Thanks Greg. You ought to stop by and meet him. :) Tuesday morning, after breakfast and doing his business (outside) Oscar decided he liked one of my dog toy baskets as a dog bed. Needless to say, I found another basket and lined this one with a blanket. Voila! He won't be fitting in that for...

Thank you Debbie, Jim, Tony, and Matt. :) Debbie, oh yes, VERY much like a newborn. And even though they're a lot of work when this small, I try to enjoy every moment because they grow up way too fast. Jim, I might take you up on that. He's our first American Bulldog. We've had a Golden...

Thanks so much Mike, Phyl & Brian. :) I had honestly forgotten how much work a puppy is. :P And this one is a handful. Eats, pees, poops, plays, sleeps - repeat over and over. Everything goes in his mouth, so I'm literally on his behind every minute he's up. We puppy-proofed everything, but he...

Our newest family member has finally arrived. No, not a German Shepherd, as initially planned, but an American Bulldog puppy. I'm happy and excited to introduce "Oscar". He will be 8 weeks tomorrow. Max is super careful around his new buddy, it's almost comical to watch how he tippy-toes...

Chuck, I don't know how much you shaded it, so I can't say whether you should remove the rock or not. But if it's eating, then that's a good sign. :) Don't move it. Leave it be. Perhaps take a picture of how you shaded it. Oh, and is it possible your water parameters changed somehow, and...

Chuck, I can't see all the images. Is it just me? ??? Those that I DO see, I don't see any visible damage. Has it ever extended its tentacles more than that? My elegance tentacles are easily 4-5" long. As said earlier, sometimes mine looks like yours, but never for long.

Now you've got me equally confused. ??? If it's an Aussie, then it IS ok under good lights - but on the bottom of the tank. How deep is your tank, and what type of lighting do you have? Can you possibly post a picture when you get home from work? Don't panic either. Remember, Bill's and mine...

Chuck, if I'm not mistaken, it's the Indo Elegance that like dirtier water and less flow. The Aussie ones can tolerate, and do quite well in clean water, under moderate flow. Heck, I don't think there's a place in my tank that gets "low" flow. It's either moderate, high, or very turbulent. :o My...

Chuck, what type of elegance is it, Indo or Aussie? Indos have a very bad rep these days and an extremely high death rate. They just seem to wither away, for no apparent reason. You said its tentacles haven't been extended as long as before. What about the oral disk? Does it appear swollen at...

LOL, you got me, too. I used regular computer fans, and their speed can be adjusted.

Mott (= Tom) Today I finally visited Tom again - gee it's been a LONG time since I'd been there. The reason for the visit was that Tom had been looking for a frag of an ORA Chip's Acropora, and I happen to have a medium-sized colony. Well, I don't "sell" anything anymore (most of you know why)...

What happened? I thought you were only going to use T5s? ???

Thanks Merv. I'm having one of my "super slow" days today. :-X

What's that? :-[

Ditto what Phyl said. I always made sure I made a HUGE water change after a treatment, waited a week, did another water change, added fresh carbon once again, and then re-introduced the inverts. Make sure and acclimate them a bit though, as your quarantine tank may not have the same parameters...

Everyone's probably going to crack up laughing now, especially since I'm not known for my fishing skills. 2 years ago my entire family went for night blues on the NormaK, and between the 4 of us, we caught over 50 fish! I actually quit half way through because my arm was SO tired of hauling...

LOLOLOL I'm gonna be a good girl here and bite my tentacle, ...I mean lip. ;D

What are you talking about not as pretty as mine? It's BEAUTIFUL!! I love the coloring on it. Thanks so much for posting the picture for me. Has it been eating well for you? Mine gobbles down several hacked up pieces of silversides once a week, and then I have to shoo all the fish away until...

Bill, I just looked at all the pictures again, and I don't think I see your Elegance. Where is it? ???

What's the matter, Mike, are Kim's undies riding up on you, or was it the dress? LOL Now get building!
