Hey... just wanted to post some pics. Some of you very graciously donated some coral frags to get my tank back up and running after a very nasty crash while I was deployed. Well, along with your guys' help and santa comming early (Girlfriend couldnt stand me sitting watching a bare tank so she bought a couple new things) ...... the reef is back up and running. I want to take some time to personally thank everyone who donated and I will be sure, if any of you need anything... you know right where to come.
Here are some pics. I will post a special thank you to the ones that donated. I am still in the process of recieving one package which will be some new awesome additions. Thank you all again for the warm welcome back home and here are the pics of the tank now.

A flower pot that we took in. It was dying in the tank at the LFS but some clyopeze and some TLC and she is now 2x to 3x bigger. She is happy and eats daily. She is getting too big for the tank now. I will either have to move the rocks around or find a new home for her.

2 Kenya trees were donated. Both are doing well and growing by the day. I dont know the user name of who donated them, only thier e-mail address and his name is Rob. Well thank you again rob.

The single brown mushroom in the upper right hand corner is from a guy names Ron. Unfortunitly the post office delivered it a day late and in very damaged condition. I took what I thought was a dead mushroom, and put it in the "Emergency Room" tank and with some heavy light and some rest, and it made a full recovery. I am still shocked and amazed it made. It was nothing but goo and slime and smelled like a public bathroom in Tijuana. However, it wanted to live and its huge now! Thanks again Ron.

and here are the rest of the new inhabitants.



Thank you all again soo very much and I hope if any of you have the misfortune of a tank crash.... that I can return the favor.

No its a MC-130P Combat Shadow. The Shadow is more of a silent partner in the whole special ops arena. Basicly, I take people who dont exhist into places in the world where we arent suposed to be and do stuff that were not supposed to do, and come back and forget we did any of it.
As for the tank.... I am thankfull to be back and able to rebuild a tank. Thanks to everyone for their support.

Nice tank ! I'm abit embarrassed because I don't even have a SW tank yet (in the learning stages now). Otherwise, I would have gladly donated something for you. Maybe once I get my tank up and running and should you need help again and I will do so.
