gritchie4 Posted May 1, 2011 Author Share Posted May 1, 2011 Update time... You ready for this... Nothing new has happened with the tank Everything is the same as its been for awhile. Just been feeding the sexies, cleaning the glass, and doing water changes. School has been kicking my a**. It seems like almost everyday i have a paper or assignment due. However, during my usual inspection of the tank this morning i noticed some coralline algae forming in the fuge. I have a pic but its not the best. Other than that everything looks the same. Coralline Algae And since I have no other pics of the tank... some pics of the puppies. Link to comment

gritchie4 Posted May 3, 2011 Author Share Posted May 3, 2011 So I decided tonight to mess with my camera phone settings. I got some good pics with the normal light on and some alright actinic shots with my all blue par30 bulb. It is the hardest thing to adjust your camera to take actinic pics with leds. Well hopefully you like.

gritchie4 Posted May 5, 2011 Author Share Posted May 5, 2011 I'd probably be able to afford a DSLR if I stopped buying tank stuff... Yea so could I if i stopped paying rent for like 2 months haha. So this hermit is by far the most photogenic thing in the tank. He sits at the front of the tank and just stares at you waiting to take a pic. Sometimes it feels like he is stalking you lol... kind of creepy. Link to comment

gritchie4 Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 So while feeding the sexies today we had some fighting over food going on. First one of the sexy shrimp and one hermit were playing tug-o-war over a pellet. Then there was the other (smaller) shrimp playing tug-o-war with a huge amphipod. Lets just say the pod and hermit crab won. And now for a random photo of the day haha. Link to comment
