OK, My SPS corals seem to be suffering some, and other things have had me lacking on PC's of late. Did a biggie yesterday finally...... My old Typhoon skimmer has just about outlived its days..... I have the 72 with a big basement Sump-Fuge holding around an additional 50 gallons or so...

A year or two ago I started seeing these guys show up..... I ask at that time what they are but since have forgotten the name. Well one of them was growing, very slowly I may add in a spot I could pull it out and move it forward to photograph . It was growing with the stalk vertical but this...

The title says why I posted this shot...... Sometimes us picture takers take lots of shots and like none of them........ This one was a one shot deal... ( seldom take a shot of this guy).. Not a perfect shot , but after looking at it for a few days as my wallpaper I still like the shot...

Although I have been doing well with most every thing for a good long while now. I find myself eliminating the Leathers (down to 3) and moving more towards the SPS stuff. I have had some orange Montis long enough to have them become too big, but I realize they are the easiest one to keep. My...

I picked up this guy the other day in one of his weekly specials at a nearby nice coral shop. He was free when I spent too much on something else. OK I am pretty sure it is an Acropora something . but is there a better name for him? And yes that is a field full of very unhappy GSP's behind it...

Some of you around for a while will remember shots of Benny over time. A new shot of Benny just posing on his perch. Thought you all might like this shot of the little camera hound too!

Ok The mods will yell at me for this but it is just too neat and too much fun..... Sorry Mods......... Plus they want to save our oceans too........... The fish follows your mouse, but there's more. This is amazing, if you click on the extreme right hand column you can change the scene of the...

My large two year old Orange Monti seems to be bleaching some. All normally tested prams, trates, calcium ,PH, temp levels, alk. , phosphates,and magnesium, are as usual except trates being a bit higher than normal, about 15 right now. (I gave away a large amount of my Chaeto this week to a...

OK I am finally replacing my Olympus C-4000 4 meg camera after years of really good service with no complaints. But it just can not do what I am seeing in shots today............ So while camera shopping for a new Nikon D-60 or 90 I ended up buying the Cannon XSI 12 meg and a couple of...

I got this little frag the other day with some mixed Zoas. Are the Orange ones Eagle Eyes?????? For 15 bucks I could not pass it up.....There are a couple of those unwanted big real plain ones on the edges that need to go before they spread too much too....

Just liked this close look at the "inner workings"........The old 4 meg Olyphus can still take a pretty good shot.......

Just like this one, thought I would share it..... Sometimes they look so different up real close........Now if the wife will just let me get a 10 meg camera I really could do close-ups.......

Of late I have been playing with the idea of simulating a tidal flow in a tank. Basically for now what I have been doing is trying K-3's on timers at the opposite ends facing forwards and up with a short slack time period in-between start up of each PH. I may change to 4's and move the 3's to...

If the wife does not do me in, I soon I am off to upgrade from this 4 meg dinosaur I have been using for years. But for only 4 megs it has need a good old camera..............Hopefully these are a few of its last shots!! Hope you all enjoy them....... Warren

I moved a piece of Zoas off of this rock today to put a low light frag there in the back of the tank. . When I removed the Zoas here out of a crevice pops up this little very bright green guy-thing????????? Soft body with little dimples on its sides.... It was growing under the little rock that...

Maybe a second to read all this babble for anyone new just starting out. If I could bo this you can too. It just takes work and time, maybe a little money too. For an old guy that saw a small Reef set up in the hospital many years ago recovering from a massive stroke, when I could barely see...

I have been noticing this retraction of the head in this guy in the evenings of late..... Mouths open but no tentacle extension. Well after lights out he still extends well for feeding.... Maybe I just had not been seeing it before and I am thinking that issue that may not really a problem...

Well while taking shots the other day, here is one of the ones I took..... Nothing special, just a close up of a hungry 'roon...... but after putting it on my desk top for a few days I liked it a bit more.... Just to share after looking at it for a while......... Warren.......

Being that when my wife says " Oh that is a pretty one"........ I long ago learned that if she said that........ I most of the time took that Coral home for her. There are exceptions No you can't have a Spiny Oyster, no you can't have another Elegance and so one...... Well her most recent...

I have the Nova Ex. Pro 6 bulb T-5 on my 72 bow..... It is getting close to the time to change out the bulbs..... I am doing it two at a time... First I would like to replace two of there very white looking 10 k's with a couple with a bit higher K rating. I remember a while back seeing...
