I know of one that needs a good home

He is in a 120 now and needs way more room. He must be about 8x4" now and growing fast. Not someone from the board here but a very good friend of my brothers.

LOL, glad to see you're keeping the tank. It would be a shame to have to take it down after all the work you've put into it. Even though you seemed pretty excited about that puffer

Oh I woke up so disappointed this morning.

Maybe not disappointed because I do like how the tank is going (other than more cyano) but you know...I got excited at the chance to get the Golden. He is sooooooooo beautiful.

Still no updated pictures of the aquascape. Not quite done one side of the tank as I have been kind of lazy lately but I have finally gotten around to drilling rocks and making pillars with acrylic rods this time, so no more rock slides I hope!

I have added some corals and removed some. Lots of sps were given away to a friend and I have added lots of new softies and a few LPS. Finally starting to look like a mixed reef.

I also picked up a sweet carpet anemone. Its a bright green Stichodactyla Gigantea. I acclimated it yesterday evening and it it looks OK today. Not great but ok. We'll see how it does. They seem very hit or miss.

Here are the pictures. Its about half the size it was in J&L, so obviously still getting use to the new tank.

This is mostly what happens when I try to take pics of the tank But this picture actually gives you more of an idea of the nems true color. The next picture is a little dark. I can't figure out my camera!



And one where the fish were finally out of the way. It should be about 6-8" I think. It must have been at least 6" in the shop. Probably only about 4" in these pictures and you can see how closed up it is.

Yeah well that tank is her project and she is going ahead with it still and thats why I can't have yet another tank. 3 tanks in our place would be WAY too much.

It was me but i was only asking for her. She is now looking for the tank she wants to use. That tank is going in her closet though.
