hey check this out. I got a vid of one of our sexy shrimp hosting our Coco worm. Sorry if it is a bit fuzzy at times I'm not use to the vid feature on the camra.

those sexy's are great! too bad the one on the coco worm isn't in the front a little more so you can see it better in the video... i just love how they shake their booties, nice to have the video so you can show it off!
Well I have todays readings. Things still seem to be doing good. I freaked out a bit when doing the test. I all ways do the Am. test first and let it sit while I do all the rest of the test and when I was done and went and got our log book to write the readings down I looked at the tube for the Am test. It was reading around 1.0. I was like what the hell is going on, so I thought to myself that this had to be wrong. I tested it again to be sure the test was right and it came up zero. I had forgotten that I use the syringe to feed the tank today and there must have been some food in the syringe. I guess I wont be using that one for tests any more.
So the readings are:
Sg 1.024
ph 8.2
Am 0
rites 0
rates 3 or so
Cal 480
Temp 77

wow that's cool. I have a guy at my lfs going to give me a few of his coco worms when i get my tank set up as well as some mushrooms. I love the sexy shrimp! Great colors and lots of movement. I am going to have to get a pair of those!
Done waiting!
Well I called the LFS that we have the credit at and they still don't have any fish in yet that we want and I'm done waiting. We are going to one of the other stores that we get supply and stuff from to get some more live rock, salt and what ever else we need for the tanks so i think we are going to see if they have some Watchman's and maybe some Blennies. I think we are going to try and get the LFS that we normally get our fish from to order us a pair of pocsoe clowns and use the credit for them. That way we can get the watchmen and the blenny in the tank first before the clowns. Now I just have to do some research on the names of the ones we want to get today. I always forget the names of the fish we want when we get to the store so I have to make a list. I will post some pics of what we get later on tonight.
Wish us luck!
Sean,

Sean,
Not sure what your "5 fish" card means.. if there is a price limit, etc, but just so you know, and are not shocked, a single Picasso around here goes for $100ea, a mated pair goes for $240. They are VERY expensive clowns. I just don't want you to get sticker shock walking into a LFS and they ask for a couple hundred on top of your 5 fish card you have.
I would still look for the watchman, blenny, or even a firefish if you want one before even thinking of the clowns. I know you were anyway.. but I do recommend the Picasso's over the others myself, and would like to see you save up for a few months if that is what it takes to get the Clowns you really want, instead of "settling" on the ones at the store, like I did with my Maroon clown.

Yes thank you for the spell check LOL.
Yes we know that they are costly that is one reason we wanted to wait. there going for around $160.00 a pair here. We saw a set at a store not to far from here when we were checking out some other store in the area.
