Swapped out the lighting from the 175w MH to a single 250w MH. We need a second 250w bulb to turn the second light on.

With the 175w bulb (XM 15K SE)


With the 250w bulb (AquaConnect 14K Plus)


This is what happens every time I try to work, my computer grows a dog. This one suffers from Roll-Over syndrome. As soon as you reach your hand out to pet her, something causes her to become a limp noodle and to immediately show you her belly.


Sump should be coming on Wednesday, and again we will be building it from scratch.

I love my macs, I will never use a PC again if I can help it. I have a MacBook and an iMac G5. I want to upgrade, but I can't bear to part with either of them.

It's looking really good, Catherine. Love the selection of fish you've got in there!

P.S. I have the same problem with a pet growing out of my Mac:

Seems to be a mac related problem! Nice iMac though, I eye it every time I head into the store.

Some photos to keep this thread alive;







Look! Still kicking!


So I think I've solved my SPS death problems. I am about 95% sure that something important, possibly a bacteria, died off on my rocks in my move in November. Accidentally the rocks from the 28g long were added to the 180g along with the rocks that were cooking in the garbage can. We decided to just play it by ear and see what happened. We added two frags of SPS shortly thereafter, and they have been doing fantastic ever since.

Nice pics! Love that first fish shot.. What type is that? And what type of Tang is that? (sorry if I missed what they were in earlier posts)

Its a Blond Naso, or Naso elegans, Naso lituratus. This fish is also known as the ring leader and the biggest pig in the tank.
