My LEOPARD WRASSES and green torch are doing great..... I just wanted to say thanks for the beer and great coral/fish

I saw the euroreef nano skimmer at MACNA 2 year ago and it was cool looking.

If you are talking about sapphire aquatics then it is a nice skimmer. All skimmers take about a week to break in. The owner of Sapphire is super nice and make beautiful acrylic equipment. They are located out of Houston so if you need any custom acrylic work I highly recommend them. If you have any issues with the sapphire I recommend contacting them.

If you go to a computer supply store like frys or Altex they have some "silent" cpu case fans. They usually are < 30 db and work well for canopy cooling fans

nudis usual look like what they eat and it looks alot like a white sponge. I would guess that would be its food source BUT that is just a guess. If that is the case your a lucky. I too have battled the zoa nudis and remember the pain I went through. Once I move my big tank to AUstin I am going to set up a QT tank as well

I have wanted to set up a pico for some colorful nudis but the more research I do on them the more I think it will not work. The only nudis that I know that people are able to keep and reproduce are the Berghia and that only works if you have plenty of aptisia to feed them.

a painted angler are cool fish

A dragon ell would be sweet. I think your tank would be a bit small though.....

a blue star leporad wrasse

two of my fav wrasses are

Cirrhilabrus rhomboidalis

and

Cirrhilabrus lineatus

WOW that is SWEET!!!!!! I have wanted to keep an octo or cuttle for a long time. Both proved to be very hard to keep and have short life spans. I would not keep a blue ring though...... Wow you got some serious guts........... I had a friend in Houston that had one for a while. He feed his clams and damsels. There was a lfs in Houston that carried salt water malies. You might see if any of Austins lfs would caries them as they were cheep feeder fish. Once I sell my House in Houston so I can get one in Austin I might rethink about keeping one. I am curious to see how long yours lives as most of the stories I here is the ones that are collected are near the end of their life cycle. There used to by a guy in cali that was breading them called some thing like tomotoocto or something like that. But I think he shut down his operation.

do you still have the tank?

I stopped by last night. Still no power brown but they did have a sweet yellow banded pipe fish that I would have bought but it was sold already

They did get in some very nice corals and fish.

if you use a durso your overflow will be silent. Here is a link on how to build your own and you can buy one there if you do not want to build one. http://www.dursostandpipes.com/

Also check out a horizontal overflow or a claflo overflow as they are silent and I think are a better design if you do not already have the tank.

ahhh man you were the one. I put in quite a few tickets on the ORA stuff but did not win any

You got some nice clams!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sweet!!!!!!!!!!!! I guess I picked the wrong day to stop by as I was there last night

Did you happen to get in a Power Brown or a Two spot Bristleetooth Tang?

I will have to swing by to check out the new shipment. It sounds NICE!!!!!!!!!

John

I will be there and can not wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
