my first coral!

[fishbait]

this coral is amazing to watch. he has came to life soo much since i brought him home. the pic was taken only a few hours after i brought him home. the lfs i bought him from only had 90 watts of light in his 55 gallon display tank. the poor thing was closed up and not very active when i bought him. it took a couple hours before he opened up. after 3 or 4 days he was extended at least three times the size of when i bought him. now it's been nearly a week and he's actually pulsing. not really fast like some others i have seen. but still very beutiful. probally not very exciting to you guys since you have had corals for a while. but it's kept me quite amuzed. just adding to my addiction that much more.

Trust me,,It only gets worse,the more you get into it,the worse it gets.Kinda like crack or something.

 

[Bifferwine]

I know the feeling Fish. I go to the LFS thinking I'm just going to get one small thing and walk out with over 100 bucks worth of stuff every time. I went to "just look" and ended up getting my first corals LOL. I would join a 12 step program but I'm afraid they would make me give up my tank.

yep, or make you switch to a 5 gallon freshwater. with pink gravel and fake plants. sporting a 20 watt incandescent blue lightbulb......with guppies!

Hmmm that sounds a lot like my very first fish tank when I was a kid...ummmm more than a few years ago....Nope not going to cut it for me.

I think I will blame this addiction on my mother for letting me win a goldfish with the ping pongs at the fair LOL.

 

[yote]

All im gonna say is thank God for over time,I really need to stop going into work early so I can get off before my LFS closes.
