some shots from yesterday...

Pink micromussa didn't make it, nor did the cyphastrea microphthalma. Other than those, everything is doing really well. Here are a few shots...

Peace,

Pray tell- where do you find this stuff?

Very nice Chip! Either you have no kids or lots of money! I love all the colors on your SPS collection. Thanks for the post in the General forum first time I even saw this forum!

Beautiful, Chip! Sure makes me rethink my stance on Acans.

I may have to plan a midnight raid at Chip's house.

Ben,

You've got to post new pics of that gorgeous teardrop clam of yours!

 

[Ben1]

Oh how I wish I could, but I lost it. I was going upstairs one night and like an idiot I uplugged my moonlight from the quick disconnect and hung it on the hood. I have cats and sometime during the night one of them knocked the cord in the tank while it was still plugged into a non gfci outlet. The ends of the quick disconnect had copper prongs by the time I found it the next day the prongs were gone, which is what I really think did it.

In anycase of all the clams in the tank, my big derasa, a nice blue maxima, and a gold teardrop the blue/green teardrop was the only thing I lost. By the time I pulled the wires out of the water the teardrop had released from one side of the shell and never recovered.

I try not to think about that beauty and move on...

Aww, man! That really sucks! My deepest condolences

Barry (clamsdirect) spoke to our club last Friday, and told us he no longer gets the colored tear drops because of the mortality rate. Yours seemed to be one of the healthy winners.

Well, that's another reason why I don't like cats :lol:

Jeez Ben, that really sucks! Sorry about the clam.

Nearly all of my stuff I purchased from other hobbiests. When I need to shop online for corals, I go to either Atlantis Aquarium or Reefscience. They always have the best stuff. I'll also say have a peep at Reefer Madness...they get crazy stuff as well.

Peace,

Chip
