Kinda funny...I had one tiny little patch of zoos...didn't open much at all...after adding Luke's frags they popped right open as if to say "hello neighbor"!!
I am sorry to report I can't find you xenias any where
Not sure what happened

The dwarf seahorse babies are growing rapidly! For the past 2 days it took some serious searching to locate them all, but today!!! WOW...they've really started to fill out. Before they looked like tiny little strings..now you can see patterns and they're more colorful. Dad looked like he was feeling better too.
Any more pics of the happy couple?
Nope. No new pics just yet. I was going to do my water change tonight after work, but family things prevented (good ones)...we had the kids and Jonah over for supper, and I needed to stop up at school to check out Beth's skimmer which she didn't think was working. Sheesh...it's working better than my POJ skimmer...'nuff said.
I had to replace one of my Whisper 40 filters on my horse tank as well (gave up the ghost), and I did manage to get the equipment cleaned up, water top off, and of course, horses fed. Busy night.
Maybe I can get some pics tomorrow after I do their water change again.

How are things going ? Find any of the missing fish? I know how frustrating that can be.
What are your horses up to these days? How's the happy couple doing? After figuring out the set up for the brine shrimp hatchery~ it's a breeze
Luke said to keep that part hush hush, other wise tons of people will be running to their salt store and buying dwarf seahorses. The down side to it, is you have to do it every day. Most people to not have the time or patiences to dedicated that extra time for their fish, unless they happen to be fish nuts like us
So if/when you have baby seahorses it'll be a walk in the park.

i did not say to keep it hush hush
, i said to not go tell the average person its a simple task to start out with...lol, it can be very easy to do the hatching, its the dedication plus making sure the tank is tip top shape...hatching is easy after you get it down...but not usually recommended for a beginner unless at least experienced in saltwater.

Hi Ryk,
I've found nothing of Sr. Mary. I have water set up for a change in the reef, probably tomorrow, time permitting. IDK...
My horses on the other hand are doing very well. Both hunt and eat very good...I learn something new about them everyday...or maybe it's just that their days are always done differently, IDK. The cyano in their tank is definitely doing a turn around...I expect that within a month or two it should be entirely gone...here's hoping. Bristleworms are showing up at feeding time like crazy and I want to get a handle on that. Other than that, no babies yet that I know of...you'll be one of the first to know.

I was finally able to connect today with that friend of a friend who is breaking down a 37 tall tank. He said that he has about 30-40# of LR that he's selling. I made arrangements to go to see what he has next Wednesday (Aug. 8).
I know that I want to inquire on the tank's history...medications added, diseases if any...and how recent.
Is there anything else that I should ask about? How do I confirm his answers? My friend that directed me here is a very trusted friend, and she manages the LFS that I frequent...plus she grooms my dog. I just don't want to add anything wierd into my tanks. Suggestions very welcome.

Mmmm, yeah, with all the drama of the crisis going on in my seahorse tank this past week, I completely overlooked the fact that I had made an appointment with the LR guy. I'll call him tomorrow and see if he's willing to reschedule...we'll see. It would be really nice to get this to work out.
Beth and I are going to Madison tomorrow shopping. Last stop, a very nice LFS. Hoping to find some nice treasures for my reef. I'll be shopping for corals

I found a really sweet little millepora (sp?) at the LFS in Madison and 3 great little emeralds. Pictures of the new coral after lights are on tomorrow. I almost...ALMOST came away with a new coral beauty angel (a surrender). She was just beautiful!! I'm heading down there again next weekend...if she's still there and looking healthy, she's mine.
