Caught the bristle worm venturing out the other night, investigating the new zoos I glued to some rock. It's weird, first inch or so is red, then the rest(that I've seen) is a black/purplish color.

Awesome! Thats great. Your tank had came out very good! I see your torch (I think its called that) isnt really showing much life right now. How is it doing?

Thanks. Yes, it's a torch. I pissed it off the other day while messing with the tank. It was also getting too much flow for a while. I adjusted the powerhead and it started coming out again more. I think it's a short tentacle one(if there is such a thing?), so it doesn't get super long.

Itll come back. I noticed in the beginning when you got it, it had opened more. I may try my luck with a 10g salt cube

The torch is actually doing well, it's the candy cane that is in shambles... I knew from the start i really wanted a torch and its definitely my favorite so far! I love watching it sway in the gentle flow. It's like it hypnotizes me... :lol: Go for it! I'm addicted to salt now! It's really fun!

I find myself asking that question all the time! :lol: Luckily, I already had the tank and light, so it didn't cost me too much.

Crap ypu beat me. I pay all that minis a mortgage. Only house insurance
 
I don't have any crazy bills, but I live in a 1 bedroom apartment and my electric bill skyrocketed from $75 to $285. Our electric company added a bunch of fees to every month, so this is what we have to look forward to.

I have a dog that weighs 50 and she doesnt even like to go outside
 
Haha. My dog is a serious princess. He (yes, he) wants to be outside when he wants to be outside. But he wants to be inside when he wants. And only when he wants. Lol. I he's active and naps all the time too. I guess he's just a little weirdo.
