125 - Took Forever But Here It is!

[Mschmidt]

That's my plan. I'll probably still get a couple of Peppermint Shrimp just in case since this frag has been in my tank since the middle of October and it's tiny (first one I've seen). There could be more hiding in the shadows where Peppermints like to lurk.

They have for me in the past as well.

My concern is the proximity to the Blasto heads. I know lots use this method but I'm a little clumsy with the syringes and I don't want to blast the Blasto on accident.

hitting the blasto would be tragic.

Lookin purdy. Hiding in the shadows.

The last Goni is settling in, it's starting to extend little by little!

I also just realized that my Campfire split at some point recently. 2 Campfires!

Ever seen a Goni with sweeper tentacles? I'm not just talking longer polyps but one or more of the polyp's lashes are longer.

I swear my Lawnmower thinks he's a YWG... This is a tunnel - not just a cave. It has 3 separate entrances.

Pretty sure he has a Batcave down there.

Well, she passed just after midnight tonight. I've got the rest of today (except my wife wants to go to a friend's house for dinner and a movie), tomorrow, Sunday afternoon/evening, and Monday to get the tank inside and filled. Tuesday and Wednesday are probably going to be spent getting ready to leave.

Everyone can appreciate the situation your in better togo and not have the pain but the great memories. Our hearts go out to you and All yours still here /there.

So the Brightwell AminOmega showed up yesterday! Everything looks good except 1 was open inside the container and half the bottle leaked so I'm getting a replacement. Fed the tank with it and didn't notice any significant PE increase but we'll see if colors or growth increase over the next couple of weeks I suppose. Either way, Aminos and Omegas are good if they're not overdone.

You should get an orphek lens for your phone or camera, helps a lot when posting your pics. Sometimes color can be hard to match, I don't doubt some touch up is done on all vendor's pages, as long as they aren't trying to pull the wool over your eyes. The thing to look for when matching gonis ia the eye color, which looks yellow in both, the ring around the eye, and the base. The tentacles always seem to have the most color and a likely culprit of some photo touch up.

I would recommend this lens Kit as it comes with both Orange and yellow filters for white and blue light set ups:

I'm working on my wife. She doesn't enjoy the fact that I have to spend money on the tank and lenses are a "want" in her eyes since she could care less about the pictures.
