I had to try to explain to hubby why I was making a 50 min drive one way to buy Pods & Pod food - basically microscopic things you can't see, for my little display tank. "Smile and wave boys, just smile and wave!"

Lol. I understand completely autumnsky! SD, it's available at Walmart. I tried the coral yesterday, smells good. Nothing like a coral of course.
THAT pic is NOT a sea orchid, lol.
But, I have a person I know in our area who has a planted tank with an amazing set up above and behind the tank where the water filters up through the planter box filled with all kinds of plants and the plants roots help filter it AND one is an Orchid! But not a sea Orchid. lol

First attempt on a very low light video of tank after lights off. I used an actinic flashlight in a few shots. I plan to do a better one in the future with all the acros extended at night.

I plan to wrap this stock up with a potter's leopard wrasse. It should be in Friday.

Love potters leopards. Just make sure to get a real healthy specimen. Adding it last is a good idea. My ornate can be kinda nasty to newcomers. Well so can the sailfin but it usually subsides quickly

Cool video, Paul. I love the colors that glow under actinic only but it's so hard to capture them in pictures but you were able to get most of yours, loved the Zoas and that rainbow acan.

Thanks. Some are harder than others. The gel sheets make a world of difference.
Only way I'll have to judge is looks. My buddy is ordering it for me. It's a "small" sized one. I figure it will be a 50/50 chance on it doing good, but I have high hope. His last one he got and sold is still doing good, and it looked good as well. Here is an actual photo he took of the last one:

Where do you get the gel sheets? The one camera shop we had close by moved/closed about 2 years ago. I'm sure there is one around here somewhere I just need to do a search Or order online. I usually take lazy iPhone pics anyway though!

EBay. Pretty cheap too. They work good for phones as well.

Thanks Barbara
There are a boat load of glowing colors in that video. Hoping your new fish is healthy when it arrives. And so beautiful!
Thanks me too!
