I have an acro colony and huge lot of acans coming from a friend that's moving in a few weeks, so that'll be awesome! I'm also planning on hitting up the Aquarium Adventure sale this weekend to grab a 40B for a classroom, as well as some fish to fill my tank! If I can find some anthias, they're coming home with me at 40% off! Same goes for a longnose butterfly!

Well, this is interesting; we were running the full house fans with windows open to cool off the house. Well, I forgot the fan was on, and now my tank is a cool 73º. Hurray?
A quick flashlight revealed poyps open on everything, so all seems well, but nothing like a stupid mistake at 4 AM to make you worry for a bit!

So look at what I got from the Sea Schor today!
That's right, a trio of Bartlett's anthias!
In other news, my Potter's Angel has a mild bacterial infection in its right eye that I'm hoping passes on its own accord. We'll see, though. As long as it gets better, I'm happy.

I haven't updated here for a while!
I've been busy with the start of school; taking 5 hours of AP Sciences every day along with a college level philosophy class really eats into my time.... I've decided to sell at Fragtoberfest 2013 this weekend, so I've been stocking up on awesome colonies to sell frags of for next to nothing, so my tank has a ton of colonies in it right now, and my frag tank is just about overflowing...
My trio of Anthias sort of exploded; the larger two killed the smallest one, and the fighting stressed my butterfly to death... My Potter's angel started trying to eat all of my coral, so he's been rehomed. Of course, though, what's a tank without fish? I grabbed a MAC Certified Potter's Leopard Wrasse from a store in Florida and a small meleagris from another store down there about a month ago when I was visiting schools, and everything made it back all right. The meleagris died on me after about 2.5 weeks (
), but the female Potter's Wrasse is as happy as can be!
Also, just a bit of a warning for everyone here: my basement is being finished, and the construction men acid washed my basement. Well, when the acid evaporated, it made its way up to my second story bedroom, got into my tank, and bleached and or killed about 50 birdsnest frags, as well as some acros. Keep your tanks airtight when construction is afoot!
The main thing with my tank over the past few months, though, is that I've been selling frags off of my colonies to help pay for any new additions. As that's happened, I've realized that I need a way to clear out my frag tank as fast as I fill it. So, that being said, I've been slowly building out a website that, should this swap go well, will go live. If it does, I'd love to be a CR sponsor, but all in good time. I'm not selling anything off of it yet, but if you want to give it a look and give me some feedback, I'd love to hear it! www.aacorals.com
So, that's my spiel for the past month or three. Now onto the pictures.
I ordered these colonies from a friend in Colorado, and I picked them up from his supplier today:
Potter's Leopard Wrasse (Mai, I'm in the club!)

Well, bad news guys. The tank is coming down.
I had a guy from a few towns over come by earlier today to trade me some dual reactors for some frags, and I turned off the pump to the frag tank. Well, I never turned it back on, which would have been fine because of my check valve on it. It failed. So my frag tank lost about 15 gallons of water into the sump, which overflowed about 5 gallons down through the ceiling which we just had fixed earlier this week from the last time I flooded it.
My parents are irritated and want the tank to go somewhere else, but I'm furious and want the whole thing to be taken down. I'm off to college in a year, and I'm done with having things leak and soak my carpeting. I'm going to donate whatever I can to my school's tank project, which I'm going to now focus incredibly upon, and I'm going to set up a 100 Gallon Rubber made growout tank in my basement.
All of my fish and the corals which I can't live without are going to go into my dad's 125 downstairs, and all of the rock is going to go to the school tank as soon as the janitor's union decides to atatch the RO unit to the sink's hose adapter (another issue in itself...).
I'm not getting out of the hobby by a long shot, but my home operation is going to be more of a growout/frag operation while I run a system of display tanks at school.
I'm absolutely furious right now, and the check valve company is going to be getting a VERY unpleasant phone call tomorrow...
