Ah, I didn't have to hang myself after all - miraculously, oddly, and surprisingly, I managed to complete today's work. Considering I whiled much of the afternoon away, it means I can afford to increase the workload even more. As to how much actually stays in - that's another matter altogether. I'm convinced I suffer from the Leaky Brain Syndrome.
Managed to give myself a little treat today (thanks for the idea, Monty - although I'm not sure I totally deserved the treat, lol!) by going on a shopping spree, and doing an impromptou rearrangement of the tank's rockwork. The final result? The hidden gems in my tank! Goodness. All of a sudden I'm vividly reminded of Prof. Low CH's famous pronouncement of "flowers in the desert and corals in the sea" (what an adorable man, I'm praying real hard I do get him for my surgical finals). There was a bunch of red Discosoma mushroom corals hidden away right at the back of the tank; I brought these forward to form an archway that I was so totally satisfied with. See if you concur with me!
Blue-cheek trigger and Henniochus butterfly checking out the new mushroom archway.
Bought this bright yellow Montipora digitata at a steal today.
And the final look of the tank:
Shrunken skeleton at the top of the left-sided rock formation is an Euphyllia ancora that is also a new addition, and has not opened fully yet.
Going to change the right-sided light to a 250W Radium bulb after the exams, I guess. And waiting on finding some decent orange tree sponge, re-trying a blue sponge (bloody idiots keep dying on me) and - if the M.digitata does well in the tank - I'm going to get me one of those bright pink Seriatopora hystrix as a treat. Other planned additions for the future:
Red sea pulsing Xenia (not the horrid brown ones I used to have, YX. These are white!)
Cynarina coral - maybe a red one, if I can afford it
Green star polyps
Blue discosoma mushrooms
And, after I get my old calcium reactor back up and running, maybe a clam or two.
