gena Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 Yeah, TWD was sad. But beautiful in a way. A gentle soul going out in such a peaceful way. So nothing new here. Just watching things grow. Grow SPS....GROW!!!!! nice blurry shot LOL Bogart has lost some weight, and it's all my fault. There are days when he only eats once a day instead of his two meals a day. I need to get better about that so I don't lose him . Link to comment
kimberbee Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I'm in love with Bogart! Any tips/idea on what makes a tank a happy place for a mandarin, other than lots of pods? Like maybe what kind of "landscape" they like? What kinds of places they sleep? Not that I'm ready to replace Alan right away, but with one less fish, the idea is there... Link to comment

Like maybe what kind of "landscape" they like? What kinds of places they sleep? Not that I'm ready to replace Alan right away, but with one less fish, the idea is there... They are super high maintenance and I won't ever get another. But I'm enjoying Bogart while I have him . And you will love the one you get too . Lots of rock to cruise around on is what I recommend. Bogart sleeps on the sand as far as I can tell. Behind the rocks in the back. I think just as natural a tank as you can make with lots of coral and plants and rock to hide in is the best. You have the totally covered with your biocube!!!!! So I'm doing some tank maintenance today. Mixing water right now because I need to do a scrub down on the squamosa clam. It's got a huge amount of bryopsis growing on it. While I'm at it, I need to rescape. I'm not liking the cluttered look at all. Some things will have to go, I'm afraid. Just haven't decided on what yet. I was thinking the squamosa...but I love it too much to do that YET. So, I've moved the gold clam to an unusual position. I've always kept what Ben told me to do, in the back of my head. Well....I THINK this might work out perfectly. We'll see LOL. Just have to rework everything else now. I really don't want to get rid of anything but I'll probably have to. I need to stop hoarding corals . To be continued......... Link to comment
cindyp Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 fellow coral hoarder! also, mommy is so busy with her hollywood gigs she doesn't have as much time for multiple feedings! wah! just poking in at lunch, and back to revising. good luck cleaning and rescaping, gena! Link to comment
Felicia Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Haha, that clam in the middle of a monti bowl is hilarious. Love it! I hope it stays there because that looks too cool. Nice shots of the leopard and Bogart. Beautiful fish! Hopefully you can fatten Bogart back up again. Link to comment

Thanks Cindy!!!! Well I have no excuse this week since I haven't worked any acting gigs LOL. It's easy to get lazy in this hobby and usually I'm really good about not doing that. Haha, that clam in the middle of a monti bowl is hilarious. Love it! I hope it stays there because that looks too cool. Nice shots of the leopard and Bogart. Beautiful fish! Hopefully you can fatten Bogart back up again. I think it should be fine up there unless it's too much light! It's definitely getting more than on the sandbed. I REALLY like it up there though . Bogart should be fine. He still has a huge appetite. I just need to feed him more than once a day . OK......I'm done moving things around. Giselle the squamosa is now clean and pretty again. I only removed one small rock. Lost the spot for my forest fire digitata but hopefully I can find a new spot for it. It's on the frag rack right now. It's not looking that hot because I've banged it up pretty good when I was getting the cardinal fish out of the tank a few weeks back. I broke it and it's been pale and little polyp extension ever since. Hopefully it's going to pull through. Here's the new arrangement. Not a huge difference, but soooo much better for me. It has some balance again. Can't wait for the acros to grow big and the spongodes too. I really love my SPS pieces . Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Have to say your clam looks mighty comfortable there nestled in. Link to comment
teenyreef Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Love it! The clam looks comfy and the mix of colors and textures is great Link to comment
owenj Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Haha, hope the clam likes it. And yay for keeping the squamosa Link to comment
cindyp Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 gena, i'm pretty inherently lazy, so the fact that i keep up with weekly water changes says something: that i'm procrastinating from writing. and wait, does the mini tide light support SPS? but i don't think my water quality is stable enough. i don't tend to like much of the SPS i see, but i love your fan corals. eta: the rescaping and scrub down went great! everything is gorgeous!

gena Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 Haha, hope the clam likes it. And yay for keeping the squamosa So far so good . The squamosa loves it's new position...it's getting blasted with more light now . gena, i'm pretty inherently lazy, so the fact that i keep up with weekly water changes says something: that i'm procrastinating from writing. and wait, does the mini tide light support SPS? but i don't think my water quality is stable enough. i don't tend to like much of the SPS i see, but i love your fan corals. eta: the rescaping and scrub down went great! everything is gorgeous! Thanks, Cindy . Oh, yes...the tide can handle SPS as far as I know. It gets damn bright LOL. Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend . Link to comment
gena Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 Dusk shots and someone is on the prowl . Anyone heard of the show called Angie Tribeca? I'll be on that show tomorrow. I'm pretty sure it's brand new and not sure if it's even aired yet. From what I'm finding online it's a 2015 release. Looks pretty funny. Stars Rashida Jones and is coexecutive produced by Steve Carell. Maybe I'll get lucky and he'll be there tomorrow . He was my movie crush a few years ago LOL. Now it's Liam Neeson . The call was for upscale, conservative, attractive 20-50 years old. I submitted. They cast me as a "golfer" . I don't know the first thing about golf. Should be interesting . Link to comment

gena Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 Bummer...just called my call tape and the shoot is 30 miles away . It was SUPPOSED to be in Burbank according to the casting call. So I had to call in and cancel. I only go for work in my area..with gas and traffic it just isn't worth the commute . I was really looking forward to working tomorrow too. No Happy Gilmore for me LOL. Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 oooh. We can't "LIKE" that either. Link to comment
gena Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 oooh. We can't "LIKE" that either. I'm bummed. There will be other jobs though. For the future, I'll be sure to verify that the location is what they list online. I just hope this doesn't hurt my standing since I had to cancel. It was clearly not my error though. A 2 hour commute on 3 freeways in LA morning traffic No thank you LOL. Link to comment

Felicia Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Those shots of the clam and Bogart are amazing! What a cool spot for that clam. Does it seem to be happy there? Sorry about the role, Gena! I'm sure you'll get another one soon. I don't blame you for not wanting to fight the traffic! Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Honestly, with all that you couldn't even guarantee you'd be there on time probably. Link to comment
