Things are going nicely Marc. A couple of quick comments. On the lighting you can buy cheap 4' shop lights for $10 to $15 each and then put full spectrum lighting bulbs for plants in them. You can buy those bulbs at Wal-Mart no less for abouit $8 each. So 3 X $15 for the lights, + 6 X $8 for the bulbs = $93. Less than $100 with tax included. You can't touch metal Halide for that and you will have a very nice indoor lighting.

Your fish are doing well indoors. I love the kohaku, but also look at the sanke with interest. I have read many times where the color of the hi on the head will match as the fish matures. I like the soft persimon color on the sanke's body right now and look forward to it matching the head in the years to come.

Congrats to both of you on the indoor progress.

Rick
