A heavy weight


On Tuesday Abel went to the Doctor for his 4 month check up. Our little guy is quite happy and healthy. He weighs 16lb 15oz and is 25.9in long both of these put him in the 75%. He also got 4 shots, which he wasn't too happy about. We continue to enjoy our sweet little man. He is talking laughing and smiling more and more. i have a fun video of his "talking" that i will try to post soon. Praise God for healthy baby.

Tank Update


So, it's been a while since I've posted a tank update. A lot has changed since last time. My tank seems to excel at growing Xenia and Macro Algae. I think this is a sign that I have crappy water. My tank also excels at growing what I consider to be a pest...Vermetid Snails. I do enjoy my tank. It probably needs better lighting a more dispursed flow, but oh well. Here it is. So far I have 3 types of Acropora, some Montipora, some Green star polyps, a ricordia, a trumpet coral, some zoanthids, and some Xenia. I also got a mushroom and some kind of monti in some sand from a friend.
The following pics are just of the pests, the vermetid snails. They aren't like normal snails that crawl around. The fasten themselves to surfaces then create spiraling tubes.
