with the room in total darkness? Would be nice to get a shot of them without you in it

    What are you trying to say Joe? I ruin the pics with my big tukus in the way !!! Hahahah

    Yes, I was actually going to try and do that one day this week, the tank is in the main work area where my office staff is, so I kinda can't turn the lights out on them... I am going to wait until they all clear soon and get some total dark shots, the tank looks ammmazing with total darkness and the new light!

    Yea, I have some nice big guys in there! For wilds I feel my guys have a rather nice size, shape and thickness to them, a few are really getting big, bigger than I expected... I should have measured a few on the transfer

    Doing a great job with them Phil.
    Hahaha...Come on man! Use your imagination. Surely your work place is due for a fire drill or something along those lines?

    Will do Joe, promised! I want to do it myself and also see the light in full effect and play with the colors... Starting to annoy me that this tank is here and not home... I could so use a few hrs on the couch gazing at this bad boy...

    You guys are going to get a kick out of this. The saga continues.

    Everyone is filling out today little by little. Finally I can get the lights off! I do and... the one directntk my back as I am taking the pics has I switch that I can find. We have to follow a bunch of fire Marshall rules and we need that front lobby light on at all times and the switch is hidden. I need to ask my father in law where he hid it. I looked all over he hid it well.

    This is what I got and gave up. IMG_8354.jpgIMG_8355.jpg
