I smelled them tonight. They stink. That, along with a reading of ammonia and I tossed anything that looked like that and did a water change.

Thanks AR. I wouldnt want it to eat all the baby turbos. BTW this is the second batch of babies that I have had. There's about 40 or more now in my DT.

Chuck, how's your Gorgonia doing? Mine is falling apart. The outer "bark" layer(the part with the polyps) is falling off.

All my gorgs are still doing fine. Against my better judgement, I have been adding a little bit of Kent Micro-vert. I'll probably take them to the LFS.

I would like to thank Cuddlefish for his hospitality and allowing people he didn't even know to invade his home town. After finally meeting Rico I'm not sure I would extend the same invitation to my place. You never know what sort of folks will show up

I believe I speak for all when I say that we had a great time.

I finally got the pictures resized and uploaded.

These are pictures from the trip. No pictures of the collected stuff here though. I need to take photos of what I brought home (and is still alive).

If someone needs a full sized photo of anything there then let me know. I kept the originals in larger format.

I think this link will work.

Many thanks to our gracious host for his time away from his family, the wonderful food, and a memory filled experience.

Now if I could just get my mail on time and free from damage for once, life would be perfect...

Thanks for the kind words. My daughter and I enjoyed everything. Several blennies we collected and escaped from holding have appeared in my tank. I am surprised that the bird wrasse left them alone.
