im most likly getting some nice marshall island that the LFS has had around for a long time in there display tank (i talked to the manager a couple days back and he said he'd actually sell it to me for about $4.00 per pound cause he wanted to try out some new tonga.) but if there arent any pieces that strike my fancy or will fit in my tank, i might just get some of the VERY nice fiji they always have. and no new piks tonight, cause nothings changed lol, and the chiton is hiding plus the crab is too small to take a decent pik of lol.

cheers

Well i got another 5lbs of LR today, and its looking good! i didnt go for the marshal as the pieces didnt look that great for a nano, so i got some nice semi-cured fiji! im thinking of going out and getting a smaller mabye 3 lbs piece in a few min, but here is the tank as of now!



and here is a pik of my ghetto lighting.



cheers

reptile lamps? nahh, just clip-on work lights with daylight bulbs, my dad (a professinal photographer) uses them for a lot of his stationary shots.

but i got even more new LR, and its a nice pointy piece like Jenness reccomened lol *celebrate but i did get a nice little green snail on it!

as of now, the tank has ~8lbs. of LR

please excuse the cloudiness, the sand doesnt take to aquascapign well...lol also i must give credit to my grand-mother who helped me aquascape it all.



also excuse the crappy photography, im am FAR to lazy to get the good camera out, and my tripod is holding up lights *BOUNCINGS

cheers

Soo....update time, right now i am scrubbing away at my kinda almost un-cured LR, as everything that seems like it will die, HAS died, but tis still stuck to the rock, so when im done with that and the W/C that goes with it i will post some piks of it. but this moving of all the rocks has given me a chance to get some useable photos of a mystery organism.

so here are a couple piks.





it is very flexible like a sponge and is quite furry too...i really dont know what it is.

cheers
