I decided to make a photo journal for my rbta. I was originally trying to do this in my build thread, but this is rather unique and difficult to keep together. My photo skills are very bad. Maybe improving a little.

Anyhow, It's been an interesting almost 4 months now. On October 14th, I will have kept it for 4 months.
So, a nice time frame of progress.

Let's start at July 14th.
Arrival.

I wasn't able to get many photos of the guy until I had to remove a large unwanted pest.
It was living in the rock the bta was hiding.
August 4th. Yes, this is a eunice worm.

After that is when things started to really change. August 4th and I'm exhausted The bta is on the original rock before I removed it to bust it up. The worm had to go.

With the lack of miner detail, I wanted to figure out how to get less blue and less blur. Time for September.

I took a lot of photos on the last week of September. Picked the ones with the least amount of blur.
A beautiful way to end the month!
