Our Journey To The Salty Side - Part One

[Trod]

Yes I have one too and here he is




Like seffie's he opened up very quickly and looked lovely, I turned on the moonlights and even better, he looked amazing

Then he decided to go for a walk, I spent all evening watching him moving and squeezing between 2 bits of LR till around 22.30 he finally disappeared behind the LR he came on

So went to bed, not to concerned, as This is not unusal behaviour, this morning he was poking out having a look around, so I turned the peice of LR round and he proudly sat on the top, even took some mysis shrimp to munch on great I thought, happy at last.

Nope he's now on the move again, not sure what he is looking for, he's got good flow over him and light, I will just leave him alone now keep an eye on him and hope he finds a nice open spot eventually, were I can over him

Heres another wee tip I'm going to divulge to you and your sis.
Do you ever look at the online magazine
[URL="http/www.reefkeeping.com/issues/past.php"]http/www.reefkeeping.com/issues/past.php[/URL]
Lot of information in this monthly publication,
there may be something in back issues, I'll leave you to look.
Regards
BigC

BTW you must owe me a pint by now

One for Trod

Thanks BigC, I'm one ahead of seffie, I found that article, some time ago, I have it in my lionfish info folder

I'm spending far to much time on all this research, I am back at work on Saturday, gawds knows how I'm going to cope

And then you can take lots and lots of photos for us to sit here drooloing over!!

I bet it looks even better from where you are sat too.

Oh for goodness sake as if this marine business isn't stressfull enough, I have to go and buy a nem
Got up this morning, Gone nowhere to be seen, completely disappeared
So up go the sleeves, in goes the arm, being attacked from all sides by the clowns and shrimps, and rock moving begins, luckily it was hiding under the 3rd rock I moved, looking very very sorry for itself, completely closed up looking like a blob of gloup
Quickly got out the test kits and checked everything, all ok. Nitrate still about 10 can't seem to get it down, did a 25% water change.
I put him up higher in tank and aimed powerhead directly at it, slowly he has come out again and he is, for now, staying put

Talk about getting old before my time

 

[TigerIssey]

Apparently they do do that till they are settled, as you will already know!!

Does not stop you from getting a heart attack a day until it is settled though.

Must say I think you are both very brave, the thought sends me all funny at the moment

Hope it settles soon, got fingers crossed.

How is Seffies doing??

 

[Trod]

Yes you're right, But it didn't look good Just hope he settles soon, so I can relax a bit!

Seffie's has been on the move too, think its also in hiding, she'll be along later, when she gets home from work, with an up date

Wow they look well cool. Can't wait till "the book" arrives to read about them.

At least they are getting exercise moving about. But seeing those clowns trail it was a laugh.

 

[Trod]

Thought I'd show how he's doing now

And If I might indulge myself slightly,
as some of you know I am getting a new Tank for my birthday, which seffie has been organising, now I know nothing about it and nor do I want to till my b'day but this arrived today

OMG Its huge and hidden under sheets and table clothes, sitting in my dining room
I'm not allowed to look, 3 weeks and counting I will move over to the big boy section and begin a journal.

HOW EXCITED AM I

i think seffie might be moving into your house, and you into hers, just to ward of the temptation

 

[bagu]

hey

WOW that's a huge tank!

I'd laugh if its cardboard ;D

can't wait too see it ><

good luck!

[TigerIssey]

It does look a bit deflated, I am sure he will settle down soon.

3 Weeks is a hell of a long time to sit looking at tablecloths and sheets.

This will be the Lionfish tank I presume.

How are you doing with Nem Seffie??

 

[seffieuk]

good luck!

bagu

Oh Bagu, you told her the secret Can't wait to see her face when she opens it if any of you want to do some detective work in the for sale section you will find pictures of the tank, it comes from worcester and whom I bought it from (I know one of you has already found it!) - really lovely chap, will tell whole story after Trods birthday - and there is a tale to tell, as always

Anyway, Nem still looks lovely but as soon as the lights went off last night he went on the move ---- eeek, it's worrying stuff this nem keeping but oh so fasinating AND the clowns have started to bite me they didn't do it before the nem went in but as soon as he went in they started, little, b***ers
