Those are great looking fish, Beau. Result of much blood, sweat, and tears.
Try hydrated lime for filamentous algae control. Ewest told me about the use of hydrated lime over a year ago, and we use it all the time.
It is messy but will improve water quality as well. Just spread it on algae mats at a rate of about 50 lbs per 1000 sq ft of filamentous algae. Wear eye protection and a dust mask, and use the wind if possible to keep the dust from blowing back to you.
It's ALL about the fish!

Much appreciated, they really are good looking specimens with the vertical bars on their sides,yellow tails and purple hue. I'm anticipating alot of fun with these guys. Thanks for the tip on the algae control. The fish adjusted and are feeding well.
