October already?...

               I feel like changing things up a bit. So, It's October already!! Time is sure flying. I can't believe how fast the year has gone. 2 more months after this and we are going to find ourselves in the dreaded year 2012. *Scarey ghost noise* Who ever came up with the world ending next year, and those that believe whomever it was that started this, really needs to see a doctor and get their reality checked. Just because the Mayans predicted Noah's flood and other worldly disasters does not mean this one will be ever more true. Get a grip. :D


          Rabbit trail!! I am helping my landscaping classes set up a plant booth area type dealio this afternoon at the state fair. Should be plenty exciting! I'll let ya'll know how it goes, and I'll be posting pictures!
                            Another rabbit trail. I have this 20 gallon fish tank that I acquired several months back. As the name implies, I had fish. :D But I am now bored with freshwater fish. All that they do is swim back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, and maybe back again, if not further forth. So, I am in the middle of a new project with said tank. SALT WATER!! Gonna try that out and see how it goes. I'm really rather excited. More-so than I was with the guppies. (I hate guppies).

Blue Mandarin Fish

 

Purple Firefish

          That little fish is one that I will hopefully be able to keep alive in my tank. He is a cute little bugger, but I've heard they are bloody difficult to keep alive. Wish me luck though!

Christmas tree worms

Zoanthids

            


          Hopefully the firefish  too I will be successful with. Only time will tell. So far my tank is cycling, and I have nearly 6 more weeks of waiting before I can even begin to think about putting a fish in. I also need to set up a refugium to grow brine shrimp in for my little fishies. At least I will have something to do to keep me occupied for the next couple of days, maybe. Another thing that I am going to have to look into is a new light fixture so I can have soft coral in my tank.


             Those there are the soft corals that I will probably be looking into. As for the christmas tree worms, I still have to look into the up keep but with the help of two of my friends who also deal with salt water, I will be able to figure something out :) Everything is still in the early planning stages, so anything can happen. For the time being, I will just continue to set up the live rock for my tank (helps establish the tank for the little fish), and create the refugium for my feeder shrimp, which are the tiniest things you could ever see!!

              Anyways, That is about it for this post. Ya'll have a good one!!
