Nova the PBT looks good.....I've had mine in QT since the end of April.....Actually mine is very intrigued when someone approaches the tank, and heaven forbid you grab the food can......The piggy will pick it right from your hand now......QT and take your time.....
Question: how big is your QT? Mine is a 20g long, and I worry that this isn't going to be a big enough space for him for more than 2-3 months. What do you think?
Oh, and yes....she is a little piggy. She loves her flakes, and I don't think there's a single Caulerpa blade that doesn't have a bite mark or two in it. She's starting to recognize me as the great food provider, but she still darts for cover more often than not.

Good job Rick!!!!
Quick question Rick, did I give you any acros?
I just found red bugs in my tank. I'm sure that it's something from what I got from this week but I want to make sure that I didn't give you any.
If you don't have any acros, it will die off on it's own in five days but I want to make sure. I'm treating my tank starting tonight or tomorrow night and if you have acro frags let me know. I will give you some interceptor when you head down to my place on Tuesday.
Nope, you didn't give me any acros, so if there were any red bugs on the coral I'm sure they'll die out soon enough. So don't worry, I'm immune to crabs.

Got a steal today. McCosker's Flasher wrasse, $20.00! Also got a midas blenny for $30. Those two are sharing the 12g QT tank, which means if the leopard becomes available, I'll need to get some sand for the 10g tank before I introduce him.

I will. Fish is hiding, and I'm doing a deep clean on the seahorse filter. The overflow hasn't been very efficient in surface skimming. I'm going to post in tips and techniques to see what kind of advice I can get.

Richard, I called around. Barrier only had this one specimen. Exotic Aquatic had one this morning who was bigger but whose fins looked just a little nipped (he's in a long but narrow tank with a mess of anthias, so I'm sure there were some issues there), and AllFish Emporium had 4 nice looking ones as of Saturday morning, but they were $40....and of course I wouldn't trust anything from AllFish without a full 30 day minimum stay in a QT tank....those guys have terrible fishkeeping practices.
I'm happy to say that both the blenny and the wrasse had some shrimp and chips tonight. Must be British fish.
Thank you, I'll be here all week!!

I've been thinking of some furniture possibilities. Right now my aquarium nook looks like this (without my chair):
Which is OK, but you know that means there's only room for one person to enjoy the tank. Two if someone steals my ottoman. I was thinking of doing a bench instead of the bookcase, and I *did* find one on Amazon that I really liked. But it's pricey, and it's sort of narrow.
Which would look cool. But I wonder if this is something I should build instead. I'm a little lukewarm on the color of the pre-built unit. I feel like this area needs a splash of color....some blue to match the back of the tank seemed appropriate. So I was thinking....
I know that photo is atrocious. It's not really obvious, but I was using it to check cushion color. The piece I was thinking of would be very freeform. Something that would be a full L shape, but curvilinear rather than straight lines. Something that could be used on it's own to seat a few people....but leave enough room to put a chair for more people if I wanted to.
The overhead view looks something like this:
Am I nuts? Or should I just stick with the plain bench that I can use as storage as well? That would be a big project for me, and I already have my plate full of big projects....

Sounds like a really good idea man. looking forward to the build or buy. I like the design you came up with. Stuck on blue, huh?

My QT tank has officially reached hypo levels. Which is great, since I had an ich outbreak last night apparently. She ought to start feeling better in a day or so...
