Turkish Defacers Ab1i HACKED

So my first attempt at aquascaping my reef tank was a failure. It looked like crap and after a year of looking at it, I decided to re-scape it. In the past I tried to stack all my rock in the middle of the tank so that the fish could swim around it. This time I changed it up a bit. Instead of trying to "strategically" place the rock I did it a more humane way. I took all the rock out, breifly, then I THREW IT ALL BACK IN! I just tossed it all in the center of the tank to the back of the glass. I seriously couln't tell where I was putting my rock because of the cloudiness of the water after taking the rock out. And in my opinion it looks WAY better.

Here are some picture. I'm currently running just my two 175w Metal halides with no t-12 supplementation.

I have been searching for this story for about a week now because I thought is was very interesting. I actually heard of this from my good ole buddy Steven Colbert from the Colbert Report. When I saw it I thought it was a hoax.

"Ever since the "barreleye" fish Macropinna microstoma was first described in 1939, marine biologists have known that it's tubular eyes are very good at collecting light," said a spokesperson.

I figured that this 2 day old story would be perfect for Friday the 13th. Now I'm going to drink some beer and take it easy.

While he may not vant to suck your blood, the male fish seen above does sport spooky-looking fangs that have earned it the name Danionella dracula.

Researchers at London's Natural History Museum found several of the new species (bottom) in a tank of aquarium fish. Initially museum staff had thought the 0.7-inch-long (1.7-centimeter-long) creatures, caught in Myanmar (Burma), were part of an already known, related species.

"After a year or so in captivity, they started dying," museum scientist Ralf Britz told BBC News.

"When I preserved them and looked at them under the microscope, I thought, my God, what is this, they can't be teeth."

In fact, the fangs are not true teeth—the line of fish that gave rise to D. dracula is thought to have lost teeth around 50 million years ago.

Browsing the web today I came accross this week old story about the pink freshwater bottlenoze Dolphin. I had no Idea that these exhisted. I guess you learn something new every other day right?

It's sleek, fast, cute — and pink.

A charter-boat captain from Lake Charles, La., photographed a rare pink dolphin a couple of weeks ago in Calcasieu Lake, an estuary just north of the Gulf of Mexico in southwestern Louisiana.

According to Calcasieu Charter Service's Web site, Capt. Erik Rue was on the lake June 24 with fishing customers when five dolphins came into view — four normal-looking gray ones, and a bright pink one that appeared to be an adolescent.

"It appears to be an uncanny freak of nature, an albino dolphin, with reddish eyes and glossy pink skin," the Web site reads. "It is small in comparison to the others it is traveling with and appears to be a youngster traveling with mama."

There is a species of pink dolphin that lives in the Amazon River in South America, but this one appears to be a more common bottlenose dolphin

Well I allready have some baby peppermint shrimp swimming around in my sump and now I have TWO more prego's in my display tank. I'm wondering if I should put the pregnant shrimp in my fuge with my Cheato. This has never happened to me before so I'm not really sure as of what I should do.

Here are a couple of pic of my prego's:

So ever since I added 3 peppermint shrimp to my tank I kinda stopped paying attention to my Aiptasia problem. Remember the Lemon Juice Experiment I tried? Well that little experiment didnt work out as I had pictured it would in my head. Niether did the Boiling water technique.

Since nothing was working thus far, I decided to listen to the advice of Stony from StonyReef.Com and throw some peppermint shrimp in there. Now I am proud to say that there is NOT ONE SINGLE AIPTASIA in my display tank, well from what I can see.

Peppermint shrimp is deffinately the way to go out of the three that I tried.

Here is a general break down of each experiment/test:

Boiling Water
I boiled water in a pot on the stove and used a syringe to inject into the anemone. But I notice after a few days the anemone was back in full force. I killed only 1 of approximately 5 using this method.

Lemon Juice
I used concentrated lemon juice with a metal syringe. I injected approximately 3-5ml into the base of the anemone throught the mouth. I had about a 50% success rate using this method.

Peppermint Shrimp
They basically just kicked some Aiptasia Ass. All Aiptasia gone within 1 week.

I think I'm going to do one better than this guy. Like smuggle a sea cow out of the local state aquarium and throw it in my aquarium.

A 30-year-old New York man is being charged with grand and petit larceny for crimes he committed during the last two months. The grand larceny charge is for stealing a shark and the petit larceny is for swiping a moray eel.

Police said that the man, who was not identified, had managed to get a shark out of a pet-store aquarium and smuggle it out of the shop under his jacket. The article did not explain how he did either of those things without being noticed, or why he is wasting his obvious talent on stealing sea creatures rather than doing something constructive with it, like stealing money and then buying sea creatures. This is also likely to be much safer because money is not going to try to eat you.

Police said that the shark was found in an aquarium at the man's home, along with a green moray eel he had purchased with a stolen credit card on January 2. It was not clear whether they had tracked him down because of the credit card or just followed a trail of wet footprints.

Frankly, I was hoping he had tried to smuggle the moray eel out by stuffing it down his pant leg, but no such luck. Either this guy is aware that a moray eel is a vicious creature that should not be let into your pants for even a second, or he's very, very lucky.

I don't know how many times I have needed to buy something for my tank, but in order to get a good price I'd need to surf around. Wouldn't it just be easier to go to one site and get a price comparison on one item from several sites?

The Reef Tank just launched their own comparison site. With over 1,100 items to chose from it will be hard not to find the right toy, tool, or gadget you need for your aquarium.

So my town is under water right now and my house is blocked off from the rest of civilization. I cant get to my tank because I was at work when the river dike broke. My tank desperately needs a water top-off by now especially to get the sump return circulating warm water to the display tank. Its been 2 days since I've been able to get home and I'm pretty sure my tank inhabitants is dead by now. Man this sucks. Its frustrating as hell trying to get home but knowing right now you cant. News said I may be able to get home tonight so I'll try again. hopefully everything in the tank is doing alright.

Here is a video of Chehalis WA. Youll be able to see that some businesses are under 5-6 feet of water. And the day after this video was taken. THings got way worse.

UPDATE:
Finally got home! One fish dead, but the rest of the tank looks alright. Its times like this that I wish I had an automatic topoff.
