Ummm, pics?

Oops sorry griss, I meant for your reply to be with the pics above.

 

[griss]

Wow, looks better every time I see it

 

[Misled]

Looks really nice Dawn.

Looks really nice Dawn.

Yes it does Jesse. I’m starting to not like Dawn

Jesse even knows me and still likes me, LOL!

Thanks Jesse, this tank is in a sweet spot. I almost hesitate to even say that as I am afraid an impending down turn will be forthcoming. I don't actually think that I have ever had a tank that looked this good coral wise. I have always done well with fish but coral were hit or miss.

I'm heading to Elmer's. This may not end well.

You mean as not well for your pocketbook? @griss, I can tell you are confused but Elmer's is one of our lfs.
Jesse, let me know if you see anything interesting.

They have condy's for 24 bucks. Fish selection isn't good unless you want clowns. I'm looking at tanks. Going to be nice and make a small fresh for the wife, and a small salt for me.

Ah, thanks for the clarification.

That's how the fish selection was the last time I was in there.

Very cool Jesse. I will be anxious to see what tank you choose and then watch it progress. If you want any frags or some macroalgae of anything I have, just let me know and it's yours. ( I always appreciated that you gave me a smoke bush and the crepe myrtle. I still have them.) I remembered at one point you wanted some codium and mine is still doing well. I have a small piece of purple plume gorgonian from the one that did not ship well. I had to trim the mother gorg up and this little frag might be just right for a small tank and is doing well. Also, I have lots of BTAs which may have descended from yours, although they may be too much for a small tank, idk.

Beautiful pics Dawn! Yeah, the seahorse statue is fitting in nicely. Your tank must be so fun to watch with all that life in there, and now with the added current, your fish seem to really enjoy it.

I made a video of my tank over a week ago and just now got to posting it. I've been a bit busy. You can see my laziness in my tank. I think that I need to call a landscaper (waterscaper) LOL.

Thanks Kevin for the positive feedback on the seahorse statue. It is blending in the way I had hoped with coral and macroalgae now. It really did stick out like a sore thumb at first.

The tank is great fun to watch. I, like you, enjoy sitting back from afar and observing what the fish and inverts do as a natural course of their day. There are 10 fish, (5 larger and 5 smaller) and very little bullying so the tank is in a good place that way.

Your video is inspiring me to try and make a similar one of my tank. I do not have the gift of narrating as naturally as you however. I need to stop being self conscious and just share some of the fascinating things that intrigue me and hopefully that will be contagious to the viewer.

I think that you are doing a fine job waterscaping your own tank, no need to call anyone else in my opinion!

 

[Chasmodes]

Ah you should just go for it in your vids. Just pretend you are talking to us directly telling us about your tank!

Thank you for the wonderful compliments!

 

[vlangel]

Ok Kevin, I tried it as far as narrating a video. Ha ha, the problem is I forget the names of stuff when I feel under pressure. But maybe with practice I will get better at it? Anyway here it is!

You're welcome.
For a first timer you did a bang up job.
It's always nice to hear a voice to connect to a person.
Thanks for the presentation.

Aw thanks, you are too kind Vinny. Ha ha, I hate the sound of my own voice.
