My pair of Jawfish have had separate burrows in the back and at each end of my tank for along time now. A few days ago I noticed a burrow in the right front corner under a drab brown Frogspawn. To my amazement, both Jaws are happily fortifying the same burrow, and their doing it where I can...

Some pics taken last week of Purple Stylo, Orange Digitata, Unidentified SPS and my Gonio, which has finally re-emerged and started to feed again. I should move the Sinularia but the color contrast is nice. So far there's been no battle, we'll see.

Haven't posted in a few months, hardly been able to visit either. I moved early in Sept., Aug. was spent planning on how to move the reef and the 125 frag/fowlr/qt/orchid tank. This week the 125 has Lions in it, oh well. Aside from a hernia, losing a number of sps much cursing and a broken toe...

After being sent to fish pergatory, ie. my 125 punishment tank along with her partner in crime, my Asfur Angel for the past 9 months, I tried to re-introduce them both to the reef. They never bothered my corals to any great extent, it was their attitudes towards my other Angels that annoyed me...

Posted a month or so ago about a Majestic I rescued with severe clouded eyes and a nasty case of Amylo. He has recovered, quite well actually. I moved my reef and juggled the Angels around. Included some pics of the rebuilt reef. Let me know what you think. By the way, it's tough getting pics of...

If you don't know by now,I love Angels. Came across a sick Majestic a couple hours ago. Both eyes are clouded over, but he eats like a champ. Not sure how he see's food, but he does. I couldn't let this guy suffer the way he was. So with the threat of bodily harm he was given to me. At present...

Work kept getting in the way, keeping me from getting the Personifer out of QT and into the reef. She's finally in. Not a True Personifer, but a Queensland Yellowtail, handsome fish just the same. Can you call a girl " Handsome? " Just wondering.

Getting ready for work yesterday morning and on checking my tanks before leaving I noticed my temp controller on the 125 was reading 75 with the heater switched on, that tank is set for 78. The element is in the sump, the water in the sump was quite warm, I discovered that somehow the probe had...

Hello to all, some call me John, some, other things. Been a fish nut some 40 plus years, salt and reefs for more than 20. Was a member of fish channel but the 2 and 3 year veterans who know it all forced me to look elsewhere, I hope "Goldbarb" is not a member here. Been keeping large Angels in...
