I feel for you. Some of these guys I've had for almost 5 years now.
I just hope I never have to experience what happened to you guys. ------------- 335G Reef TOTM. http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2015/2/aquarium ReefKeepers TOTM Feb. 2012 http://reefkeeping.com/joomla/index....k-of-the-month & |

These guys are in my 65g and have had them for almost 5 yrs now.
I've tried to get pix of my six line for years and today he wasn't camera shy.
As you can see, he eats as good as I do.

Gorgeous shot Brad!
As you know Wrasses are near impossible to photograph well.

Great shots of a fat and healthy wrasse. Seeing this fish in real life was a surprise to me. One of the biggest six lines I've seen.

Thanx for the teaser Brad. WOW, I can't wait to see it in real life on Wednesday! Awesome, just plain awesome! Or as my wife would say: "Bloody marvellous".
See you soon.

Thanks everyone! And yes, I have the Canon XSI . Most of these shots were taken with the lens it came with and 100m macro lens
A couple of them were taken with my Kodak,
 At least I know how to use that one.Neil, I hope you can still come by around 7 pm, That way it will give me an hour to spruce the tank up a bit.

If you're going to go to Brad's house to see his tanks for the first time, don't worry about being speechless w/ your jaw on the ground. I'm sur he's used to it by now. ------------- Jason Tooele, UT |

I got a REAL good shot of my six line today... I cant believe those teeth. No wonder they tell you not to add any other wrasses with them, he would shred them in no time flat.
I also added a couple new colonies to my 65g. Thanks Birdworld for keeping me poor.

I don't remember exactly when I first visited Brad, but it was not too long after he joined the WMAS. It may have been around 2000.
I usually have a few things to say and tips to share when I visit new members, but I remember thinking at that time how I was learning from him rather than the other way around.
He truly has a wet thumb.  ------------- Reefkeeping Tips, & quick, easy setup tricks: www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9244 Pay it forward - become a paid WMAS member
