kayla, would you mind elaborating on why you are moving the horses?
Sure, Louis. Actually, I will be visiting your country this summer (I can't wait! :D), and I don't want to placed the added responsibility of frequent feedings/water changes on my parents, who will already be doing a lot to ensure my tanks are running smoothly. In addition, I will be going to college fairly soon, so it's really only a matter of time before a new home will be in order for much of my livestock, but I can't think of that at the moment...taking it one step at a time is enough.

Thanks again for the compliments. Happy Reefing to all.
 
Kayla,
Thanks for sharing these beautiful pictures with us. Can you tell me what lens are you using for those shots?
Thanks,
FA
 
Very nice pics and tank Kayla it really is a shame that you have to remove any of the healthy things in it.
With the right words i'm sure you can have your parents take care of your tank. My parents have been taking care of my 80G for 9 months now and I still have to loose anything. It even looked better than when I was taking care of it when I last saw it 1 month ago.
all it took was telling few persons in fron t of them that I had to take it down just because I don't think that anyone will be able to take care of it.... then a chalenging atitude (that I predicted) suddenly came out " why do you think that we can't care for something that you have been taking care of so easily for years....
short story tank is still running while waiting for a new tank to be sestup in my new country.
anyway great pics please share which camera and lense.
 
Amy - Unfortunately, I am a bit too far from home to snap any new shots...Australia is quite awesome, though. :D

Maroun.C - Thanks for the words of encouragement. I left my parents a detailed list of what needs to be done while I'm gone to keep the tanks in order. Hopefully, everything will look the same upon my return.

The pics were taken with a simple Canon Powershot A95 (no added lenses, etc.). It's not the best camera, but I've managed to learn how to get decent pics.

Really Kayla that is one of the best horse tanks I've seen. I sincerely hope you come home to healthy animals.

Thanks, Amy! I do too...however, I did give up my seahorses before leaving, mainly because I feared they wouldn't get the proper care needed, and I didn't want to burden my parents with additional tasks. It wasn't easy, but I was ensured they were going to good homes, and I can always get more in the future.

I do have a couple pics of the tank I took before leaving. Enjoy! :)

Kayla I hope you are enjoying Australia! I suppose you will be in SA mostly eh?

It never cease to amaze me how fat your mandarin is! Mine is eating very well now, I think she grew out of being picky.
