Default Jan 15 Update
FTS


Lost a couple corals and things looking a little rough this month. I was gone for 2 weeks and the tank is slowly recovering. Stupid Nanos!

A couple more pics. Most of these were taken with my new camera and case I got for Scuba Diving and snorkeling. Just trying it out.

I don't think that acro is doing to well... aka.... dead. The large brain on the front left has to be my favorite in this tank. Nice specimen!

What is the tiny red guy between the squammie and the Trachyphyllia?

Yeap some kind of red mushroom, I'm guessing it hitchhiked on the clam as it just showed up one day

I lost the two SPS corals and one of the welso's got too close to one of the lobo's and they both got damaged but should recover. I just did a large water change so most stuff isn't looking the greatest but I'll get things back on track, hopefully

What do you think of the pics from the new camera? It's a Canon G9 with underwater case.

Looks like he may have lost his Montipora sp. just below the Acropora sp. as well. But like he said, gone for two weeks and had some issues.

More to Steve's credit is the fact that he has left them in there and hasn't tried to just "erase" them from his budget! Now that's the honour system.
