Mine took like 3 weeks to come inI'm excited to start it up, just need to wait for everything to come - the chinese lily pipes probably will slow me down the most

What filter will you be using, Bud? You can always start the tank and add on the Lily pipes later. Not to mention the potential for hardscape layout and DSM if you wanted... although DSM bores they heck out of me! Lol
Sounds good Bud, I can't wait to see what you got cookin'.
Joey, I took water tests last night on my 60p. Ammonia is at 1ppm. I'm wondering if I should just leave it or do a PWC? I'm thinking the ammonia will help the BB thrive and grow faster for the cycle. What do you think?
Yeah fishless... I added a lot of well seeded biomax in the filters. Plus on the plants were from my established tank so I'm sure some BB hitched a ride on them as well. I just know aqua soil leaches ammonia like crazy...but I'm using a 50/50 mix of AS and Fluval Stratum so the ammonia wouldn't be as much... but given my 1ppm reading, it's certainly leaching nonetheless. Joey... how long did the AS in your tank leach ammonia?
Btw, I just noticed this strange behavior with the harlequins. Two of them separated themselves from the school and were swimming side my side mimicking each others movements. Ten they would swim upside down for a sec and rub around each other. Anyone have this happen before?
Hahaha thanks for the laugh, bud. And the infoKinky In all seriousness, though, that's what my silvertip tetras do when they spawn

Here's a link about parallel swimming amongst stream fish: http://www.auburn.edu/academic/science_math/res_area/loricariid/Armbruster_pubs/Parallel.pdf
About (ocean) sharks I was actually thinking more about the threatening posture (jaws agape, hunched back) they can display but not necessarily towards each other. Watched too much shark week.
Speaking of sharks, here is a link describing the "dance" between a pair of red tail sharks. Later it mentions that this act may be a pre-spawning ritual: Tropical FIsh TV: Red Tail Shark
