As a bonus, I will throw in a first generation Nook e-reader (the white ones with e-ink on top and a lithe touch screen at the bottom). I am currently seeing if it charges up, but last I knew it did. This has a crack in the plastic on the left side, but should be functional. Comes with a case and changer also.

I have a new looking Nook Simple Touch with Glowlight (last generation) for sale. Decided I don't do enough reading anymore for a dedicated e-reader. Screen is in excellent condition. Touch screen (IR based) and physical buttons (the latest generation removed the physical buttons). Front Glowlight is nice for night time reading and easy on the eyes.

Comes with Nook, box, usb cable, wall adapter, and a Spec case.

Asking $40 cash.

I have a busy next couple of days, so probably won't be available to meet until Monday (South Austin area).

PM or reply here.

You might try mysis ... krill seems a bit large for a juvenile fish.

I personally love the 130/45 toll roads, but mainly due to the lack of traffic on them (ok, and the fast speeds ). I did notice the other day coming back from Elgin to Buda there were a lot more cars on 130/45 than I normally see. But as stated above, I am sure that is way below what was projected.

I suspect the new acquisition from the shore needs to be fed

Great stuff from Richard and Sherita!

Looking great!

That's good to hear! Mine likes to eat dried seaweed with my tangs.

Individual angels vary on nipping corals. Mine likes Kenya trees, and picked on a few smaller polyped gorgonians. I don't have any SPS, so not sure on that. But he leaves my LPS and zoas alone.

Bringing money and chaos...

So you are bringing some kids, huh?

Here's some things I've got in the tank for trade or $:

Zoas - Dragon Eyes, misc. reds, blue, purples and greens

Palys - Utter Chaos, Green Grandis

Hollywood Stunner chalice

Montipora- Maroon cap, orange cap, green with blue dots

Japanese Dendros

Green tip hammers

Pipe organ blastos

Spongodes

Green cactus pavona

Neon green toadstool leather (made a new bunch of frags just for the swap)

Birdsnest - (frags and nice colonies) ORA Green, ORA Bird of Paradise, ORA Ponape, bright green, pink

Forest Fire Digi

ORA Miami Orchid Acro

Misc. gorgonians

Trumpets

Colorful clove polyps

Misc:

JBJ 1/3hp chiller

Vertex Zeo Reactor

Exquisite handmade wool rug

I see where my hard earned money is going....

That is pure sweetness there!

Paint/cover camp here also.

Love the FTS, it shows how the BTA actually looks in perspective. Good job!

Is that a purple gorg in the front?

Yes, an unhappy finger gorgonian ... it didn't bounce back from the water change like everything else as quickly.

That sucks

At least the six line is still there to swim around.

More pictures.

If only the clown was in focus:

Love the rose anemone:

Green ones again:

More clown + anemone:

Best picture I could get of the goby and shrimp pair:

Must be handy to clean ones own shell:

About time I did an update about this tank. It has been chugging along great so far. Just did a water change today, and decided to snap some pictures as the water and glass are nice and clear now.

Both clowns play in the anemone, though there definitely is one that mainly does. The birdsnest is doing fantastic. All of my previous attempts with SPS in my large tank have failed. But I am getting tons of growth.

Hope to add more coral next week at the frag swap.

Some down time at home led to me not only doing a water change, but also a minor re-scape. It went better than I planned, as I didn't completely remove all the rock this time

Mostly, I pushed the rock more toward the back (more wall like). This opened up the sand bed some more. I am pretty pleased, and all the fish are accounted for.

Here is a still-cloudy and corals are still pissed off quick shot.

I have two 48" BML fixtures I bought from the Dome. I think they are the Reef Spectrum ones. I really like them, and things in the tank have done great (went from 2 150w MH). Some Symposium I have really took off after I added the LEDs.

I really like the edge-to-edge lighting I get with LEDs.

My favorite of his is amazingly stranger than fiction, which I suppose is a comedy although very dry. That ice skating one, although one of the dumbest movies I've ever seen, had me laughing pretty much the whole time.

Just watch SNL celebrity jeopardy. He's pretty good in those.

Yes! The Jeopardy skits are the best!

Interesting "new" product. The feature I like the most is it works in tandem with the thermostat for the Auto-Away function.

The one downside is it would be expensive to replace all of our smoke detectors with these...

This is the reason I moved to Austin ... the lack of snow

Figured I would post some recent pictures of it. I added some plants from the back water feature (which I tore apart and re-did), and my wife has been busy landscaping around it.

Overall views:

Waterfall view:

Serious bunny view:

In terms of life, we have heard a few frogs in it .. and the other day I saw this big black ball in the upper "pond" section before the waterfall. I thought it was some leaves, so I went to scoop it out and it was all jelly like ... then the black things separated out into a ton of tadpoles. Now we know what the frogs were singing about

Looks like a toadfish. In Cozumel I have seen "Splendid Cozumel Toadfish" while diving:

Just a warning .. those palys could take over your tank. Those look like the same ones I got from RCA years ago, and they dominate 1/3 of my 75g. Now this is not necessarily a bad thing .. I am content with them covering up the rock. Though they have smothered some smaller zoas.
