student 75-gallon

If you remember that the 75-g crashed over the summer. The students have it up again - a 5 person group. It also has a new T-5 fixture on it --- not as many "gadgets" but very simplistic. Our outlets can't take too much, but since they do water changes on it weekly, I think it will be just fine. No skimmer at the moment (might change that), but does have a large HOB with carbon, and 10-g sump with liverock and filter media and carbon. Here's pics. They added the corals over the last 2 weeks.

This rock is about 18" x 12" at the minimum. It's very cool with all the holes and crevices, etc.


and now...can you see the lawnmower blenny?


the ORA clowns are happy to be back in their big tank and out of the temp 40-g that was crammed with "stuff"


And to that mystery donor, hope you can see how nice the zoas and purple rics (on the right) are doing. The zoas you bought from PMike are on the top right of the rock - I don't know what they are but look something like I saw on a website called Stardust PE/Desert Fox.

thanks...yeah, it was a killer to put them in that tank and not my own along with a few others that I got from him.

So...no one has answered! Who can find the lawnmower blenny in the second pic??

Emster, thanks. I'll definately give you a ring next time I'm there.

When we get the new sand we're going to start setting up a few more tanks. The kenya trees and zoas are fragged and ready

Hey lady, no worries about them tubs blues. You will have some for your tank soon enough. They grow pretty quick. I got some of them also. Think he gave me 20 polyps. They now have about 25. I got babies sprouting everywhere on that frag he sold me. Loving it.

the BTA is just fine - let's pretend that whole conversation and post never happened I think I only have 1 but my husband said he saw a second one in the back but I've decided he must be a drug user because I just can't find a second.

The blenny wasn't around in the first pic but he IS in the second pic in the center in a hole.

The kids apparently dropped him ( I didn't hear about this for two days ). No one saw him and didn't tell me. They thought they killed him. This is his hang out, and when I saw him there, I let the kids sweat it out a bit ---- that was WELL worth it!!! All you ever see are his/her pretty little eyes and eyelashes.
