Can't get any pics better than that til I invest in an underwater camera! Camera just won't focus through the curve and then there's the microbubbles...
Wow!....nice frags!.......and she even put them on the bridge.....front and center

Thanks guys! They are pretty awesome! Hope I can keep em alive too...this time. My track record with sps isn't too great. I failed in the 72G...lost a few, browned out the rest. We shall see if I can do things better this time. I hope to pay closer attention to my parameters this time. And no more leathers....
(but then.... I have yet to test Ca, kH or Mg... *procrastinating again*)

Yup...that's the bulb! Looks better hey! I will change out the other one eventually too but I like the color even now better than the insane blue hue)
It will be a LONG time before I am ever in the running for a TOTM Josh! Gonna take me forever to fill this thing up with corals...$ wise! Ofcourse it helps when friends donate free "COLONIES" !!! But thanks for the kind words!

Trying hard to love my tank right now but we just don't seem to be getting along these days. Perhaps the tank is giving me a kick in the a$$ for procrastinating! So...one of my BlueFace Tilefish is not doing well??? Swimming normally 2 hours before then laying on the sand. That was yesterday...noticed in the evening at feeding time. He is still alive today but not looking great. Dori also has a nasty ich outbreak (She always gets a spot or two but this is much worse). I am sure she will be OK since she eats like a pig but...
...I figured time to look at things perhaps to see if anything is out. Found my nitrates to be up (AHHHH!)so I am doing a W/C tonight. I am sure it's my own fault for neglecting the tank. Sorta having a rough time these days and sometimes just feel like maybe I don't have enough time or money to dedicate to the tank.

Also 100% sure my Flame is eating my brain. She has done some serious damage. I've covered it with a strawberry basket in hopes it may recover but now I am faced with the dilemma of what to do with my Flame? I love the Flame...but I love LPS...what are the chances that it will leave the other LPS alone???


Hoping things start looking up...
