:shock: ...and to think....he's a professional.....sheeeesh.....

okay....back to the good stuff.....thanks to edmlfc i am now on my way to having a new home for Chong....it was with her sincerety and goodnatured personna that i now have the tank up and running and getting ready for chong's arrival.....
the tank was courtesy of my boyfriend...and the stand he got me for valentine's day.....he also gave me the wet/dry and carried it all with me into the house..... :D
i made a trip to the LFS's yesterday and got a new overflow box, salt, and pump......
i went to visit edmlfc...(Lissa) today and not only did i get to meet chong in person....i also got to meet Elvis, and Annabelle.....wow..is all i can say...all of them are magnificent....including their mom......
during my visit Lissa took me to her super duper HEB and i got mussels, squid,clams, octopus, and crab.....it was awsome....
when i left her house i brought home a skimmer, a hose for my wet/dry, live sand, live rock and a gorgeous piece of holy rock that my boyfriend quickly jacked from the back of my truck..... :shock: .....
i set up the tank, got the sand in, the live rock, and the water, got the wet/dry up and running and everything in place to start cycling for chongs arrival after he gets out of hypo......he's absolutely amazing....i just wanted to hug him and elvis....i had a wonderful time there.....and i hope to go visit again....
so here's the pics of the tank going up and running.....enjoy.....i'm sooooo excited....

that i'm getting Chong or that i got to meet Elvis and Chong?.... :D
i had such a great day yesterday meeting all of them....i can't even begin to describe the experience...but i will never forget it.....and their human puffer mom is a fantastic lady and i'm very honored to call her my friend.....


on another note....i can't tell everyone how excited i got at 4am when i got up for work and turned on the light to the tank to check if the clarity had gotten better....to my amazement all the little life forms that live in the rock had emerged and were playing on the surface of the rock.....i was like ohhhhh my god where's my camera.....i did get a couple of pics that i'll post when i get off work this evening.....i have little starfish, and all kinds of little life forms in there.....i didn't want to go to work for wanting to sit and watch everything.....i am so amazed....it's wonderful......

Every Thalassoma wrasse I have come into contact with has been a bad word.
