Thanks everybody.
Not sure which one you like Scott but the top one is the Crocea I brought back from MACNA last year. It survived a trip home in checked luggage and is very happy now. The other is my tiny maxima. He was less than an inch when we bought him and now he is up to an inch and a half. There is another crocea we didn't take a pic of this weekend. I think I may have pic fun this weekend so there will possibly be a big update coming.

My bad, I was talking about the first one, but the other one is a looker too!

lcstorc · 02-12-2008, 11:51 AM

I fell in love with that one at MACNA as well. It is just plain pretty.
The Maxima is great but I am more happy that I have been able to keep it alive and growing. When I bought it I didn't know how difficult it is to raise them when they are small. Somehow I am doing something right because all 3 are very happy in my tank.

You checked your clam through bagcheck?

That is too funny. "Do you have anything to declare maam?" lol

lcstorc · 02-13-2008, 10:55 AM

My husband made me do it. Actually it was the clam and several corals. They were all very carefully packed but yes they were in checked luggage. My husband insisted that this was no worse then what UPS or Fedex would do and in fact the transit time would be shorter. I am just glad they did not lose our luggage. I would have completely lost it if that happened.

lcstorc · 03-03-2008, 06:41 PM

Well I finally made my first snowman. Pretty pitiful but I was by myself and it was cooooold.
Saw 2 deer as well but didn't have the camera then.

I think I've just been replaced by a snowman.

lcstorc · 03-03-2008, 06:47 PM

You need to update your sig honey. The tanks have changed considerably.

Stacef · 03-03-2008, 06:49 PM

Aww!! I love your snowman. Very good for doing it all by yourself. Yesterday, my nieces and nephews and I had a snowball fight, it was PERFECT for packing!! Of course like always, it all started with starting to build a snowman,

Frans · 03-03-2008, 06:49 PM

Shoooo, Boozeman might catch me posting.

tbittner · 03-03-2008, 07:25 PM

Great looking snowman, Lynn. I don't suppose you could put together a DIY thread on it....

Where were you when you made that? Up in NY?

lcstorc · 03-03-2008, 07:29 PM

Upstate NY. I think it is called Liberty. All I know is that it is where Woodstock was. I'm working with the ampitheater and the museum there.

boozeman · 03-03-2008, 07:41 PM

awesome...you finally got to make your snowman

'till when will you be upstate Lynn?

lcstorc · 03-03-2008, 07:45 PM

I fly home Friday evening.
Had a beautiful drive up here this afternoon. Flew into Newark and it was a beautiful day.
As long as I don't have to drive on ice I'll be happy.

Glad you had fun in the snow Lynn!

Of course like always, it all started with starting to build a snowman, __________________ Stace Worried about the costs to run a Saltwater tank? Here are some tips on cutting back to keep your bills in the same range as before. Put a timer in the bathroom, the family is now only aloud to take 5 minute showers, baths are out of the question. Tv time is cut to 1 hour a night, we have to make up for all of the lights/pumps/heaters/chillers/etc. running No more lights, duct tape all light switches in the off position. If someone needs light, they can sit by the tank. Sorry bunny, I sacrificed you to help others save money!
