ya, she is moving here, and I like the twins:wink:

Don't believe him Grizz he's full of lies. Also while most guys really like the twins, everyone knows he's always been more of a wrasse man. Oh and if I have it my way (and I'm used to getting my way :twised:) he will be moving here :mrgreen:

Those are not the twins I was speaking of Doug, but I like the way you think :twised:

Oh yes we all know he is more of a wrasse man, you go girl keep him in check. I would imagine that it would be a hard to decide this one for sure.

no decisions necessary man.....its all goooood



call me a glutton for punishment......I couldnt resist the lure of the clam (no Greg Im not moving to E-town(yet:wink:))......even after losing ten clams in three weeks I decided to try a couple of the wee maximas that came into RC recently......not the best shots because the little clams were still really sensitive to movement and kept retracting every time I moved the camera.....gotta hate a sensitive clam:wink:......Ive got my fingers crossed that these do well....at least they were relatively cheap.....the little blue one is an "ultra" grade and the other two are "A" grade.....

http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o...2/IMGP5125.jpg

oh man, nice grab. I have been tempted to drop in but my bank account keeps telling me to wait till friday lol

Darn :pout:

Nice clams babe, makes me want one for my tank :biggrin:

:shocked!: ... Wow, soo awesome!

Definitely some nice clams here... I hope whatever pathogen took out your other clams is no longer in your tank.

I second that, I was to afraid of this and didnt even go see them at RC because I am weak and would have bought a couple. And the wife said NO CLAMS!! for a while at least :lol:

thanks brochcho!.......well like I said....there are relative inexpensive:twised:.


thanks babydoll......hey I left that comment open with a "yet":wink:......

thanks Josh......it looks better in person:biggrin:.......Im glad you too see the beauty in that one......Laurie doesnt really like it that much......she is one of these "if it isnt blue, then its not a nice clam" people:razz:......personally I like that one the most out of the three I took home.....

thanks guys......ya you all know that, that was my first thought about adding another clam to the clam killing tank........but, unannounced to the CR world,.......a customer came into the shop about three weeks or so ago with a couple fish, a starfish and a clam and said "we're shutting down our tank, here"......and just gave the stuff to the shop......I took the small derasa home.......its been in there three weeks and seems to be doing just fine......so Im REALLY hoping that my little clamissues are over with......

Nice pictures there Doug. What are you using for a camera?

Not really... it's always a stressful period wondering if they are still IN the tank.;) Then again I haven't had the pleasure of adding anything to a tank in sometime.. :cry:

with the upcoming Red Coral move Kevin asked me to babysit something that will likely become worth their weight in gold.....hopefully Kevin will correct me if Ive got the information wrong, but Australia has banned the export of Dendrophilia......so no more Dendros boys and girls.....so if you have some Dendros, take care of them!

and Girly wanted me to post pics of the octospawn that she is trying to talk me out of, because Ive mentioned how big its getting......its taking up a fair chunk of real estate in the small tank.....but if I give it to her my sexy shrimp and one porcelain crab wont have anywhere to live:mrgreen:

Brat! You know what I meant, I'm just glad it's lookin good, but of course in your tank I knew it would.

I like your brain, very purdy :biggrin:

Hey you're the one who keeps telling me it's taking up too much space and that you want to sell it. I am just offering space in my tank for it so you don't have to sell it :mrgreen:

Is it just me, or are you guys just a match made in Heaven??
And if you don't move soon, Canreef may just ban you two from posting!
I am just jealous because I wished that MY husband is as excited about my clams, corals, shrimps as you two are about each others pets!:mrgreen:

Btw, how much light do you have over your acans, Doug?
I cannot decide if I should move mine in or out of the shade. I have 250W MH over 24".
Lenny.

I resemble that remark



I dont really want to sell it.....but it is taking up a lot of space.......hmmmmmm maybe a bigger small tank is what I need:twised:

I tend to think so Lenny......I think the two of us sharing the same passion is cool.....although if she does end up moving here, I think that us being together and me at Red Coral could be a really dangerous combination.......can you say 10' tank!!!:lol:



my acans are under 240 watts of T5......light is 4" of the surface and my acans are from the bottom of the tank(20" deep) to about 6" off the bottom....all fully exposed.......tee hee ....I said fully exposed :mrgreen:.....hope that answers your que



here a few "dry" pics of the new pico tank.....still havnt found the time or motivation to set it up yet:redface:......looks to be well made from what I can tell.....I still need to pic up a couple things for it.....a wee small heater and maybe a Koralia nano....

cant wait to see what you do with the IBOX....

Yes you do :lol: :razz:


I told ya, you don't have to sell it, it can "visit" my tank. You would need a bigger sump and skimmer if you got a bigger small tank, best just to send it my way :twised:

Ya we'd be an even better match if one of us would cave and go live with the other :razz: We're both pretty stubborn that way neither of us likes the idea of moving and leaving friends and family. But yes if we do ever live together I think at least a 10 foot tank would be in order, and it's very nice to share the same passion but it can be costly too :mrgreen:

after the winter you guys just had i would have thought you would have WARMED UP to calgary by now... besides edmonton is just the capital while calgary is the beautiful rich city .....:mrgreen:

Now that's a cute box you have right there.

Were you talking to to me?......or Laurie?........oh! you mean the nano tank:redface:.......ya it is a pretty cute little box....Im thinkin maybe just some zoas and a pistol/yasha combo.....you should get you a wee box Sarah, I think you'd have fun with it....

I totally admit that this winter has royally sucked. I also agree that Calgary is a beautiful city, but my family and friends are in Edmonton, as well as I've been at the same job for 11 going on 12 years, I get lots of vacation time and good benefits which would be hard to pass up but sometimes change is good too. I also own my house in Edmonton and I hate the process of always keeping the house clean etc. when trying to sell it (went through that with my condo) and I also have moved around enough to know I absolutely hate packing!!!! Doug rents right now, and either way he would have to move (his rental doesn't allow pets and I have 2 dogs and a cat) so he should move here :mrgreen: Easier said then done, I know :wink:

Compromise and meet in the middle somewhere. Like, oh I don't know ... Borneo maybe. Palau. Bora-Bora. Lots-o-reefs there and slightly less snow. :lol: And exactly halfway in the middle of Calgary and Edmonton .. or at least, the difference is distance from these places to either C or E is going to be negligible, ergo, they are halfway in the middle.

:lol:.....you slay me Tony.....have I mentioned that before?......that sounds like a plan....Laurie and I actually joked about maybe going to work for Walt Smith in fiji................wait a second:ohwell:......your not just trying to get rid of us are you???
