Nanofreak79 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Sorry to hear about your buddy, Kyle . I totally understand taking a step back and looking in the now, you're never guaranteed tomorrow. Hopes for you have better days ahead, sooner than later. Jon Link to comment

kguske2 Posted July 26, 2015 Author Share Posted July 26, 2015 Appreciate it everyone. Its certainly a wake up call, in the worst way. No day is a given and should be treated as such. Anyway, I took some pictures to get my mind off of things for a bit. Macro pictures can be such a hassle with using a tripod and what not, but the results can be awesome! The textures of some of these creatures is pretty cool and hard to see with the naked eye. Its also really difficult to not blow out every picture with too much light, as you can tell. Out of focus but still looks cool Sponges like my snail shell Probably my favorite "cornbred coral" or maybe even the only one I have left hmm don't remember Current state of my tank Oh.

Like em I don't remember if you did or not I got mine from reefcleaners. they grow algae fine, but not sure if its related to the rocks or all the fish that died and lack of giving a damn lately.... last 4+ months lol His shipping is absolutely horrendous, mind as well not even box them but the rocks look nice and are porous atleast. Stacked nicely and all that good stuff. I ordered 20lbs of marco rubble, 90% of which is in my sump, and algae free tho it also gets 0 light so that may be why lol Link to comment
