Looks like I better save up for a good magnet scraper!
I see now what you meant about how hard it is to take a good pic of the circle tank!

I'm trying to tinker with the settings like you showed me but can't say as I'm all that happy with the colors still. Not the best camera, I know. I'll keep playing around with it...maybe get the hang of it eventually.

2 New additions...picked up a Red-Striped Skunk Goby this week and another Flame Angel last week from RC. Just couldn't resist! I miss my flame angel so much and the Skunk's are such a neat looking fish and I've never seen one before.
Brought home the skunk goby, acclimated him, put him in and he INSTANTLY JUMPED! Jumped right into the overflow..!!!!!! Then he proceeded to try jumping out of there and landed on the little 1/2" slit between the overflow and tank (hard to describe) that runs the full depth of the overflow and just as I go to scoop him off, he wriggles down the slit! NOW WHAT? I can't even shine a light down there it's so narrow. Tried to scoop him out with wire, sticks, you name it! Eventually gave up. Checked on it one last time before bed only to find the little dude back in the overflow! Managed to scare him back to the top where I scooped him into the tank. AND.......wouldn't you know it.....he tried jumping again! I managed to corral him to the bottom of the tank where he vanished under the rocks hiding with the gudgeon pair. What an ordeal!
So the little guy showed up for feeding 24 hours later. He has been out and about on occasion and hides out with the gudgeons, which I thought was abit weird. They are similar shape and I thought they might chase eachother but not so. He is about 4" long and almost eel like. Quite an active fish. I will hold my breath as to how long this little guy stays put without jumping again...may not be so lucky next time! Hoping the 30" keeps him satisfied and with less reason to "skim the top"!




Pucker up....SMOOCH.... Flame is such a character and is doing fantastic! Immediately upfront and center!

Sounds like a great time was had by all!

Flame looks like she had some work done on her lips, sporting the Angelina look. Nice!

Well I wasn't exactly having fun...spent the entire night cursing!! Worked out in the end I suppose!

Perhaps we shall name her "Angelina!"

It is no small task to clean but....I am NOW the proud owner of a MAGNAVORE Algae Magnet (thanks Dez) and let me tell you...those magnets WORK INCREDIBLE! Even takes off coralline! I am so much happier now. I do have to use 2 hands and put all my weight into it just to push the magnet...a real workout...but I don't have to get wet!
Thanks!
