i picked up the clowns last night and despite what finding nemo has to say, they are pretty funny. they barely ever left the corner of my tank by the overflow last night and they are small enough to fit right through the teeth, so i put a piece of plastic screen to cover it, and one managed to get under the screen . i used a flashlight last night and they were mhosting in the mag float. then this morning when i woke up they had their own little corner.

they're always my favorite fish to have.

I got a new corals today as well. I got a pink Pocillopora and a light yellowish-green A. granulosa/loripes. I'll try to get pics tomorrow.
We're picking up Baron (our dog) tomorrow. He's been really nauseous and throwing up. They've been giving him some anti-nausea to help him, but he still won't be getting his second dose tomorrow. He's over ten years old, and that's near the age when golden retreivers start having a lot of problems.

He's got stage four lymphoma, btw. If he was fifth (last) stage, we would've had to put down and I wouldn't have been able to deal with that...

Ours was tonight tool It was 34-14. We aren't gonna kick some arse because we played a very weak school.

But I have my first varsity soccer game today. Actually kick off is in less than two hours so I've gotta go.....

Haven't you seen all these pointless threads? They're bored... Anyway, riding a bike around UF is dangerous - yesterday I almost got hit by a bus... So yeah, now I have to dodge buses and the mounted police... Bike police... These guys are tough, two days ago I saw a fellow biker getting a ticket for speeding...

Considering that usually in my town ric goes for ~$3/polyp I would say not a bad deal indeed.

Ok update time. While I was at camp, my mom tore up my rug and took out my closet. She replaced the rug with a tile floor, and added a central drain. Right now we're taking down my loft and cutting a hole in the wall for my 55 reef. I decided on a 55 because I'm going to do a beach and tides.

The top sand will be the beach. I'll get some pebbles and make it look like a rocky coastline. I'm debating whether to go cheesy and put some little martini umbrellas on the beach, among other things. I'll have lots of macro (noncaulerpa) on the slope along with anemones and such. I'll have some live rock in the center and BAM. All done, with a kickass reef. I am getting sand and rock from Tim (TimSalty) and lights from Julio, which I'm paying for in installments. They are 250w DE PFO pendants. 2 of em. Now all I need are ideas on how to make a sand slope like the one pictured. Ogh, and this will be an in-wall tank, picture frame and all. One wall in our house has like 50 pics from the Giangrasso family. Christmas, new years, etc. Now a reef will join them.

Do something along the same lines, just with sand.
