    Thank you for looking.

    Bought a conductivity probe and expansion card at the weekend, got home and tried to calibrate it and realised they gave me 1.41ms fluid, which I believe is for freshwater. So I'm unable to calibrate it currently.

    Also, my remaining fish have perished in the holding tank at the shop, not sure why, other than it's not a stable long term environment with all the swings and water being removed and added to their fish system. Bit of a bummer, lesson has been learnt the hard way though.

    I've created a stock list for the tank:

    Pink Skunk Clowns x 2 (Amphiprion perideraion)
    Blue Spot Jawfish (Opistognathus rosenblatti)
    M&F Yasha Goby (Stonogobiops yasha)
    Splendid Leopard Wrasse (Macropharyngodon bipartitus)
    Barnacle Blenny x 5 (Acanthemblemaria macrospilus)
    Tanaka's Pygmy Wrasse (Wetmorella tanakai)

    My cycle completed last Friday, I have the first additions and signs of life added today. Added some CUC as well and a Porcelain Crab which is doing a good job of evading the camera.

    Thanks Al.

    I have some cool critters on order so hopefully they'll arrive next week. I've ordered a pair of Yahsa's and a Randalls shrimp which will be several weeks away.

    Few more pics.

    Thank you both.

    Current set up is Nikon D600 with a Sigma 105mm HSM macro lens. This is used most of the time. Sometimes I use a SB700 as well for fish pics. The light source from above really shows the detail nicely.

    That's a sweet set-up you're using Aaron. I would guess you take a LOT of pictures. You have a talent for sure.

    Now if we can just convert you over from radion's to GHL Mitras. This would take this tank to the MAX

    Thanks Al. That may be sooner than you think. Watch this space.

    I've had my lighting delivered today, there's a change of plans to my equipment list. I'll get my Mitras 6200HV hung in the next day or so which will replace my Radion as I'm testing the unit.
