hey I have a rock boring urchin you can have for free. It re-arranges my rock work and loves to tip huge rocks over

MY PRECIOUS! :razz:

um......ya..........no thanks:lol:



precious!???.....thats your undata frag sitting on the sand:razz:

Yeah I know i'm going to kick your urchins... rear prickles!

woooo hoooo dougs givin out free urchins!!!!

Seriously tho... how do you tolerate this thing? I make my goby put the sand back where he got it... this is a whole new level of chaos lol.

haha thats awesome can you come over and make mine do the same lol he needs some disipline as he leaves his sand all over the joint like he owns the place i may have to crack the whip a bit lol;pppppp

the rear prickles huh?:lol:

oh sure, he goes on the offence when I point out his frag on the sand:razz:.....I dont know what it is about this particular urchin......no other urchin I have ever owned has been as bad as this guy....this is also the same urchin that was wearing my Aussie scoly as a sombrero.......I probably will try and pawn this one off on some poor un-suspecting sucker.....er um I mean re-home him:mrgreen:


um...... see above statement......you want him?:wink:

I think the urchin's just don't like you. Since you put your scolly hat wearing urchin in my tank he's behaved himself fairly well......other then the one time he tried to walk off with my korallia......however that was more funny then problematic, well it was it bit problematic for him but not so much for me :lol:

you wanna see some growth?.....not the kind you need to see a doctor about.....and not the kind that requires a X rating.......coral kinda growth:mrgreen:

Really nice man!

I can't seem to capture the blue very well in my digi. It's high up and no matter what I do the light washes the blue right out. If I seriously under-expose the shot I can see the blue but then it's so dim it looks like I'm running LEDs so I dunno.

nice shot at LED mang:lol:........well if you notice, the only shot that really showed the blue/purple well was the top down.......have you tried that?.... I have a bit of a cheat tho.....my camera was underwater, about 3" away from the coral:wink:

I do relish a lovely bird......I'll call this post " the many colors of birds medley":mrgreen:

If I could get my tank to look maybe 10% as nice as this, I'd ... I'd ... well, I'd probably entertain thoughts like "if this tank doesn't turn around in the next 2-3 months I'm quitting the hobby" not nearly as often.

That first one is barely recognizable as a birdsnest, that's some shaggy polyp extension..

Everything looks real good...man you do love your birds I see.

That is probably the best picture Ive ever seen of a supman digi. Everybody always talks about them but your probably the first person Ive seen with one that actually has a nice blue base and red polyps.

whats not to like about birds?......I love the growth pattern they have....they grow fast and do well under a wide variety of conditions and thus are great for the ego:biggrin:


thanks Tony.....but cmon it aint all that bad is it?


thanks Darryl......Im stoked with how well its doing..... its tied for first, for my most fav monti......

man.....why are actinic shots so dang hard to take????.....heres a few that made the cut....

Gorgeous scolly man. Nice of you to show us the unshaven pits of your tank finally :lol:

Lmao!!!!!!!

thanks mang.....I love that scoly.....even though having it makes me nervous......most moulah Ive ever spent on a coral......Im always worried that something is gonna fall on it or eat it or something......

you werent sposed to notice my hairy pits:redface:.........the scoly is in the small tank that has no angels or tangs......and because of this, the algae runs rampant.....I literally prune out a couple handfuls every time I do a w/c.....once I move the contents (corals, fish and critters) up to E-town, Im going to rotate one rock at a time into the big tank and have the tangs and angels shave it down.......hopefully

I've honestly never really read about angels since I figured I'd never have any. Didn't know they were big algae eaters.

So which of your fish would eat that? Looks to be hair and maybe bryopsis?

My tangs and angels sure won't touch that stuff. :neutral:

ya ya......angels are big algae eaters......they constantly pick......unfortunately, at more than algae sometimes:neutral:....


it does kinda look like hair algae, but it is some kind of calerpra, similar to "feather"........my yellow tang and chevron pick at it ....there is some growing in the big tank, in the eggcrate overflow strainer, where it is hard for the tangs to reach......i see them up there from time to time trying to get to it......

The growth pattern on this coral is unreal, is this the setosa doug?

One of my favorite tanks, can't wait to see what you do with the big tank.

thanks Robb......tankuberrymutz:mrgreen:


Circle gets the square!!!!:cheer2:..... that is a "tyree" setosa.....I got it from Jonnybye when he shut his tank down......not sure where he got it from:noidea:

*sigh*......I dont know what Im gonna do with this guy.......my freakin urchin was at it again!......this critter is a serious klepto......this time he tried to abscond with my green BN .......anybody want a "problem" urchin!?


http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o...2/IMGP5947.jpg

Dang what a little bugger, I would have taken it yesterday when I was in town.

ya this urchin is one step away from being taken to see Zeus!:twised::mrgreen:

I can give him a home Doug .. I'm not sure what I have that I could offer in trade though.

with the reputation this guy is developing I was starting to think I may have to pay someone to take it:mrgreen:.......we can chat about it:wink:

IT'S ALL MINE BWAHAHAHA!

:lol:.....Im glad you like it Brochcho......and *said in a "Dances With Wolves" type voice* "Good trade":mrgreen:

Precious hopes when it grows up it can look fabulously bulbous just like his daddy.

Your pics are nice bro but don't do some of those colours any justice... granulosa especially! Think it's mostly a white-balance thing. Thanks again for the tank tours.

Can't wait for you to get up here to Edmonton and set up!!
Would love to see your corals in person!

Tank Party at Doug and Laurie's after you've settled down? We'll bring BEER!!
And NOT the Apricotty kind, either!

:lol: I thought that was the best kind :lol:

Sounds like fun :biggrin:
