Aw crap Kelly. Sorry to hear about your move from hell. You have to take something positive from going through something like that. Like if you ever thought maybe I shouldnt have added that coral or that fish this is your opportunity to change things. Next time yous two head down this way let me know and I will snap a couple frags off for ya.

Been a long time since I posted on here, I guess. Just returned back from a very short trip to Calgary. Unexpected for us that we`d get to go, but a pleasant surprise nonetheless. Was very nice to see some familiar faces and meet some new people as well! We visited Red Coral and Golds and came back with goodies. I'm not great at taking pictures and my camera isn't very good, but hey I took some anyway just for canreef, lol.


Purple yuma

Blue clove (thanks MMAX!)

New "baby" cleaner shrimp

Pink mille mini colony

Only pic I could get with the new fish in it, a gorgeous powder brown tang! Look close and you can spot it on the left. He/she? is still hiding in the back for the most part or just too darn fast. Great color on it too.


Frag I made from the ribbon gorg

Couple of new sps frags on here from Slickfork (TY!)

Just a pic for fun

Anemone with the eggs in its bubbles....eggs are gone now, but it looks like it is regaining color (It had suffered a food poisoning incident due to some bad food from petsmart. We really thought it was going to be toast, but it may yet recover.)

Note to myself so I don't forget names of a few things in my tank (previosuly in sig):gbta, rics, frogspawn, gsp, zoos, caulastrea, digi, monti cap, birdsnest, acros, stylophora, pom-pom xenia, Pseudoterogorgia bipinnata, Pterogorgia citrina, yellow-polyp toadstool, pipe organ, gr. mushrooms, blue cloves, favia

Looking great! I'm hoping to be successful with SPS when my tank is ready but I still have a soft spot for...well...softies! Love the blue cloves. They'll look pretty sweet when they takeover a rock. Nice meeting you today and you deserve serious credit for coming this far after your disaster of a move =)

Great to meet you too

It could have been a lot worse and was certainly nothing like some of the losses I've seen posted on the board from other members. Considering the stress everything went through living in those rubbermaids for so long, I think we came out lucky. We lost mostly SPS, inverts and fish, but the rest lived. As with anyone who is passionate about this hobby though, even that hit us hard. No one likes to see an animal they've looked after die, especially from stupid things like equipment malfunctions. I'm beginning to wonder if that ugly brown digi is unkillable though, lol.

I was super excited to get the cloves as I have wanted those for 3 years Silly maybe, but I have a soft spot for blue.

Finally got a pic of the new powder brown! A. japonicus


He is still zipping around at the back of the tank, but comes out if he thinks I'm not around. Saw him eat some NLS today too, yay!
