I took an awesome pic last night. I used my moms Olypus Camera, so it's really clear, kinda like HD, and it's a shot of her looking at the camera. It's so cool, I'll find out how to load pics from her camera and show you.

Found the peppermint shrimp!
Submitted by Flcracker94 on Thu, 2007-10-25 20:17.Found the peppermint shrimp! I was moving my frogpawn and I saw him upside down rocking back and forth. I love how they move, but they hide too much...
My frogspawn doesn't look so good. I did a coral dip with Lugol's Solution, and the Gonipora seems fine, the Spawn is just like melting...I'm so sick of this happening, I don't know what I did wrong. I did EXACTLY what it said on the bottle for dipping.
I'll get some updated pics of my tank soon, I need them for a science prohect anyway.

Submitted by Flcracker94 on Mon, 2007-11-05 17:44.Green mouth and tentacles, orangish red base.
It seems to favor the area around the overflow, which I'm happy with, because that's were my clown likes to be! Hopefully she'll notice the anemone and host it.

Got an update since I havent
Submitted by Flcracker94 on Wed, 2008-01-02 15:22.Got an update since I havent been on for a while. I've gotten a couple new things, but I've also been just trying to let the tank run for a while and make completely sure everything is fine.
I've gotten a Hawkfish, starpolyps, and a plate coral; and my old Science teacher gave me a trumpet coral frag. The best news I've gotten so far was on Sat when I got the water tested, everything was good.
I gotta get some turbos, those are good snails IMO, and I might get a serpant star eventualy. I'm done with fish, I think I've maxed that out.
I changed my lighting a bit, instead of 2 white and 2 blue, I have 3 blue and 1 white, looks more like the type of lighing I like.
Any suggestions on livestock that would be good to get; easy to take care of, looks good, ect.?
