Prince Albert isn't just a fish

Stayed home last night and worked on the salt tank. Stopped by Aquapals on my way home, but they didn't have much in the way of tanks and stands, and the only live rock I saw wasn't for sale. Later on, I ran down to Capital Coral in Chatham and talked to Ray for a few minutes. He's got some really gorgeous feather dusters. Once I get Albert back in the main tank I want to get a couple.

I'm thinking about upgrading my tank. You all knew it was coming! :) The tank I'm looking at is a 46 corner tank. I think it would look pretty cool in the family room, with a big horseshoe of live rock covered in corals. It's a pretty deep tank, so I'm thinking about metal halides for lighting, but I need to also be thinking about whether to do a sump or not. It'd be nice to hide all the equipment. Just thinking at this point. He had a really nice wave tank, and a bowfront that was just too cool, but also pretty pricey at $1100. As far as livestock goes, I don't know that I'd want to add much...I really like Albert being an only fish, and it gives me the ability to care for him a little better. Ray was really surprised that he lived through the crab attack. However, a six-line wrasse would be pretty cool, too.

The main tank is looking better, but still skimming a lot of liquid every other day or so. I'm probably going to hold Albert out of it for a few more days, until everything is back to normal, before I put him in with the crab again. He seems to be doing okay in the quarantine tank, but the cats are driving him nuts. They like to stalk him. The qtank is only 10 gallons, so there's not a whole lot of moving around he can do in it.

Ok, here are your responses to the Finish the Sentence survey:

1. My ex is: on the back of a milk carton, and I don't know anything about it
7. I lost: my mind, have you seen it?
10. Love to me is: helping me move the body
14. My cell phone is: programmed to play the theme from MacGyver when the Turnip calls
22. I got this from: the Queen of All Knowledge and Everything Wonderful

awww :)

better get busy.
