Just so you know the frogfish I have in the tank now (the one in the pic.'s in this thread) I got from Ken. I named him Bumblebee and he is alive and well and finally consistently eating silversides.

The reason people at the beginning of this thread said sorry to hear about froggy is because I originally I set up this tank for my friends small grayish frogfish. However once the tank was ready for that frogfish to come live in it, I went to my friends to pick it up, only to find it dead

Murphy's law he had it for about a year and it dies the day I go to pick it up.

So a couple of weeks later I went to Blue world and found Bumblebee (a sargassum frogfish) and the tank is now his home along with a fu man chu lionfish I named Fireflight.

Here's some new pic.'s of my fish and my crab. (frag pic's another day when I have more time before bed)

Bumblebee, who was hungry today and actually came to the tweezers for food before I could go to him, and ended up eating 2 piece's of silverside because he stole Fireflights food! Don't worry though because I got another piece for Fireflight, which he ate.

Fireflight

Mr. crab, who hangs upside down in the rock trying to filter feed.

I also often hear popping sounds coming from the tank and my friend that I got the rock from said he was missing a candycane pistol shrimp, so I'm pretty sure he's in there but I have yet to see him. When I do I will post a pic.

Me + AI + garage sale = new lights and more frags

I took a whole bunch of cool underwater pic.'s (thank-you Dez for telling me what settings to use) however the battery died right after

So a few pic.'s from the other camera will have to do for now.

New lights: I bought two AquaticLife dual-lamp T5 HO fixtures. Great thing about them is they attach together to become a 4 bulb fixture.

Im glad Im not the only one with a single head of Duncan in their tank

Mine just popped out its first branch... its still maybe half the diameter of a dime.. but the main stalk is pushing close to the size of a quarter now.

Nice looking cube by the way

Thanks. I bought the frag at AI's garage sale 2 weeks ago, it was $10 a head so I figured I'd spend the $10 and watch it grow more

My favourite thing to watch happen, tiny frag turn into larger colony

Its a good feeling

When I was in Calgary last week I bought some new sps from Red Coral to bring back with me. I also dropped off a shipment of sps for Wes (Bluetang<3) that he ordered from RC and much to my pleasant surprise he gave me a bunch of sps for delivering them.

So Doug (fishytime)........here's the pic.'s I promised.....of my "wee box" that you helped stuff even more

I took a few more pic.'s but my camera is acting up and wont connect to the computer right now so I'll have to wait until later to share them. Also thank-you Doug for showing me how to set my camera so that the pic.'s turn out good.

I also am in the process of setting up a 10g bowfront tank right beside my cube tank. This tank will be for my mantis, I figure it will be nice for Mr. mantis to have his own tank and not be stuck in the sump anymore, because a lot of flow goes into it and he hides all the time.
