A System Two-Fifty with the Yankees Logo engraved in it for me commemorating this year's World Series championship?

When does your show on HGTV start?

yes where is the FTS? Beautiful pics! jp

no pix!

I don't believe you.

Looks awesome Bob! I like the open space on the right side.

you rock Bob - pics from tonight: It looks like they are trying. I think that's the mouth in the lower left, working it's way up and in. jp

Yep! started last night and this morning I see it is almost centered. So I now have one clone looking great, front and center, and the parent and second clone behind the rocks thinking about things. Anchovies!?

st9z - Is that short for 'Saint Nines'? I can't figure out your nick. I didn't do anything with the intent that it would get the anem to split. I would give it one krill or else a fingernail sized hunk of silverside every couple of days. It just happened, I had nothing to do with it. SugarMag - if it's out where you can get a look at it you might have better luck after lights out, when it retracts so you can view the foot structure. Otherwise you'll just have to wait and see. Mine definately moved and I hope they all come back out in the open. jp

I'll tell you what's creepy - this thing has NO MOUTH!

I'm not really sure as to what happened, and I observed nothing out of norm the day before the split. It all happened in under a day's time. I could see that the flesh was torn and jagged where they were connected when it split the first one off, then the main part crawled back farther behind the rockwork and split again. I didn't see any of them being more or less inflated. Good luck with yours - keep us up on the progress. jp

welcome back you highroller - how were the blackjack tables? There are at least three, it's awesome. You set me up good Doug. As much as that urchin bugs me by eating the paint off my plumbing, I think I'm gonna keep him now - what a conversation piece with the zoas stuck to him.

looks great Toasti!

ditto everybody that said they couldn't believe how awesome this tank is. Can't wait to see you with triple the room. Can you list your equipment? jp

I hate that place but they have everything I need at really good prices and they're only 9 miles away. Wait - I think I love that place now.

get it at Home Dumpo or Lowes. Be very careful putting poly over white paint.

let's see . . . how many anems do you see in this picture?

sometimes you get on a bj table where people go INSANE if you don't follow those unwritten rules. Dealer's showing between 2-6, meaning he'll have to hit at least once, meaning a good chance of busting (I guess) so conventional wisdom says everybody stays with anything above 12 - I split my 8's to have two hands to go against that and they all went Jackie Chan on me. One lady was even waving her little cheat notes at me. It's kind of funny now. jp Here are some pics. It should be interesting to see where they go from here. I don't think the tomato likes it that they are tucked under the rocks for now. jp

No worries Douggie - Don't be afraid to split 8's if the dealer is showing five or less. I remember an entire table of Japanese yelling at me at once in Japanese when I did that in AC. I am glad you'll see your old BTA when you come get that homewrecker urchin. I might put it up for sale with a Monday deadline if you're not taking it for the school tank. It's eating my closed loop pipes!! jp

wife just said they are completely split and an inch apart. Will we be able to tell which is the parent and which is the clone? Do they fight or will they stay close together? jp

Well, the eagle eye zoas are still toast, but I come home last night and Mrs. JP says 'You better look at the RBTA'. I see it's crawled under the rock it has been perched on and just hope that psycho urchin hasn't chased it into a hole. Somehow it looks like it's covering more ground than usual laterally . . . Upon closer inspection I see . . . two feet and an obvious tear, still partially connected. Yee ha! The tomato was getting freaked out by us staring at it, so we left well enough alone for the night - I hope to get some good pictures this evening. Chip or others - any advice or husbandry I should be doing while we wait for it to heal? Fresh carbon, water change, suppliments I need to buy? Let's start a new set of thread with good surprises. jp

Looks really godo Bob! Just curious - when are you going to fill the tank all the way up?

I wonder if I could fetch a premium for it at auction, since it has about 20+ zoa polyps stuck to it.

this is getting to be more than coincidence now, with you, me, Steve and Dave all seeing stuff like this.
