Maybe the trip from SD to Texas was tough on the torch. Weather has been pretty whacky lately.

 

That is a forest of chaeto!

I am so sorry. It is hard to see them unexplainably not make it once in our systems. Shipping is hard on things no doubt. I hope you can get some kind of reembursment.

That's a bummer. Hope you can get something worked out with them.

well it wasnt from their shipping it had been in my tank for 3 weeks then died. I have no idea why especially since my tank just runs it self right now. And with all of the other euphyllia doing so well i couldnt tell you what is going wrong...

Updated tank shots. I leave for Japan tomorrow which I am extremely excited for! spending a couple days there a lone in the big cities of Tokyo and Osaka before meeting up with my sister and her class. I will be taking tons of photos and videos don't worry haha. I get to turn the trip into a 3 hour independent study for school which works out for me!

Also I went wake boarding with some of my friends last weekend and make a quick video for fun. Check it out!


Anyways here is some photos of the tank i took last weekend.

Spectacular pics as usual, tank's looking great.

 

Have fun in Japan man. Stay away from the Yakuzas. Don't want any crazy blonde chicks paddling you with a samurai sword....

 

Fun vid, looks like a tourism ad... haha.

Been a while since I updated. I was really busy in Japan and getting back into school. Japan was a blast! It was an exhausting trip going 3000 miles across Japan in 10 days. A once in a lifetime experience that I will never forget.

For the most part the tank looks great but I did lose 3 torches 1 hammer and 1 Blasto in some flesh eating bacteria. I moved around the torches to up top to make more room. And now I am going to have to move the Bubble Coral because it is touching the glass. I have room to just move the right island closer to the left Island.

Here are some updated photos of the tank

Tank looks great. Sorry about the losses while you were away. Our worst nightmare with our tanks when we are away. Everything looks great though. Japan sounds like it was a wonderful experiance. Cant wait to see more photos!

Sadly woke up today and saw that one of my newer leopard wrasses was on it side in the sand bed barley breathing.. Soo he was a gonner. I think when i bought him he wasnt on a full stomach. And a maybe he didnt get enough food. Sucks sometimes. Any ways I talked to the guys from Petco in College station and they let me have 50% off a purple fire fish. I was stoked for that since i have been wanting that fish for 6 months.

I have a Rebel T2i, I bought it back in 2011 I believe... No idea how to use it. Auto seems to work best for me lol. I'm sure it has to take better pictures that my phone!!

Thats not a bad camera! I started out on that thing. You just need to get a decent lens and learn how to shoot in Manual mode
