The Undecided Reef

Went to a local reopening of a pet store . The name is changing and even though I don't like crowd,I really had a great time .
The owners n staff were great . They made sure everyone went home with a prize .
I was pretty shocked that I won a great prize . I actually don't care for clownfish anymore .
That is exactly what I won .

A pair of Frostbites
I took this pic in the store to check them out .

 
In their new home . The actinics were on when I got home .
I snapped a pic after acclimating them .

 
I might get lucky n get a frag of the old school OA Fire-garden Acro

A pic of her colony .

It may be old school but it's still a gorgeous acro


 
The clowns I won in the raffle unfortunately were not in great shape when I got them . One passed away this morning . The other was stressing pretty bad and exhibiting the same .
Any who I took both back to the store . I was pretty sure it was not my doing and will resolve this later with the lfs.
Thye lfs gave me a discount for the clown troubles on the pygmy ..Kudos ..to University Aquatics ..
In the meantime I spotted this cute lil fish . I moved the rainford goby from qt to the cube .I also added a Bangaii with the Golden Angel.
I know it's risky with corals but any pygmy is hit and miss.

Pretty shy so it's hard to get a pic. Will try for better ones later


in the store





After acclimating ...

Well that was odd three pics of the same.
I finally got my tang in. A white tailed bristletooth
. Was listed as small but I wanted smaller since I won't be able to keep it for all that long. . I already have a new owner waiting when the tang has to go to a larger home.

As far as the tang po po r concerned .They r more than welcome to come to the home. I will he happy to show them the meaning of " the right to bear arms ".;-).

Great looking coral (Fire Garden) I need to ask Jeff at Reef Chief where I can score a frag! Looking good!
 
Thanks
That frag is from a good friends colony . They never cut it for anyone. I might be the second person that got one from my friends .
Well it's time to quit bumming water n test kits from buddies.
Took advantage of the holiday savings .
Picked up the big 3 test kits by Nyos. Kinda cheap in form factor n not robust like the red sea. I was glad the mag test was easier to use than the RSF.
The other test kits n ro/ di unit should be here sometime today. BTW don't pay the giga Spencer squash air fresh any mind. I had relatives visit over the holidays n I gave them my last two sets .(it's a jdm thing ). I order ed the mag test n giga spencer from Amazon .

The other 3 test kits showed up. The Deepwater Aquatic's/ Aqua FX Ion ro/di showed up with no padding in the box . As a result the pressure gauge was busted , broken tds switch n bent bracket where the pressure gauge took the impact.

Took a long waited trip to the airport with ECUreefer .. The live rock has finally arrived .
It had all kinds of critters in the bottom of the box.
I guess they were trying to survive the trip from Indonesia. Some did survive .. I also found a live mantis shrimp in there .

The rock seems to be a mix of different types.
Not as much fused as I hopes for but plenty of color n character. It was well worth the wait since May 25th. Rock was air freighted in. This was no boat rock.
This is a pic of one of the rocks . It's going to ECUreefer since he advised me he needs more and it's too big for my 40.

Earlier we got some lunch but wanted to check out the rock before we hit the road again .
That is Ecureefer opening his box .
