Thanks Kien.... it was my pleasure.....your welcome anytime man......and thanks for taking the pics.....they are all fabulous (as usual)



not reef related but,was puttering around the yard the other day and took a couple pics......

Im not even sure what this first one is......might be a weed for all I know, but I thought it looked cool.......





and as I was taking pics of some of the flowers, I noticed some very obvious damage to alot of the leaves......the culprit?...........a baby bunny (mini-bun), about the size of a chinchilla.........cute little flower muncher

D-day(moving day) is a little over a month away and I'm really starting to worry about it......I've been giving some serious thought to temporarily re-homing some of my more sensitive critters and perhaps a coral or five that I simply cant loose.....the tank is sure to go through a cycle and I dont want to subject my clam collection to that.......problem is finding someone willing to babysit for a couple months who has a large, mature, clam friendly system with a similar feeding regiment and enough room for everything.......any volunteers?

Holy WOW Kien those are amazing photos! Doug if you need a hand moving drop me a PM, my giant 2000 ford explorer comes in handy for things like that.

Why doesn't Kevin look after your prize stock while the tank is readjusting?

Didn't you hear about that other livestock Doug left in Kevin's tanks? I don't think that's going to happen.

thanks for the offers guys!....

Im sure Kevin would watch them but.....the tanks at the shop have constant influxes of livestock making things a little too unstable for my liking....sometimes peeps dont realize the challenges LFSs face in their systems.......


so what do I do?..........take home a couple more crocea clams.......Im weak.....and dumb

one of the newbies was being really sensitive to the camera movement so I didnt get a good pic.......but heres the other one
