Thanks guys, I really thought he'd pull through and then he went downhill so fast on Sat. I did what I could but it didn't help :sad: and Lance no worries, it's easy enough to click on the wrong face.

Me + AI + garage sale = new lights and more frags :mrgreen:

I took a whole bunch of cool underwater pic.'s (thank-you Dez for telling me what settings to use) however the battery died right after :twised: So a few pic.'s from the other camera will have to do for now.

New lights: I bought two AquaticLife dual-lamp T5 HO fixtures. Great thing about them is they attach together to become a 4 bulb fixture.

Im glad Im not the only one with a single head of Duncan in their tank :) Mine just popped out its first branch... its still maybe half the diameter of a dime.. but the main stalk is pushing close to the size of a quarter now. :)

Nice looking cube by the way :)

Thanks. I bought the frag at AI's garage sale 2 weeks ago, it was $10 a head so I figured I'd spend the $10 and watch it grow more :biggrin:

Thanks I've added 3 more frags and an elegance coral since that pic. I took some underwater close ups of the sps frags but I haven't gotten around to posting them yet. The elegance coral is cool but it was supposed to be in my reef tank, however my CBB thought it tasted good, so for now it's in this tank.

Edit: a friend of mine took the elegance coral.

When I was in Calgary last week I bought some new sps from Red Coral to bring back with me. I also dropped off a shipment of sps for Wes (Bluetang<3) that he ordered from RC and much to my pleasant surprise he gave me a bunch of sps for delivering them.

So Doug (fishytime)........here's the pic.'s I promised.....of my "wee box" that you helped stuff even more :razz:

I took a few more pic.'s but my camera is acting up and wont connect to the computer right now so I'll have to wait until later to share them. Also thank-you Doug for showing me how to set my camera so that the pic.'s turn out good.

I also am in the process of setting up a 10g bowfront tank right beside my cube tank. This tank will be for my mantis, I figure it will be nice for Mr. mantis to have his own tank and not be stuck in the sump anymore, because a lot of flow goes into it and he hides all the time.
