Im thinking a frag/clam tank would be in order. Or I could babysit your clams for you

Just loved the video. Your pictures are great but there is nothing like seeing your tank in a video! Beautiful tank.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the compliments

I just got around to watching the video, for a while there I guess photobucket was having trouble so I'd get this blog "We're sorry! We're so sorry! OH GOD WE ARE SO SORRY, THIS IS LIKE A 1 in 1 BILLION KIND OF FAILURE NO WE'RE NOT HACKED but SORRY SORRY SORRY WE CAN'T SHOW YOU YOUR PICTURES AND/OR VIDEOS" instead of the actual video until late last night and I finally watched it.

Wow, that's some clean glass, BTW.

And everything inside it looks fantastic too. Nice sized colonies. Everything I own is like 1" and I'm all excited that they're not 0.75" anymore after 3 months. So .. um, yeah that's it, I quit this stupid hobby. My wallet thanks you for helping me to this decision!!!

No seriously, your tank does look great. I'll see if I still quit the hobby by the time I get home from work this afternoon. (I really should though...)

Bwahahahah, that cracked me up! Quietly though, kid is sleeping.

Yeah where have I heard that before

One thing tho, the growth from that 3/4" frag to a mini colony is frigging brutal, it takes like 6 months to a year but after that its amazing the growth changes. Its like it takes it awhile to settle in and realize that it can grow and then boom, it goes from mini colony to something of a decent size. I should show you the 30K lokani I've had for over a year. Its gone from 3/4" to 1" with two nubbin branches. If all my frags were like that yeah, I would have quit too

[lastlight]

nubbins phase is just brutal. I have a few pieces that have been comfy there for more than 6 months. I also have a bad habit of mounting coral too high too soon so in my tank I need to account for idiotRecovery phase which precedes nubbins phase.

yeah I did, I thought these guys would be larger. I think the 2" one will make it but I dunno about the 1" one. I have the crappiest luck with the little guys but maybe this time will be a success. Guess we'll just have to see.
