well the glass is dirty and the over-all appearance hasnt changed all that much.....just a tank full of wee frags that are barely visable to the naked eye......I'll get on it soon.....need to take one for the 2011 FTS thread anyway....


heres a couple pics from the small tank, including a new friend for my blue assessor....I thought that my one expensive fish that I never see could use the friendship of another expensive fish that Ill probably never see.....a BSJ (blue spotted jawfish)....he shocked the heck out of me and actually found a spot right up against the front glass........ what is it about cameras????......I sit back and watch the fish and they are all out and about.....I put my face to the glass and there is an initial reaction of fear from my ugly face then they quickly settle down and go about their business.....but put a camera up in front of your face and.....WHOAH!!!!! WTF is that thing???? OMG its gonna get me!!!!!.....run for your life!!!!...... anyway best pics I could get so far....I might try leave the camera in front of the tank on the tri-pod for a couple days to let him get used to it....

Love the porcelain crab too. Man I miss mine, had two, one that I bought, one that hitched in on something. The hitchhiker was a little like that last one you pictured, but with more red and orange. The bought one was the typical whitish one. Guess like anything over time they get old .. 3 or 4 years for the one and maybe 5 on the other. You don't seem to see them offered up for sale hardly ever anymore. Could be that I'm just not looking in the right places in the right times mind you.

well some "up" news and some "down" news......

first the "up"..........I decide that the little Hagen Glo lights that I was using on the small tank were....um.....lacking......so I kicked things up a notch with a TEK 24" 4 bulb unit....the wattage didnt change( as I was running two, 2 bulb Glos), but the reflectors alone should make a big difference......that and now the lights on both the tanks match*said in a male hairstylist/designer type voice*

the other "up" thing is I picked up another feather duster....RC got some Hawaiians in and I took one that is almost completely white except for the middle which is an orangey/brown








now for the "down" news.......*sigh*.....and then there was two......I lost another clam.....that leaves me with two........I dont know whats worse.....loosing everything all at once(which really sucked)....or slowly loosing all of one particular thing over weeks, feeling helpless........I thought I would post a shot of my last remaining crocea (while I still can)...






A shot of my white porcelain crab avec octospawn, for Tony






I looooove this micro






a couple LPS.....blasto and spawn







and this is what happens when you are both, indecisive and lazy

That'd be awesome, please and thank you. I suppose they might get lost in the big tank but don't they sort of have territories? The white porcelain I had just lived in the green carpet, so hopefully they'd shack up in there.

Loving that feather duster. Might have to find me some room for one myself!
