Just checked my parameters:
PH-8.1
Nitrite-0
Nitrate-0
Alkalinity-5.0meq/L
Free Ammonia-0
Total Ammonia-.15
Specific Gravity-1.027 (after testing topped off 1/2 gallon of distilled)
Temperature-80.3
Looks to be pretty stable, and I am sure in a few days my total ammonia will be zero

Yellowtail Blue damsel prettyyyyy fish indeed. But it is an Agressive fish. I had one in my aquapod when i first got it and as soon as i added other fish i just knew i had to get it removed and yes it took me forever to get it out and i got so stressed out messing with the lil guy. Well im happy to see you have a fish now and you can finally watch some action in the tank :) Glad your cat likes it too.

OK, so I am pretty pumped. I have 2 frags on the way from rebel and I just talked to a fella that has 3 huge reef tanks!
He said to come over sometime this week and I can get some corals and possibly more rock from him
Can't wait, he mentioned pulsating xenia, frogspawn, torch, and a few others. I will keep this updated if anything happens
Woo hoo, this is fun

Yeah... fraggin up is fun... and expensive! haha.... but better a hobby than a drug habbit I guess.
Watch the Xenia... if it likes your tank you can end up with a tank full of it.
My last tank exploded with Xenia... went from 3 big stalks to about 50... and they spread accross EVERYTHING!

Thanks kclester and AJ107 for the comments.
Well here are some new pics of the frags, I am in love with the pink zuit suits
That's right I said it, I love em
Who says I can't commit





A pic of my unknown polyps that were a hitchhiker but are spreading quite nicely.

Thanks for looking.

So as if today wasn't already a pretty good day, me and the gf decided to go to the fish store
She is great, really; anywho we bought a six-line wrasse baby. I couldn't resist he was on my list for fish to get, albeit I did want to add him last. He is really colorful and has been all over the tank. Currently having the yellowtail blue damsel has only started a little controversy within the tank
The six-line seems to be the boss for the time being anyhow.
Check out some pics...

Yeah, I hope so too, we shall see I guess. I have seen gsp, and for some reason this just looks browner or duller(sp?) in color than gsp.

Ok cool I didn't know that, thanks. I just thought they were almost like a mutant of them or something
I don't know, I do like them though. They look pretty cool flowing in the current.
