And then there is 'Crash' guarding his domain....! :P

We named our blood shrimp, "Stanford" (get it, cardinal and white?). My father in law is a Stanford graduate. My mother in law is a Stanford graduate. My son's Godfather AND Godmother are Stanford graduates. To top it off, my wife is a Stanford graduate. OH THE HUMANITY!!!!! All of a sudden I feel as if I am in the middle of a Twighlight Zone episode where everyone around me is a STANFORD GRADUATE! I THOUGHT IT WAS HARD TO GET INTO THAT SCHOOL!!!!! Okay....I have calmed down now.... :p

Again, great additions to your tank.

nice stuff ;) everything looks awesome!

[Daniel]

hahha, u know it's only the best when it comes out of ur own tank, already cherry picked and already healthy.

i just hope everything stays the same color!! 2x400w -> 1x150w is a big change... lets hope my measly 150w can put up the fight and keep the colors vibrant as when they were in ur tank :cool:

thanks again will, u basically re-stocked 33% of my tank

RA: haha, stanford eh? i'm happy w/UCSD -_-'' thanks for the compliments!

[singlefintj]

seriously will single handedly brought my tank from plain to pimped out! i really need a freakin camera though.

[Daniel]

haha, if only i had more space -_-

i should've cleaned out his entire tank for him...

here are some pix of a few of acan lords...
