Things are really looking up Doug Good to see you are starting to get your clams back in there. Whats your plan for the reno'd side in case I missed reading it somewhere ?

it just wouldnt be......right.....without a lovely clam......I was quite happy with the stock that was in the small tank before the crash.....Ive already replaced the blue assessor......Im thinkin maybe......replace the yasha hase goby....maybe get him a pistol shrimp buddy this time........Im not decided what if any other fish will get in there....I love little critters, so I have replaced two of the pom poms that I lost and the porcelain crab....will have to put some sexy shrimp in when we get them next....as for corals......probably just zoas and acans.....maybe the odd other thing or two......I dont know.......I will play it by ear

Definately get a yasha goby/pistol shrimp pair Also a cute clown goby would be cool

I like the idea of the yasha/pistol combo too.....I had a war paint clown goby in the small tank before the crash.....I liked him....very pretty fish, but kinda a do nothing kinda fish.....I think I need something with some more movement....


another fish made its way into the tank....the last of the tangs.....a small 2 1/2" powder brown.....he got "jumped in" pretty hard by the yellow and chevron and by the time I got the mirror up the PBTs fins were thrashed....the mirror worked and the pbt was able to settle in.....now the three of them hang together quite a bit and his fins are recovering nicely.....

some somewhat decent actinic shots

some random pics

blue polyp bird


this is the other clam that I welcomed home a while back....his color was faded as he thought Sean's tank looked better with him lying on his side....got some color back now




one of the lanar paly variations....this one has little gold specks throughout the center,,,


PPEs.........again........my track record with these things suck.....I've had them three times before this and Im 0 for 3....hopefully I can manage to keep them from melting on me this time


I missed my giant frogspawn that I had way back when in version 1....so I put an octospawn in the small tank

Lot can happen in two weeks in the hobby. I might have a new tank or no tank lol. Really like those zoas with the stardust look to them did you guys bring those in?

Looks good Doug! I was scrolling back through the pages and I can't find a FTS. Could you post one? I don't think I've seen a FTS on V2...?
