LOL. My theory is that the shrimp was expanding their "den" by preparing tunnels under adjacent LR. When he was done with his scouting (or "integrity check") mission, he returned home to the roost. In the end, there wasn't one piece of LR that he didn't tunnel underneath. I was afraid I was going to crush him should I shift things around.

In the new 55g, my pieces of LR are of considerable size, with their bases resting squarely on the bottom. I doubted that he would be able to create a tunnel network as handily. I was wrong...quite a hard working shrimp!

Bobby2 is an unknown quantity at this point
Its been awhile since I have updated everyone on my 20 so here goes.

I decided to move my tank across the room, set it on a stand so I could access my sump easier. ok well I decided to do this after kicking back a few cold ones. (not a good idea) the move took a little longer than I expected but all is well. The after math claimed the life of my only acro so not much to complain about. It gets worse.

Good news is that I modded my skimmer and it is kickin some major bootay.




now thats rockin....

my idea is to overskim and grow macros so every time I feed that nutrients is being removed from the system in a positive way.

I have also added another maxi900 and a wave maker so I can watch the macros sway in the current. (why don't I have a video camera?)

bad news

after the addition of the wave maker I have not seen my Yasha or my shrimp
I miss them so much!

Aaron asked me to save his pink birds because it was receding from the base so I fragged it and it looks nice. It has completely stopped receding. he gets a peice back after he moves in may.

my corals are doing well but i believe my macros are getting bleached from either the 5k light or because I have the halide on all day long. The reef optic reflector really amplifies the bulb more than I would have believed before I decided to use it. Time to go back to a 5 1/2 hr light cycle. my calcium level has also been running a little lean in which I cant wait until I boost it back up there. The growth tips should look a little bit nicer.

I asked them if they wanted to go and they said they can't stand the winters up there.

sorry Dave.
