PaulE915 Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 so uhmmm a little off topic, but who saw J-Lo bust her a$$ last night?? hahah and how disappointing for Eminem... i was a bit upset that he didnt win artist of the year. .. And I must say I disagree with Micheal Jackson having even been nominated for any awards..we all know he wouldnt have even made the guest list if he were still alive.. Link to comment

PaulE915 Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 So, after the sharp decline in temperature overnight here in El Paso, I have decided to relocate my tank to the otherside of the bedroom...awway from the window...I tried to block the window with fleece blanket, yet the tank dropped to 75.5 over night... even with the heater...el paso weather is highly unpredictable...during the day we can be in mid to upper 70's and than drop to the 30's overnight...

You have a few cool arches, that was no accident. Better than my "boulder" approach anyway.. Aug 2007: Link to comment
PaulE915 Posted November 27, 2009 Author Share Posted November 27, 2009 well, thank you..and in the words of the late great donkey from shrek, 'Thats a nice boulder' your boulder approach seems real simple with lots of space for expansion! does your sand have black in it? dude i wanted the black tahitian moon sand stuff but couldnt find it locally, and i hate ordering online.. the waiting just kills me..but in the end, this is about patience right..lol Link to comment

A coworker and got me everything I needed for around $700.00 (chiller, tank, hqi canpopy, lr, ls, everything). But his choice of live rock was terrible. C'mon, 2 hulking boulders? I made the best of it, added a few more rocks. Here's a picture from March 2008. Pile of rock approach: Link to comment

SPARTAN VI Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Noticed you like watching your hermits. Wait til you get a larger one.. I have a big zebra hermit that I felt like target feeding the other day. Guy has a ton of personality.. charged at the pipette, snatched the fish flakes out of them and shoved it in his face. When it was all gone, he decided the pipette was a good source of food, one that he wanted to keep around so he grabbed it and tried to pull it into his shell. Mofo wouldn't let go! I had to pull the pipette out of the water before he went tumbling down. Love that crab. Shame he stomps all over my polyps. Link to comment
