Has he?? How big is he now?
We're working to set up the 90gal now. Spoot's gonna work more on the plumbing tomorrow. Hopefully we'll be set up in a couple weeks and start curing some rock.
Thanks again for keeping him until we get set up.
Now, bring me that horizon...

He's eating like a pig! Eats anything I throw in there--best eater in the tank. Gotten a bit thicker & a lil longer.

Her back looks much better, fins are healing but the eye is still cloudy. She swims in circles, trying to see her food with 1 eye.

Awww, poor baby. Hope she does better soon.
I'm trying to get the tank done, but it turns out the impeller for my return pump is broken, so I need to order a new one before I get back to work...

Yes, I think that is best. Her recent "disability" hasn't slowed down her appetite one bit!

Devlin's eye is finally starting to clear up without any treatment. I really didn't want to stress him out further by catching him. I can actually see his eyeball now & there is very little fungus on it. I'm pretty sure it got swiped by the anemone & just had to heal on it's own.

Aww, man. I can't wait to have SW tanks, so I can get burrfish, and pors and S&S, and even a lionfish!
I can't wait. As soon as I get my own place or we own a house. =]
