  1. AI Sol Hanging Kit

    I have finally been able to hang my Aqua Illumination lights (had to convince my wife that it would look nice and get my father in law over to help). I used the AI hanging kit. I lowered them about an inch after these pictures were taken to reduce light spilling over to the room. I am very happy with the end results. Now it is time for some fine tuning on the the colors and intensities.

    I may also put up something to run the wires back down and behind the tank. PVC painted black ...

  2. Want to Get Anemone

    I have been holding off on getting corals because I want an anemone to find a spot so it doesn't kill any coral. I have two clarkii clown fish and the female is probably 4-5 inches long. That means that I am going to need a big anemone, the only problem is I don't have money for a big one. I don't mind much on what kind of anemone I get as long as it is not brown and has a bright color. I was thinking about buying a small anemone and growing it out in my refugium.

  4. Good News, more Good news and Bad news.

    Good News: Since moving my saltwater tank home from the office where I used to work a week ago, I havn't seen any trace of my pistol shrimp/antenna goby pair. Tonight I noticed a mound of sand in front of a shrimp sized hole. So at least the shrimp is still alive.

    Good News: I applied for a job last wednesday, and interviewed for it on Friday. I have a follow up interview tomorrow! So There's a very promising chance I'll be employed again after only 4 weeks after being ...

  5. What does Six Line Wrasse taste like?

    I don't know, but based upon the response of my clean up crew, it must be fantastic. I've had this Six Line since early 2006, and during the livestock transfer, it injured itself darting out of a piece of live rock. For the past month, he's been swimming funny and was looking more and more tattered.

    I decided to let things play out naturally, and didn't have much hope of its recovery. When Matt Pedersen was here, he felt that it was old and probably near the end of its life. ...
