Pooky's 300

What's the temperatur like up at the lakes during the summer? And is the lake water cold? I hate jumping into cold water, that's the reason we don't go into the beaches here that often. It's definitely a possible future destination once the kids are older.




Yep. He can sure make them glow. Now it's a matter of if I can keep those colors in my tank.

It can get nice and warm up there ... 80's and 90's in the summer months. The water is pretty decent in mid July through late August. It's nice and refreshing when it's hot outside. The water is way warmer than the SoCal coast water! Right now the ice is just about ready to break up on the lakes. We snowmobile on it in the winter and boat on it in the summer


That pearlberry is a beauty!

Leo's gem. He sure gets some crazy colors out of this one. No one believes their eyes when they see it.

Nice pickup Kenny. I just piked one up this weekend myself :thumbsup:.

Arrgghhh!!! I hate it when the skimmer overflows for no reason, at least none that I can think of. Between dropping my kids off at school this morning and coming home to some work on the computer, the skimmer has managed to dump almost 2 days of skimmate back into the sump, which now looks like a nice bubble bath :mad2:

At least mine was because I had a coral spawning in my tank. GL on the clean up Kenny.

Thanks Brian. It was just too pretty for me to pass up, even though it's rather common nowadays.

I likie. I bet the kids would love the fishing. Of course, they'll probably out fish their old man, again :lol:

It wasn't too bad. Nothing got out of the sump, just made it really nasty. Luckily, it's all in the garage so the stink wasn't too bad

I didn't notice the 2 little green spots until a couple of days later. It looks like they are centered around a couple of polyps. Almost look like a grafted piece. Any other owners out there having seen the same thing?

Damn that thing is bright. Looks like there are other spots forming to me.

Woohoo! Nice to see it in your tank, I'd given you a larger piece if you were over at my place.

Great Kenny! Now I'm blinded and running into walls cause everywhere I look I see a bright red spot.

If thats the orenji, then yes, mine has done that from time to time

Realized today that YOU'RE the one stealing all the nice fish from Richard and Frank! Geesh, you really are going after John's collection! :lol2:

Yeah, I noticed that too. Very interesting piece for sure. Let's see if it's the slow grower that everyone says it is.

Thanks Leo. I would come down and pick up a larger piece, but by the time I figure out when that would be, this one would've grown into a colony :lol:

Yep, that's the Orenji I got from John at CFM. It's very interesting pigmentation. Thought I had gotten a mutant or something

Not stealing, more like emptying my wallet :fun2: Trust me, a few more and I am done. Not a nut like John with tanks all over the house. My wife is tolerant but not that tolerant.

Sometimes it gets a gold sheen as well

 

[pookstreet]

Very nice. Can't wait until it puts on some girth like it's proud owner

Nice Kenny, I have yet to see green in mine but I haven't had it very long either.

As for the pearlbrerry, it pretty common hear too, but sure is pretty .
