It's a rare occasion that all four ponies come out at the same time to eat...I had to take a quick pic.

Hahaha....do it, do it, do it.
They're really low maintenance, imo....all we do is feed them twice a day. As you can see, they're getting big, and fast. If they have babies, and I can get a few to survive, I'll send a few your way bro.

Lol two min after i posted i had jumped out of bed and started setting one up . Its a half moon tank idk gallons but took 10 gallon to fill so maybe 12 gal . Already had water made for reef w/c so took reef water and sand i had laying around and got her up and running. Nice having everything laying around. I just have to rebuild light and mount bam pony tank. My wufe been bugging me for ling time actually for one we had ponies for 4yrs while back .

Lmao!!! Wow, you don't wait around! Even when it's cloudy, it looks great. I think they'll really appreciate the half moon due to the curve, and they won't bump into the corners. And it's a nice height. Are you doing soft corals, micros, etc.?

Thanks Jeff, the chiller is doing a fantastic job. We keep the tank set at 74°, and right now as I type this, it's at 73.5°. The ponies are really active in this temp range vs 77ish. Thanks again.

Cool...well, the wifey should be nice and happy now. Yeah, I'm glad I have a chiller on the tank, it's one less thing to worry about. I'd love to do dwarfs, but they only eat freshly hatched brine shrimp, and I didn't feel like that additional project.
