Whew! better late than never!

I wasn't going to enter but over the weekend there was so much going on I couldn't resist! This is gonna be fun!!

Anyway, I'm in and I'm ready. Here's my entry pic. The DVD says it all!



I did have some trouble keeping the socks in place!!

my favorite movie of all time.

good luck! er...i mean go 04! haha.

Get over pootie-tang that quick Tigah?

Pootie Tang is my fav comedy. but fight club is the all-time fav. =P

sorry for the hijack.

Ah it's OK...Fight Club is the best!

But shhh....Rule #1.

LOL. Good luck. I'm pullin' for ya.

is that a boston terrier? my g/f's brother has one. They named her Stinky because...well...she farts. a lot. SBD's are par for the course at their house.


she was a puppymill breeder. She's about 4, and has already had about 12 litters. Crazy.

Looks kinda like a French Bulldog, but then again it probably is a Boston Terrier.

Thanks minimalist!




Yes he's my wee baby Boston...Aengus Finnegan O'Madden. 3 months and is into everything! Oh and as far as farting goes... Oh my lord this little thing can clear a room!! I swear a green cloud lingers over his tiny round head. It'll make your eyes water.

alright....fight club...theres a good movie...i think i gotta go rent that now...anyway good luck ZooGirl. its nice to see all these people in the stock category.

Hook him up to a limewood airstone and DIY yourself an "air-powered" skimmer.

That's a great idea! Only problem is that his fumes are definately toxic.

SO... any plan for zoos in your tank?

Maybe just a few.

Nice Boston... Maybe the mascot for the stock Comp?

He's 15 weeks, not having much the farting problem although he eats like a pig. GOOD LUCK IN THE COMP!

Love that puppy, wish I can get one, but with my crazy twins i think a pup would die of stress in my house !!

Ha...I love it! Your Boston got in on your pic too! That's great. Yours is sooo cute! Mine is 15 weeks too.

Here's my baby's page... http://www.lauriemontgomery.com/aengus.html

Good luck to you!!

I was in the market for boston terrier puppy last year...until my landlord said no more dogs...and we have like 7 dogs in our apt as is!

And looks like u have a tons of them! no fair.

Sorry to hear that you couldn't have one.

I love dogs! I can't live without them. Even when I was in art school in the Republic of Georgia I had to have a couple!

Bostons are great! I highly recommend them...along with Rhodesian Ridgebacks!!

OK...down to business. Here's my current FTS. I figured since we had to post one in the check in thread that I should post it here as well.

I added some zoos and my poor sick/dying yuma. I thought since he was unhappy in my other tank might as well be unhappy in this one. I'll probably take it out though. Also I'm not sold on the aquascaping yet. Things will get moved around again I'm sure. I mean I've only moved those little rocks around 47 times already!

wow someone that even knows what a ridgeback is thats cool

Heh, thanks! I better know what they are since I have two of them!

A nice start, lovely looking zoos. Any chance of a closer pic?

Best regards

Ann

Thanks Ann!

It just so happens I DO have a close up of those tiny babies!

Those are beautiful!

Best regards

Ann

Thanks Ann!

what brand/model light is that and how much did it cost?

That's the Current USA Satellite Model 1001.

It's 12 inches and has 1x18W PC plus moonlights.

I bought it from nanotuners.com for $34.95 + shipping.

Here's the link: Current USA Satellite

I love those Zoos "ZooGirl"

I'm not sure if you saw it, but you might get a kick out of my boston's new trick:

http://scott.fluidimagery.com/logan-escape/

HA! That is sooo funny!!

Logan is so cute! And he's getting so big!! I really wish we lived closer it would be so fun to get the boys together to play!

My friend's daughter took her pug to Pugapalooza, but what we need is a Bostonstock!

Oh man, I couldn't imagine...

Logan is relentless around other smaller dogs with the playing. A friend has a larger Chihuahua (10lbs) that is an a-hole like logan and they just constantly play fight. It's funny but logan has the upper hand now that he's about 13lbs.

Aengus is pretty good with others probably because I have two bigger dogs that don't take any crap from him. Jack is 90lbs and if Aengus is a stinker he pins him to the ground by biting his neck. Heh. He will stick up for himself though when he is around other puppies if they try to push him around he goes after them growling and barking! It's hysterical. He was the smallest boy in the litter and his brothers pushed him around. I think he has a complex.

Well, since my last post there have been a few changes to the tank. I've rearranged the rocks AGAIN, and added a few corals to the tank. I'm still working on position so currently it looks a bit like a frag tank but it's getting there. I'm going to wait to post an updated FTS shot, but in the meantime here is a pic of my favorite coral who seems very happy in his new home. I wuv him!





I've also added my little chocolate zoos which are quite pretty in person!

Fantastic pictures! The sun coral (?) is really gorgeous. I'm looking forward to seeing how the tank looks now with a new aquascape.

Best regards

Ann

Thanks Ann!

nice sun coral! awesome pics!

those look like dendros. Nice tank BTW zoogirl!

i think you're right. too much work for me either way.

Thanks fellas!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it's Dendrophyllia Fistula, sometimes called sun polyps.

yer right too! i just think of dendronephs when people say dendros. i meant suns or dendronephs are too much work.

i got caught in that brain-lock once before on the two corals in another post.

i've just got too much dendronephthya on the mind, sorry. it's very pretty anways!

What, no one has love for the chocolate zoos, only for the fancy-schmancy orange coral?

I love the chocolate zoos.

There, all better.

Love the sun frag, Wish I could find a small one and your pics are awsome maybe you could come over and take the pics for mine.

Thanks Tony! I'll see what I can do for ya there. Heh.

Since my last posting I decided to change out a bit of my substrate. Originally I had planned on using a few cups of the substrate I'm using in my 120g for my pico. Well, it had taken me so long to find a distributor that I broke down and bought some other gravely type stuff for the pico. Unfortunately it wasn't what I wanted. I wanted a very black gravel and this other product was more of a gray granite. It looked OK but after I received my other substrate and seeing how black it is I had to change it. I didn't remove it all, just a thick top layer. I don't have any critters that with stir it up so hopefully it will stay how it is...we'll see. I'm still not ready to post an FTS. I'm having a bit of an algae bloom and as soon as it subsides I'll post one for y'all.

I've also added a few corals to the tank. Here's some recent pics.

Gorgeous green zoos:


A couple very tiny acan frags:




Here's a shot of my GSP and GPE polyps that I received from Todd at Fragpack.com. They're very pretty...Thanks Todd! And if you notice towards the bottom is a feather duster that came in on some zoos. Poor thing's tube was crushed in the shipment so he left it and finally made his new home in the rock. One of the weirdest things I've seen...it swam!

Nice lookin stuff! I've bought frags from Todd in the past for my last tank, he's been a good seller.
..ps... those are great pics.

More great pics!

You're very cruel to hold back the FTS. I can't see much algae in the coral shots you just posted.

Sweet Acanthastrea frags btw.

Best regards

Ann

Thanks Icenine! Yeah, Todd's been really nice to work with. I have a couple more frags coming from him that will probably make their way into the pico too.

Thanks Ann! I know, I'm just being mean...heh. It's mostly diatoms that are on the gravel and the glass. You really can't see it in the pics and it's not really that bad but in an FTS shot it's noticable. Aside from that, not everything is where I want it so I want to wait until things are more in order. I have frags here, there and everywhere! Besides it's so much more exciting this way isn't it? hee.

Ive got some comp. in stock yay!

Thanks Snoop!

Who is Todd?

Todd is from FragPack.com, his online name is B16A2NR. He sells frags in the classifieds once in a while.

Here's a close up of the GPE polyps from him:


The ones in my nano are more purple but that's probably because of the lighting.

when are you gonna post a full tank shot
