    oh how i love updates!

    since we last spoke i have since returned my bicolor blenny to the LFS due to the fact that i didnt have sufficient food source and i didnt want him to die! i replaced him with a beautiful, yet bashful Green Clown Goby. he is hard to photograph but very pretty!

    i know i shouldn't, but i keep moving my corals around until i had everyone in the right spot! right flow, right light, and not to close ( darn sweepers >.<)

    added a small bag of phosguard. recently recharged my purigen as well! i was worried about it at first but prime did nicely on removing the bleach smell and traces of chlorine.

    anyways!! on to the pictures!
    (btw working on posting a new youtube video so you can see it in "action")

    new ricordia! ( few dif angles so i could capture all its crazy colors!)

    Looks very nice. I bet you're proud.

    I had one question. How are you providing pods for the mandarin. Are you buying live ones or do you have a pod farm in a bucket setup?

    yea i set up a 2 1/2 gal tank for a pod farm. air stones, hella photoplankton, and a couple loufas. the has actually gained weight since i got him. he was in a 5 gal cube at LFS and was deathly skinny. i put fresh pods in every 1 1/2 weeks.
