Just like all moms - I feel the need to show off some of my kids! Please excuse my picture-taking-skills, I am still a rookie!
This is Dizzy and Majesty - two of my favorites.
This is Dori (original I know!)
This is PeeWee - my daughters favorite
This is "patches" we adopted him last night. He had a pop-eye that exploded
and of course the tank! I have way too many to put pics up of all of them but these are some of my favorites. Wow- these pictures are bad! |

WoW! What a hot tank! I love the powder blue. They have been
my favorite for years. Glad you're back! |

I think your pictures are good! The fish aren't all blurred. You have great taste in fish.  Love your names, too.------------- Renee and Damon Weimer Tankless in Hawaii |

How long have you had your angel? Does he behave around your corals? Is there any sps corals in your tank? ------------- Kevin Kunz (Sandy, UT) 300g reef "A trade by which one gains and the other loses is a fraud." Ayn Rand |

Renee - Thank you - my daughter names most of them - except for my dizzy blonde! I tried to figure out how many fish we have but I stopped counting. I have way too many but they are all happy and doing good. Knock on wood.... Kevin - I have had the angel for about 8 or 9 months. The only problem I have ever had is with mushrooms. I had a rock with tons of red mushrooms on it and he plucks them off. He doesnt eat them he just pulls them off and spits them out. A lot of them have re-attached to other rocks and he leaves them alone. I do have sps but he leaves them alone. Luck of the draw I guess. |

PeeWee is hanging out in some gorgeous Red Grape Algae  ...that hasn't been eaten!
That tank is a whole lot different from the one I saw when I visited you a year ago. I like it. ------------- Reefkeeping Tips, & quick, easy setup tricks: www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9244 Pay it forward - become a paid WMAS member

| Mark - The red grape is pretty safe - it is in the little tank. It is being sacrificed to the injured Powder Blue but still looks pretty good. The only things I have changed since you have been here is I added a powerhead and a UV sterilizer. The UV made all the difference in the world. i still have the same filtration - I think it just needed time to get balanced. Thank you! |

Yeah but unless I'm mistaken, that tank in the pic was a fish only tank when I saw it and it was going downhill fast (IMO) I don't remember it having any coral, or at least any coral that would survive long.
