'FUGE IS BACK IN BIZ YO!

had to reinstall the 'fuge to keep the banished snails in the interim... need to frag the pom-poms + mushrooms soon. i never thought i'd be fraging stuff to post, but low and behold, i'm like fragging stuff left + right to maintain + ensure that our beautiful, lush, little nano-reef doesn't become overcrowded like king county penn. :P

UNHAPPY CLAM

CLAMS + NASSARIUS SNAILS DON'T MIX!

i bugged brad for a clam every day for months on end + finally got one last week! see all the white snail trail streaks? the nassarius snails were all over the clam the minute we put him in the tank + had themselves a crocea smorgasborg. posted the nassarius snails up on RF (along w/ the bumble bee snails) to ensure ube doesn't incur any more damage. hopefully he recovers. i'll be so incredibly pissed if he doesn't! grr! :/
