Wow they look great that king henlie and male bd are tops.
Watch for an ammonia spike with that much new bioload introduced.
Great buys I'm very envious.

I beleive! I beleive! There really is a Santa! The other half of the gift is expected to arrive just shortly after Christmas, was suppose to be here already! But better late then never. Going to set it up as soon as it arrives, going to be a few very very long days and late nights!

Those rays are beautiful and some of the nicest black rays i have seen. I could not imagine recieveing 5 boxes of fish at once, let alone the contents of each box that you recieved. Id be shaking the whole time. I think you got christmas presents covered for at least the next 10 years!

What size tank are they in now? 6x3x2? any shots of fitration?
