Thank you everybdy.
Frankie, I don't think I have ever spent less than an hour at a good LFS. This one is often 2 hours since I know the owners and we get starting chatting. Frank was not nearly as excited as I was since I of course was thinking about the money not the beauty. He just got the offer on his new job so I expect that to help a bit. I can't wait to post the pics. These are probably these are among the nicest I have ever bought. I was only brave enough because I am getting my LEDs next month and I know I will have a lot more lighting options.

Learned two important lessons today.
1. Female maroon clowns have teeth and are not afraid to use them.
2. When you have an aquascape as precariously balanced as I do, don't move anything.
Trying to slightly adjust one leather resulted in re-scaping half of the tank to avoid the entire thing collapsing. Still have a missing midas blenney. Hopefully just hiding but usually lives on the opposite side of the tank and we can't find it.

I don't remember who recommended it to me, but someone said wearing a shiny watch helps. They were RIGHT! My clown loves to attack, but won't when I "offer" her my watch instead of my flesh. Once she sees it, she stays back at least 5 or 6 inches while I mess with stuff. However, I recently learned that I should probably wear two watches - one on each hand.
HTH,
Dave

Hmm. Are you saying I should practice what I preach? What a novel idea. As always we were just trying to move one of the new corals. No big deal. It'll only take a few seconds. We all know how that works.
Got some awesome pricures but too tired to edit and post them now. I'll go through them tomorrow and post some of them.

Wow I have forgotten to update my thread lately. Bad Lynn.
Well this is just a warning of things to come. I will be sure to take before pictures but the tank is about to be completely changed. For once hubby had a great idea) ) I wish we could do it this weekend but it will have to wait two weeks.
I am very excited. Can you tell?
And this time it doesn't even involve spending a bunch of money. Just hard work.

I'm not gonna tell. It's going to be soo cool though.
We're going to finally take advantage of all the goodies we have been aquiring. We will finetune the plans over the next two weekends. Frank's son came to visit tonight and they are having a guys day tomorrow and next weekend the twins and a friend will be here so I have to wait until the following weekend.

You got the solaris LED on that tank right? Are you giving up on seahorses?

Different tank.
The 125 is where the Solaris is and the 90 was to be the seahorse tank. After over a year I have almost given up on the ponies and turned it into a kind of passive fish/softie reef. Still may change my mind but the bulespots are staying in the 90 for sure and the 125 is where the changes are going to be made this time.
