Here is an almost full shot of my tank.
I'm missing the left foot or so where the clowns
are laying eggs in the frogspawn.
For refrence the tank is a 230G
6ft long, 2ft wide, 2.5ft high.

Here is my lovely pink birds nest with it's funky
growth pattern. You can see some of the 4 color
monti digitata forest in the background.

Lastly a cool shot of my yellow tipped acro.
This piece is the size of a softball and I absolutley
adore the growth pattern on this coral.
It was started from a few 1/2" frags about 2 years ago.

Which songs do they prefer? :razz:

The tank is looking sweet! Can't wait to see it in person.
(Maybe it will help convince the wife that I need a bigger tank... :mrgreen: )

I play anything with strings at this point. When my daughter is sleeping it's acoustic. When she is awake and I have time it's electric.

Thanks Alan! :biggrin:

Yesterday the carpet was looking exceptionally HUGE! :eek:

Don't get too close! That thing has eaten fish almost as big as you. What's the death toll at now, Jon?

Canadian Man

I'll try to get a pic soon.

Um death toll is in the area of 11 fish. I'm guessing that the fish have been eaten but it's pretty obvious when the carpet gets a meal, it looks FULL and large.

How big around is the carpet now?

If it would have ate the idol i would have flushed it.

mr_alberta

If it would have ate the idol i would have flushed it.

I think an anenome that size would be at least a 2 flusher... :mrgreen:

Unfortunately S. haddoni carpets are known to be voracious feeders. Very sticky.

I went through a lot of trouble to import that anemone at a time when nice coloured anemones were very hard to acquire. So I, for one, am glad that he's not flushed. :exclaim:

Keeping anemones can be a love/hate relationship... I know after my incident with the ritteri a few months ago I questioned what it was that I was doing... I think they (anemones in general) definitely need to be a measured choice.

Well put reply Tony!

I know you were probably kidding Ryan.
BUT.

It's ridiculous to punish or kill an animal for preforming it's natural instincts.

I don't punish my bird for flying around the house or kill my dogs for barking when the door rings.
And I don't flush my anemone for feeding itself.
This anemone has been around for a long time and it will continue to be around no matter how many fish it eats.

These days the proper term is "a Courtesy Flush" when toilet loading is expected to exceed the plumbing limits.

Sucks about the lost fish but sometimes crap happens. Seems likes a more natural way to go then other things I've seen happen in the hobby.
