kimberbee Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 5pm can't come soon enough! Normally my Fridays are a cakewalk, but with the shuffling of employees and year-end approaching, I'm being asked to help with extra projects when I'm already being pulled 10 different directions. Time to take a breath, remain calm, and just take my time to get everything done right the first time. I didn't clean up my tank last night because I forgot BF had borrowed my siphon. I'm actually looking forward to a really deep cleaning session tonight. By one get one free at Starbucks in 3 hours... That'll help get me through the afternoon! Link to comment

I've worked my butt off all week and I just don't want to do it today. Link to comment

ninjamyst Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 just saw Reefwise got Purple Firefish and Helfrichi Firefish in =). Link to comment
kimberbee Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 Tank is all clean and pretty!! I spent about an hour cleaning it up last night: basted the junk off rocks, siphoned the sand, scrubbed the glass, changed out my media bag (carbon and phoslock), put in a new filter pad, and wiped the plastic light cover. I really need to find smaller media bags, as the one I have is too big and bulky to fit in my media basket. One of the LFSs (Reefwise!!) posted that they received ton of new corals and fishes a few days ago. BF and I are heading there in a bit because he is on the hunt for a pink birdsnest. I know I'll be tempted to buy all the things... Link to comment

Can't wait to see what you come home with . Link to comment
kimberbee Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share Posted November 16, 2014 Why hello little acan!! IMG_5290 by kimothy182, on Flickr Understandably, he's still a little mad. I wanted to bring home more euphylla (there were cool looking torches) but I was good and only brought home this one little coral this time. BF has been on the hunt for a hot pink birdsnest, but settled on a little piece of ponape that he's placing now. I caught Herbie being a little cannibal, eating a molt. Gross... IMG_5281 by kimothy182, on Flickr My creepy green monster is doing GREAT in my tank. I loooooove its big fluffy polyps! IMG_5283 by kimothy182, on Flickr The purpley goodness has already attached itself to my rock, which is good, but I think it's color could be a little better - it was more greeny-purple at the LFS. I also feel the polyps aren't as out and about as they should be. IMG_5196 by kimothy182, on Flickr And here's the Mr. Setosa from Mr. Microscope! IMG_5195 by kimothy182, on Flickr Link to comment
