Labor of Love. I hope. - Page 9

I think the rock is good, although I think more life would have survived if I had set up a tank faster. It was pretty sparse pickings in there for a while.

I did throw a shrimp in there every few weeks while curing and the last one produced almost no spike, so I think I have some pavlovian bacteria salivating for the bell.

However I recognize that a bacteria population stabilizes and may need some additional time as life comes in.

A shot of my aquascaping.

Now you know why I call it Skull Island.

PEMfish · 05-02-2008, 09:46 PM

I like it, but consider putting corals on there. Looks steep for that to work.

goldenmean · 05-02-2008, 09:47 PM

Very kewl!
I expect to see James Bond and ***** Galore to come running out of one of the caves.

RS has some good software and would let me us that kitty's name but you know who I meant.

Dentoid · 05-02-2008, 09:50 PM

Nice work John!

Jeff, see what happens when you use words like that.

fishnu · 05-02-2008, 09:51 PM

James Bondo and Epoxy Galore.

goldenmean · 05-04-2008, 12:19 AM

John it was really nice meeting yo this eve.
Thanks again for dinner and the Duncan Frag.

How is #3, err I mean Demonangel, liking his new home?

I want to see some pics of the other goodies you got today too.

fishnu · 05-04-2008, 01:01 AM

Jeff, I had a great time. Thanks to you and Alonzo for keeping #3 for so long.

My first corals are in, and Demonangel is busy constructing a home.

Very cool, watching him excavate. Moving rocks as big as his head, moving big mouthfuls of aragonite.

It is really nice seeing my Zoas and Hammer from 20 feet away under the lunarlights, lighting up the tank .

BarbMazz · 05-04-2008, 08:19 AM

Dear John, Jeff, and Alonzo,

It's not nice to talk about things that you have without sharing pictures, and what you had for dinner.

Sincerely,
Barb

Sorry Barb!

I will be trying to find a camera this week. I will post pics then. I picked up a hammer, a pink acan, some zoos, and a few others. I fond a Duncan with 2.5 heads (we'll see about number .5) for Jeff and he gave me #3 (Demonangel)and a...What is that, Jeff, a leather? ...from his biocube.

For dinner I had a Veggieburger, but was seduced by the accompanying French Fries.

Jeff and Alonzo were great hosts. Dharma the dog is a real character.

Dentoid · 05-04-2008, 03:25 PM

Sounds like fun! Looking forward to pictures!

Oh I was jk anyway! Sounds like a fun time.. I sure wish there were more reefers around Cleveland.

It sounds like you have some nice new things.. no hurry for the camera and pics!

:::::yeah, right!:::::

Veggie Burgers are pure evil. They are a damnable perversion of the Great American Lunch. Anyone who eats them is clearly a communist.

Varga · 05-04-2008, 03:32 PM

I had a veggiedog before......I can still taste the plastic
