Thanks for the bumping bumpers! I'd be glad to meet someone an hour away or so!

I am very interested in the reef club and meeting other people in SWT. You have quite an interest in it that's for sure. I stress out just managing my 29gal. I've heard the bigger the easier but since I'm the one who does all the maintenance smaller is more managable. I sent you an email so...

My parents live on the west side, Taylor Ranch. So, you've been snow bound this past weekend. They sent some pictures of all the snow ABQ is getting. I'm sorry I'm missing it all and can't wait to go skiing! Driving to Las Cruces every other weekend, wow, that's quite a drive. You must love...

I hope we have a safe and smooth move too. No matter how much we talk it through it's going to be quite something that's for sure. We're moving just north of Belen and South of Los Lunas. We bought some land for the horses as ABQ is packed to the brim right now. Plus, hubby did not want to...

Catawaba-Thanks a bunch! We love NM and are very excited to be moving back home. We have lots of family there and are actually moving to a little town just south of ABQ. Selling the live stock and moving the tank is our plan B. Either way it will be okay. The tank is really my project and...

Sott!! How are you?! I've been looking for you on and off. Thanks for the comments on the tank. It really has come a long way and you are a huge part of that. Thanks for all your help. Hard to believe it's going to be two years since we've started. I'm actually due any day now with our...

I will be moving to New Mexico in Feb and decided to try and sell my whole tank. It's 29 gal with about 35 lbs lr, lots of ls, two false perc clowns, one engenere gobi, watchman gobi with pistol shrimp buddy, six line wrasse, beautiful green hammer that I have previously fragged and sold to the...

Melly, have fun jumping! I've never had lessons in dressage or jumping but I'd sure like to some day. I've had horses since i was very young and just learned on my own. I plan on taking lessons some time but right now I just trail ride and enjoy going to shows. I also enjoy watching the...

OMG, my horse gives me so much peace. When I'm out with him I forget about everything else, ie. husband, child, dogs, work, yes, even the fish. Only horse people know how wonderful the barn smell really is. In fact, picking up horse poop is my aroma therapy. I own a Tennessee Walker namec...

Wow! Six years, really?! :scared: Ah man. So I wonder what happened. I have two clown fish, one enginere gobi, one watchman gobi and pistol shrimp and one six line wrass. They've all lived together for at least a year or so. Never seen anyone bother the other. The pistol shrimp grabs any...

THanks you all but yes, I've seen many molts from him and I'm sure this is not a molt. In fact he just molted two days ago. Still I'm bummed. I haven't had a chance to do chemistries yet today but I'm not so concerned because all the fish and corals look great. The crabs are moving around...

It's okay. Thanks anyway. Maybe someone else can give me some info.

I mostly want to know life expectancy. I have a friendly tank and have had it for a year and a half. Nothing has ever bothered him before. I've had my cleaner shrimp for over a year and found him dead this am.

in good conditions? :thinking: Thanks, Ant.

Thanks everyone. What great info and I'm so pleased that it's a sign that my tank is doing well. I remember the beginning just a year ago. I haven't posted in a very long time but for any new people reading, this is a valuable web sight for starting the SWFT. All of these people have helped...
