Sorry to hear about your granddaughter Sally. Glad to hear she'll be okay!!

The fish sounds very interesting. Can't wait to get pictures of it!

I hope your Granddaughter is ok. I'm surprised I didn't see anything about it on the news. I live about 20-25 minutes away from Suffield. I'm sure she'll be back to her Throne and other Royal duties in no time. Being a princess carries a lot of responsibility!

 

[lossman]

LOL, too true!! She has already posed for her "blue blood proof" pictures. I called my son and daughter-in-law friday late afternoon but they could not talk as they were on the news and had to show the Princess her very first "press conference". LOL

I am really sorry to hear about your little princess. The drunk was caught and arrested I hope.
I would love to see a pic of your new fish. Sounds quite interesting.

Hey all,

I got some new aquistions this weekend

First of all, I FINALLY put up gutter guard to protect against fish jumping. The back is now 90% covered. I will add a little more eggcrate or gutter guard this coming weekend to get it up to 95% with just room for wires going in and out.

My clownfish has a new buddy! The new "guy" went into the main tank and looked around pretty scared for a bit, then he saw the other clownfish and they instantly became buddies and haven't been apart since

I bought a 1" frag of orange Montipora digitata, I love the color and it had its polyps out 1/2 hour after being put in the main tank.

The seller of the digitata threw in two frags of a brown/green monticap for FREE I hope it survives, my last monticap died after about 4 weeks. Of course my last one was in my QT tank for I think 3 weeks under bad light. Here is one of the frags:

Of course a small piece broke off of one of the cap frags and immediately RTN'd. I hope now that my Ca and Alk levels are higher and stable this cap will pull through.

Normally I QT things, but since these frags are from one of the best local fraggers known to be pest free I just very carefully visually inspected them with a magnifying glass and acclimated them to the main tank. I also put the clownfish in the main tank as it comes from our local clownfish breeder that keeps things disease free.

Brain, glad to hear the new clown found a buddy right away. That has to make it so much easier.
Nice frags!!
I have to wait for warm weather to get my frags.
We're going to FL in a couple of weeks so when we get back the weather should be nicer up here. Can't wait for vacation and warm weather!!

I have to wait for warm weather to get my frags.

And they're coming along nicely too I might add. Got rid of those pesky little bugs and things have started growing like crazy.

hi every one. glad to see there are still active contributors to this thread.

its not looking like im going to be getting back into reefing anytime soon, but i wanted to touch base and check things out anyway.

Pat, i like your swallowtail pics. back in Feb you made a comment about wanted a male really bad. im pretty sure that if you put another female in with the one you have one would change over. that LFS i shop at has four females in a display. one of them has been changing over the past few weeks and is almost a male now.

every one else very nice pics/corals/fish/etc...

 

[BrianPlankis]

Hey Landon,

Nice to see you check in! Let us know when you get back into reefing But keep commenting here so our "family" stays alive.

Speaking of pics, what about the people on here with new rock, any new pics?

Brian

 

[H2OLUVSME]

[skippy2]

Hi Landon. How you doing? Hopefully things have settled down for you.

Full Tank Shot

Full Tank Shot

Well here is the latest full tank shot I have. This was at the end of last month and the pic isn't all that good.

 

[krajacich]

Sorry I haven't posted for a while....lots of traveling lately!

My tank is pretty much the same. I got my new lights but haven't gotten them on the tank yet since I was still working on the hood. I still need to do a few things on it (paint/stain) but hope to get that done this weekend.

I'll try to get a full tank shot tonight.

Landon- great to see you stop by especially if you're able to motivate lots of people to post pics!

Blurry pic from 10 minutes ago through dirty glass.

 

[bkelley02]

WOW. I got a lot stuff crammed in there!:eek1: Doesn't look quite so bad in person. Lose the depth in the pic I guess. Yeesh!

Here's a recent full tank shot of mine:

 

[bobt2]

so where did everybody go? moving on i think.last year at this time i was asking a million questions about my new tbs 7 months ago i bought a second, bigger tbs package and yesterday i sold my first frags. where does the time go.

 

[drk70]

I'm still here, just don't have as much time to post as I did in the past.

I was the same way about a year ago.

What did you sell? A couple weeks ago I got over $200 for xenia frags. Of course it was in store credit but it works for me. I spent $160 of it that day.

 

[bobt2]

my first sale was xenia. i,m setting up a frag tank for leathers and other softys. my lsf will not even give me food!

I'm thinking of setting up a frag tank permanately.

You sold them to someone and not a store? My lfs is happy to take them. I actually think they sell them within a week or so because I have never seen any of my frags sitting in their tanks when I go back.
