Ok here are some pics I took with my new camera lenses that Secret Santa sent me! I do not pretend to be a photographer.

Great pictures, your tank is looking great.

”The Kraken” at almost 2 months. Sorry for the intense reflection, tough to get a good pic.

Reflections are all part of the fun.
Funny poses are the best, lol

The new guy! Everyone, meet Gary.

Placed the clowns in the Reefer today. Their names are Daisy Duke and Boss Hog. Now if only they would find the anemone!

Unusual naming. Somehow I didn't see Daisy and Boss Hogg a couple ;)

Lol well of course they weren’t a couple in the show, but I couldn’t resist! I‘m really dating myself here. :oops:

I have a couple of Australian Magpies I feed. I named them Ralph and Alice. ;)

I love that! I call my 3 blue-green Chromis The Bee Gees.

Hey guys! Can someone enlighten me as to what is happening with my Octo? Dying? Trying to split? It appears the base is starting to grow up around the head. I took a pic from both sides. Thank you!

Gary has settled in nicely. I gave him a clam today and not only did he eat clam, he ate 2 snails that were trying to get to the clam. He’s very rude that way. He now has a gut. It’s a beer belly. On a puffer.

Some current pics. Carl the Goby Always looks like he’s about to spit water. Cracks me up! Think I’m finally moving out of the brown uglies.

My BTA named Cupcake finally has bubble tips. He has grown huge and seems happy. Daisy Duke (female clown) has finally let Boss Hog into the anemone and now the two of them terrorize The Bee Gees (chromis) if they come close. Still battling some green algae but overall things are good. Ollie has realized there are fish in there.

Looks great, nice and plump

I’ve been away from the forums for a bit but the tank is still kicking. Some updated pictures:

This is a really crappy post to write. My husband (bless his heart) replaced my gate valve with a brass one. Within 12 hours all of my coral and inverts were dead. After the loss of her anemone, my female clown bullied the smaller clown to death. I still have a few fish left and the valve has been replaced with PVC but the damage is done. I‘m devastated. I’ve performed 2 water changes but I don’t really know what to do at this point.

Sooooo sorry

Wow. So sorry to hear.
I can't imagine how you feel.
