Back homeSometimes I’m slow to catch on. Sometimes I’m just plain stubborn. In the case of podcasts I’m guilty of both. Last week I broke down and subscribed to a couple of reef based podcasts – TalkingReef and Reefcast. iTunes makes subscribing trivial and I have to say I’m sorry I held out as long as I did. Podcats ROCK and my commute just got a little less sucky.
Picked up a Tridacna derasa clam from the local fish store, North Side Aquatics. I’ll have to keep an eye on it as they can grow upwards of 20 inches!
Say hello to Foxy our new Royal Gramma Basslet.
Foxy has been with us for a few days now and so far so good. She’s dug out quite a hidy hole where she spends the evenings. Although a bit of a bully at times she seems to be getting along nicely with her tankmates.
Okay this sucks. We came home from our Mother’s day visit to find our Lawnmower Blenny (aka Tiger) deceased in the overflow. We’re not exactly sure what happened. We’re testing and retesting our water parameters. Our snails, crabs, shrimp and coral are thriving so it’s doubtful we have water issues. We’ll try again next week with a Royal Gramma Basslet.
The mystery is over – we found Chip tonight.
We had searched all around the tank when he came up missing. The one place we didn’t look was around the corner in the laundry room. Tonight we found him there against Simba’s litter box. Evidently Chip jumped out of the tank and either worked his way around the corner or had a little help from Simba. Regardless Beth and I are bummed.
