well some "up" news and some "down" news......

first the "up"..........I decide that the little Hagen Glo lights that I was using on the small tank were....um.....lacking......so I kicked things up a notch with a TEK 24" 4 bulb unit....the wattage didnt change( as I was running two, 2 bulb Glos), but the reflectors alone should make a big difference......that and now the lights on both the tanks match*said in a male hairstylist/designer type voice*

the other "up" thing is I picked up another feather duster....RC got some Hawaiians in and I took one that is almost completely white except for the middle which is an orangey/brown








now for the "down" news.......*sigh*.....and then there was two......I lost another clam.....that leaves me with two........I dont know whats worse.....loosing everything all at once(which really sucked)....or slowly loosing all of one particular thing over weeks, feeling helpless........I thought I would post a shot of my last remaining crocea (while I still can)...






A shot of my white porcelain crab avec octospawn, for Tony






I looooove this micro






a couple LPS.....blasto and spawn







and this is what happens when you are both, indecisive and lazy

That is one sweet duster dude, I had 2 as well but one died off for some strange reason. But the up side was my guy Ryan at Big Als replaced it for free with 2 dusters that where growing together.

The downside for me as well is I too am down to 2 clams now. The latest clam to go was my very first clam I had purchased, it had sponge, mushrooms and little coco worms on the shell.

One day when your going past Red Deer area it would be great to have you stop by and give me a few pointers to help me get some SPS going and living.

Sorry to hear of the clam Doug.

That 'micro'... that's not an acan? I have something that looksa lot like it and it's an acan. I'm still fairly crap with IDs.

When are you going to frag your eggrate lol?

acans and micros are soooo closely related.....micros tend to have a smaller head size and appear slightly smoother than acans....have a look here at a google search I did.... http://www.google.ca/images?q=microm...w=1280&bih=802.....scored that one from Blueworld in E-town

That'd be awesome, please and thank you. I suppose they might get lost in the big tank but don't they sort of have territories? The white porcelain I had just lived in the green carpet, so hopefully they'd shack up in there.

Loving that feather duster. Might have to find me some room for one myself!
