Looks great. Seems I've had similar experience with chromis's that you have.

Craig Manoukian · 11-16-2007, 09:26 PM

Green Chromis Patrol! Oh, and the Kole is a fabulous looking specimen!

Woodstock · 11-17-2007, 06:57 AM

Ahhhh... I love morning eye candy!! Thanks

Spectacular reef JFK!!!

JFK_Jr · 11-17-2007, 03:43 PM

Well, I got so many nice compliments about my chromis, I thought... why stop at four?

So I picked up another six for a total of ten.

School's In...

Oh yeah... and I bumped into this little friend and I just had to give him a new home...

Craig Manoukian · 11-17-2007, 04:52 PM

You keep outdoing yourself!

JFK_Jr · 11-17-2007, 09:55 PM

Thanks again everyone!

Here's more new pics...

Wow the tank looks awesome dude! I always enjoy your thread!I too love the Chromis. Why i went and got firefish instead i dunno! Well i have two left out of nine now. Picking them off one by one.
I have to agree with Craig also, that yellow eye kole is amazing! Defiantly the next tang i get.
careful on the bio load JFK. Keep a close eye on the trates.

Dentoid · 11-17-2007, 10:47 PM

Awesome! For an affordable fish, those Chromis really add a punch of color!

Craig Manoukian · 11-17-2007, 10:50 PM

Very nice softies! The tank looks very busy, in a good way with the Chromis Crew! The Kole looks good again!

JFK_Jr · 11-17-2007, 11:34 PM

Frankie: Thanks man! Firefish are also a marvel to look at in groups... now that your'e down to 2, maybe it's time to try some chromis... hopefully the ones I purchased won't all disapear on me...

My tank's going on 18 months now and it's running rock solid. I don't mess with it much other than water changes and refilling my Koralith, ZeoMag and Kalkwasser. It's really reached a state of equilibrium... the only algae growing is coralline. I purposely waited this long to add my fish to ensure maximum success. Now when my family and friends come over they don't ask... "Where's all the fish?"

Scott: Thanks! Chromis really do add that touch of reef to the tank. Now that the group has grown, their dynamic has also changed. It's fascinating to watch them interact with each other.

Craig: Thanks again! I can always count on you for a compliment or an encouraging word if needed. The Kole is really a character... he adds so much to the tank. That last reflection shot sure makes it seem like I have a lot more chromis than I really do... and it also makes it seem larger! One thing I haven't tried is turning off my pumps and shooting from the top down... maybe I'll give that a shot soon!

Craig Manoukian · 11-17-2007, 11:39 PM

We'll be waiting!

bluespotjawfish · 11-18-2007, 06:05 PM

Oh my, you have been extremely busy! Love the new angels, chromis and all the corals that they get to play in! What to you charge for diving into your tank - lol~!

Thanks Lorraine!

No charge for diving... only for the equipment rental...

I keep thinking that my only alternative is to upgrade to a larger tank.

JFK_Jr · 11-18-2007, 08:57 PM

I just love this little guy... yesterday he was being bullied by my six-line and bi-color pseudo, but today he seems to be blending in better.

He's "keeping it on the down low"...
