That looks great. I have cobalts and labs as well, my labs continously spawn for me, I believe I am on my 3rd batch. Now if I could only get the others to spawn.

I love the rock placement you did, where did you find the rock?

zach, put an actinic light along with your 10000k. It will make the fish looks better.

Thanks! I would be happy just to see the other fish come out of hiding! I got the rock from:

Northwest Landscape & Stone Supply
5883 Byrne Road
Burnaby, BC V5J 3J1
(604) 435-4842

I was considering that when i was planning the tank. Unfortunately, I have had a real hard time in the past finding the right fixture and bulbs. However, if i do come across one i will for sure pick one up!

Update!!!

New lighting!!!!!
SolarMax HE2 T5 Strip Light - 36" 21w x2. A 10,000k Daylight Bulb, an Actinic-03 bulb, and 6 Blue moonlight LEDs; Independent bulb controls!

New inhabitants!!!
17 2'' Yellow Labs
4 3'' Synodontis Eruptus
1 6'' Synodontis Eruptus

Ive noticed that the Blue Cobalts are coming out of hiding more frequently! This may be due to the influx of new inhabitants already patrolling the tank freely!

Anyways more pics!!!!! Yay!!!
