"It's not mine"

Awe I feel all warm and fuzzy seeing all my creatures. That green clam certainly does look great.

Thanks again for looking after them. Can I post your photos to my RC thread to show that not everything is dead?

Of course!

Awesome, thank you. I posed a link on my RC thread so that anyone who wants to can come see.

I'm hoping that things will be ready to roll in another couple of weeks. All the levels are dropping in the 180g, but I think I need some more LR to make sure the bacteria populations are still good to go.

cool. How tall is that tank?

They look amazing. I am so happy they are doing so well. I definitely do miss seeing them every day!

And I'm going to miss them when they go home.

And I think my rabbits and dottyback will miss the other fish too. It's really interesting watching them interact. When I put nori in, the 3 tangs and the 2 rabbits all approach it en masse like a school. Each one will take a bite or two and then poof, they all scatter in different directions. Then they regroup, reapproach and renibble. And then repoof, and repeat. I have to try to get a video of it before you come reclaim them. (I rewonder rehow many more rewords that start in "re" I can reuse in a single reparagraph.)

I also need to post an updated shot of Discusz's brain coral too because it has doubled in size (I didn't realize by how much until I saw again those pictures at the top of the thread!)

Wes, the tank is 30" tall - 30x30x30 cube.

Thanks Scott. It's not often I manage to get things in focus. Things always look good on the camera, then I upload the pictures and go .. "ohhh man!! dang it!"

I did this one with manual focus. It just seems that underwater shooting confuses the autofocus on this camera .. but I use it for top-downs because it's small enough to fit over top of the tank without creating too many shadows.

I can't get over how green that one clam is... now I want one like that for myself!!

Hahah, well I'll let you know if I see another like it. The funny thing about my clam purchasing is that it is totally random. I'm never really looking for anything in particular. Sometimes I pick the "ugly" or very "normal" clam when they are tiny just because. Sometimes I don't even look at them top down!
