Thanks for sharing the pictures, Paul. Maybe we can talk Lazylivin into taking some pictures of my reef with his camera. Brian photographed my reef a few years ago when all my corals were small frags, and his pictures were amazing.

My good friend Mark (Docsky) from Cincinnati offered me an Australian Copperband Butterflyfish (Chelmon rostratus) from his private collection to help me gain control over my recent aiptasia outbreak at the November Ohio Reef meeting. I added 25 adult aiptasia eating Berghia Nudibranchs to my system 3 weeks ago, and plan to add Docsky's fish to my system after QT. Mark had this Australian gem in his system for the past two years and I have been told the fish loves aiptasia!  :-ThumbUpsm

Here are a few pictures of the Australian Copperband being acclimated to one of my QT systems.

Awesome video!

-kinda looks like your tank Tim... and when I have my tank done you are welcome to come over and expand your reef into mine ;P
