Good Morning!

I have decided to buy a couple new corals today. Will post some pics when I get them situated.
I wish I could buy some corals today, but my little tank is full. A few days ago the LFS had put this in the $30 section by accident and the Mgr. said that he would give it to me for that price if I wanted it. There is no where to put it though! ( These frags are on larger plugs for size reference)

I keep forgetting to ask...how do you like those cell phone lenses you bought a while back?
I’m happy with them. They do a pretty good job for the price. Im sure there are better ones but they do help a lot, especially under the blues.

I just ordered them. Do you have to hold the macro lens really close up to take the picture? It didn't say. I looked at another lens set and it said no more than 1" away.

I haven’t really played with the macro all that much. I just hold it close enough to the glass so I can see what my tired old peepers can see, LOL!
 
Had two client consultations today. The second one waited until I was standing in her doorway to tell me she forgot to cancel. Instead of being frustrated by her inconsideration, I remembered that boardroom aquariums was only ten minutes away.
I stopped in thinking I'd get a friend for Leo in the nano. (Still can't catch Mr Wiggles the tyrant in the big tank.) I left about 15 minutes later with a very small but overpriced longnosed hawk fish. I named him "Moe"...
I noticed that he's challenged to catch flake because he can't swim far. Any recommendations for feeding a Hawk fish? He just kind of hops from one perch to the next. Can't wait to get the flame hawk for the big tank!!
Off to Dreamland.. PT in the AM.
Good night, Reefies!!!
 
Good morning. Today we travel to North Carolina to see Paige, Morgan(Cody) and Grant. Grant had an accident on the playground and fractured 2 vertebrae. The hazards of being a teacher.

Batch number 2 was cut 1 day short. As I have a couple of gallons now I only put up 2 new bottles.

who's mr. wiggles?

Mr Wiggles is the snow storm clown that immediately attacked my Da Vinci clown (Leo) and proceeded to stalk him for days.
Totally did not see it coming. When I added everybody to the new tank, I expected everyone to be on neutral ground. Wiggles had never shown any signs of aggression to any other fish prior. As soon as he hit the big tank... He turned into a little terrorist.
He is fast and small but prefers the back end of the tank. That makes it darn near impossible to get him. I was able to rescue Leo because he was just exhausted and pretty badly finipped.
I have an order of anthia's, a hawk and a gramma coming in August. I really hope he does not start a war.
I am not sure if Leo will ever go back into general population. That fish was just terrorized. If it's possible for a fish to have panic attacks... He would qualify. The poor little guy is even afraid of Moe. Lol
 
Good morning everyone! Stay cool, stay safe.

if you want it out, start feeding at the front of the tank, near the surface, with a turkey baster.
the fish will come to know food is coming from it.
20+ fish in my tank and only 3 i couldn't net on the first try.
 
Good morning. Happy Friday!! Got another doggie client coming this morning.

Hope Grant will be ok and heals quickly. Sending my prayers.

Your phyto has a nice dark green color to it. I need to get some and start my culture up again along with some pods.

I actually have tried that. My Saddleback will not nibble on the baster, which is pretty cool. Wiggles hangs back and waits for food to sink into the rockwork, then goes scavenging. I may break down and try one of those bubble things. The LFS said they would give me a credit on him if I can catch him.
@dbowman5 - I love your house. The window boxes ... just love it.
 
Good morning! I tried to go for a walk about 30 minutes ago. BIG MISTAKE. Does sweating bullets count for extra steps? I sure hope so. Walk was cut short. I'll try again....next month.

I hope you all have a great Friday and stay cool! I'll stay inside and do something really fun....like laundry. :D:rolleyes:
