P have never had any trouble catching these darned things, TILL NOW! How did you catch yours Amy and Kevin? Since you told us about them doing it, #1 I feel better that it isn't anything I'm doing that is causing the monti and some acro problem, #2 I see him nipping nonstop on them now. Must catch the little villain.
Scott our clown and chromis flip over that food, thanks again.

Well I sank two Dr Pepper bottles in the tank overnight filled with meaty food and he investigated near it before we went to bed. I really expected him to be in there this morning....

Well we got up and the things were empty. My eyes were barely open but Amy could see that he was in a barnacle. She quickly stuck her hand in the tank and he went deeper in the shell. She immediately threw him in the tank. Hours later the Monti's are already looking better, no kidding here.

The barnacle thing is how I have aways caught the little devils, but they are on to me now. Better luck tomarrow.

I've got some small fish hooks.

Dump one of those Lion fish in there for a few days and don't feed him. Sure you'll lose all your shrimp, but that little pest will be gone! Then you can catch him with Jason's fishhook!

It's just my opinion, but I think you need the refugium setup ASAP. Nitrates over 5-10 will cause many acro and monti corals to die. Of course a little demon fish can have the same affect.

Thanks Billy and Karen for hosting. We had a great time. Love the tanks. Did we miss the hurling contest? Maybe we'll catch it next time.

Main thanks to Shawn for the commentary on needles on the front porch. That was seriously the funniest thing I have heard since the last meeting you were drinking at .

AH UM I kinda missed about 1/2 hour there, Was still looking for my drink I set down, (Clearing my throat) By the time I got to the porch I couldn't stop laughing at Andy scoping out my bushes. Could I by chance hear that needles one at the next meeting?

I also must have missed the thing about needles. I may have heard it, but I don't remember some of the things that were going on past 10:00pm (or so). Crissie has been reminding me of the things that I did, and some of the things I remember and others I can't. I have learned this from Saturday night. When you are drunk no one is deaf, you don't have to scream at everyone.

Sorry karen and Billy my wife had plans for me hope every thing
went well.Was there a good turn out? As far as the bi blemmys
Im a player I love those little guys(there cool)

What's wrong with bi-color blenny's? I've had one in my tank for a long time now....and we've had Super Fred for a couple years now

Enjoyed the meeting!

Karen it was so nice to meet you. The Reef tanks are just Beautiful. Was good to get out and meet all of you. Sure was a nice group to show up.
Thank you for opening your home to all of us. Will see you at the next meeting. Have a great week. Joy Giacchina
