Hello, boys and girls! Can't believe that I had forgotten about my old stomping grounds. Bought a new 75gal and stand, today, after getting the saltwater bug again and you guys popped into my head. How has everyone been???

Why was it closed?...and more importantly, why is every bit of info in the description completely, 100% incorrect??!?!

I've been searching for an Orange Shoulder Tang (one of my fav. fish) for quite a long time and have never been able to find out, except for online. I stopped into one of the crappy, local fish stores today and what do I find?...a little 3" juvie Orange Shoulder...for $21!!! He had a few spots...

Been working on my macro skills, lately and found these little guys at work. Here are just some other, random shots, using macro. 1/4" long, white fuzzy mushrooms Very small, juvenile Wolf Spider (maybe 3/4" - 1" across) My little Moth buddy (no idea what species) Hope you guys like. :D

I was redoing another sump today and while the silicone dried, I figured I might as well do something productive. So, I pulled the 'ole 200gal. out and drilled more holes for the returns and for the proposed closed loop. I just thought I'd give a little photo tutorial, showing how I always drill...

The fish stores, here in Soutern IL, are cracking me up. I was bored, today, on my day off so I went searching for other fish stores. Found this guy...a 3" Sea Robin...at a store aprox. 30 - 45 minutes away. They had 2 of them, labeled "Misc. Hawkfish". I paid $6.

Found these guys, today. I've never heard of Diamond Gobys pairing up with Pistol Shrimp, but these guys certainly were. And...the Goby was eating frozen. I couldnt resist...it's the first of both that I've ever had. The Goby is maybe 1" long and the shrimp is 1/2". Within 2 minutes, in the...

I've grown tired of my 90gal, non drilled tank. Tomorrow, the Hawaiian Dragon and Whitemouth get relocated for temp holding. Then, the tank comes down, to be drilled. The rock will be taken out and scrubbed down (After years in this hobby, I've had my first hair algea outbreak). A new, 40gal...

Some new, random shots, from tonight. I caught her sleeping, so the coloration of the DME is darker than usual...she's a grumpy girl, when she wakes up. My Whitemouth...

I've been down in FL, for the past week, visiting Amanda and we've been checking out all the local fish stores. We didnt find anything too great but found this guy today at a small store that didnt keep very healthy live stock. He was in a 200 - 300gal. coral holding tank that also held a Green...

AmandaL and I hit up a local tide pool area, today and started collecting Nassarius Snails. We stopped putting them in the bucket, when we couldnt see any part of the bucket (5 gal. bucket for salt mix). We estimated that we collected at least 300, plus a few large snails, a few med - large...

I'm trying to help a friend sell this. 150gal. 5 x 2 x 2, predrilled w/ bulkheads Stand/Canopy Icecap 660 VHO Dual 250W Metal Halides with reflectors and elec. ballasts Iwaki 40RLT (which I believe does about 1000gph) Two 30lb unopened bags of CaribSea Aragonite sand $750 for just the tank...

I fed salmon, last night, to the DME and Whitemouth. When I do that, I have to turn off my skimmer, for the night. I woke up, this morning, to find the Sailfin laying underneath a rock, breathing really rapidly. The tank is extremely cloudy, for whatever reason and the Tang doesnt look like...

I get this every few months or so...just a little show of "I'm bigger than you are!.....No, I'm bigger than you! Nu uh! Yes huh!" It lasts for a few minutes, before the Whitemouth gets smart and realizes that he ALWAYS loses. That's usually the way it goes though, right...us guys are always...

Well, I've been planning on buying some 300gal. and 150gal. Rubbermaid stock tanks, to plumb together, for my sump system. I found these, at the warehouse of the food pantry my dad runs, from their church. They use them to hold canned goods and I have access to 8 - 10 of them. They're 41.5"W x...

Had to follow the tradition, that others have started and post a "6 pack" thread. Got bored and shot some misc. pics of the children and thought I'd throw 'em out here.

I've had Cleaner Shrimp before, but in a tank with a 15" Volitan Lion and a 5" Queen Trigger, needless to say...they never lasted very long. I got another, today and it seems that my Whitemouth loves it.

Thanks to RWrestler, a new member here, I've become the proud new papa of my second baby Octopus. I'm not sure what kind he is, as he's still too shy to come out, but I believe it's a Bimac. Sorry for the blurry pics...I'm usually very demanding of my picture taking skills, but these came out a...

Well, my old Red Starry Hermit, Goliath, died a while ago...he was huge. I stopped back into the store, where I got him, on Sat and they had a few more...only place in the city where I know to find them. They were going for $10, each...cheap, IMO, so I picked up 2 new ones. I finally got around...

I'm still fairly new here, so I'm not sure if this has been discussed in the past of not. Forgive me, if it has. I was curious as to why we have no "private messaging" system (PMs). Not really a big deal...I was just curious. This is the only board, that I can think of, that doesnt have a PM system.
