    Sherman Tank 120

    Mine were all very fat and colored nicely. The male was even beginning to develop that mature hump behind his head, up top. I used to feed at least twice daily, sometimes more. I don't think it was a lack of feedings. You can see that one coming with skinny fish.

    Halimedia turned white overnight

    And now you wait for the new halimeda to start growing out of every nook and cranny of your reef! It's not as bad as I understand caulerpa to be, but halimeda can become pretty aggressive. It also has a major calcium and alkalinity uptake, so be careful. I remember reading in an article that...

    Sherman Tank 120

    Interesting, Luis. That's EXACTLY what my last two did. It makes you wonder if there's some sort of specific care item that we're all unaware of, that certain tanks have and others don't. What were yours eating, specifically, do you remember? My tank is fed a frozen mash-up based around rinsed...

    Sherman Tank 120

    So then, updates. I lost all four of the anthias. I'll probably never know why. They were all healthy and eating well just before they died. In one of the photos below, you can see all three females schooled up, behaving normally, just a couple days before they disappeared. I sent an email out...

    Anyone ever seen one of these available??

    Sorry, I'm gonna stick to it. I've been around Photoshop WAY too long not to recognize when someone got out of hand with the saturation slider. It also seems to be amplified by the white balance. Either way, don't expect any fish to look like that in your home aquarium.

    Photoshop for the win! Beautiful fish, but don't let that first posted photo mislead you.

    my heater broke

    I'm actually the opposite when it comes to glass/titanium. Metal conducts electricity, glass doesn't. When heaters fail, it's typically electrical. I've never had anything but perfect reliability from my Jager glass heaters. And they're made out of Pyrex glass, which is extremely resilient to...

    The ShermaNANO, a 12g project

    Yeah, but I leave the front lid area open for cooling. It's about 4" deep and the width of the tank. I read this fish was a jumping hazard, but I'd never seen it do anything but sit at the bottom of the tank, so I wasn't real concerned. I've never seen him anywhere near the surface of the water. :(

    The ShermaNANO, a 12g project

    And this morning I found the goby on the carpet. <sigh> ...And he was doing so well, too. Looks like the 12g is back to QT status again.

    i'm fed up

    Gabs, the human gestation period is roughly 9 months, while a year typically consists of a full 12 months. Basic math says we start trying for another in a couple months. :) :p

    i'm fed up

    Tanya used to be a teacher. She quit to stay home with Paige (and the next one... hopefully about a year out.) She taught sixth grade, right where they start learning how to really test the waters, so she knows how to shut kids down. It's all about being deadly consistent. If you offer the exact...

    i'm fed up

    She's clearly the role model parent herself. Tanya and I have become parenting nazis, in a sense. Not to start a nature versus nurture storm, let's just say I believe that your parenting will STRONGLY shape your child into his/her adulthood. When Tanya was a teacher, she dealt with 32 new sets...

    My tank today

    Everything's coming along nicely, Dee! Keep us updated with photos. Someday, maybe I'll have to sneak my camera in there for a shot or two.

    Tagging along. Thanks for all the photos!

    My New Toy

    That poor car still has the 2005 tags on the license plate, even though the 2006, 2007, and 2008 are all in the glove compartment. I picked up a new hobby about 3 years ago (no, I don't have a reefing problem) and the car fell by the wayside. I've just recently been inspired to drive it again...

    Imagine that. Looks nice, Krish. :)

    Krish, you painted it white... again? I'm confused.

    Sherman Tank 120

    So you all remember the hitchhiker crab from Page 7 of this thread? I need him removed for sure now. Today, I found the remains of two of the anthias (one male, one female) inside his cavern. RIP, the first fish for this aquarium. I'm going to try a little harder to stab him now, as well as...

    True Power Compact full tank shots, PLEASE NO t-5 OR mh.

    Here's the last shot of my 38g before I replaced the PCs with MH. 4x96w. Here's the same tank, a year and half later, under 2x150w MH.

    Thank you, Alex. We just whipped right through February, so I guess I'd better get another FTS soon, huh?
