The Blu Reef's Bad Fish

Coral Gardening

It's incredible how hardy corals are.
 They really do grow like wildflowers depending on the light,water flow and nutrients.

When I first got into this,it was all about the fish.
 Now I'm head over heels over sexy corals!

It's not easy being Blu

When people hear the term, "I'm blue" ,or it's a "blue Monday" they think of someone sad or alone,  just plan down.
Well for me when I hear Blue I think of things I love, like the ocean, the shine off a colbalt blue 64' Impala, or the some music I can sip a beer to while I puff on a cigar.  

Maybe it's because my favorite color is blue, or the fact I used to watch Cookie Monster tear up those cookies and he would make me crack up as a booger eating kid! LoL :D

What ever it is, the color blue is a part of my life and I embrace it.


                            Here are a few pictures from The Blu Reef at night under the black lights.

Gypsy Queens zoas and Payaso the Warpaint Goby

After two weeks Payaso decides to come out to chill in the open.

Always stealing the show.

You damn Goober!

By far the Orange spotted Goby is one of the most active and entertaining of the marine life that I have coexisting as "tank mates".

He starts off by popping his head out a tunnel he made by scooping sand and rocks by mouth,shifting sand thru his gills. What a site to see, everyday he's shuffling. Hahaha

Not only that but he tends to bite off more than he can chew,taking chunks of Algae too big to eat in one bite and having staire downs with the Blue Reef Queen,Candy formally known as CandyMan.

Goober the Goby has been a great addition to the BluReef ,and he even allows others to share his cave that he dug out at night.
The only thing negitive is that he will move corals if not bonded by epoxy or glue.

He thinks he owns the joint :)

Charlie Murphy in the house!

The Sky is Crying

A rainy day along the Texas Gulf Coast goes together with some Texas blues ,like salsa on a break fest taco..just ain't the same without it!

Here's one of the most famous Texas sons the world loves. HE could make his guitar talk and cry with the best of all time.

                                                                    RIP SRV!

Hamilton Loomis... The Gulf Coast Native son.

Something about Galveston that makes my insides get all excited like a kid at Toy's R Us. I don't know if it's that Gulf breeze on my skin or the sunshine on my neck, I'm at home on the beach with a surf rod in one hand ,and a cold beer in the other.                                                                        


                                                  Hamilton Loomis : Build Me a Castle

Hearing this jam reminds me of my many nights and days crusin down I-45 South with my fishing buddy Joe,a ice chest full of beer, four fishing poles ,bait bucket and my trusty cast net.

I'm looking forward to seeing Hamilton Loomis live one of these days, one of the great Blues artist from the Gulf Coast.

I come from the water...

Woke up this morning pheening for some sun,sand, and a Gulf Coast breeze.
The season is changing outside, the weeds are growing,the bugs are roaming, the trees and flowers are starting to bud,that only means one thing,It's almost fishing time.

I can't keep my hands out this aquarium! Feb 2 Rescaping

I can't seem to get my mushrooms to streach out due to increase water flow from my Hydor 425 powerhead.Placement has been the issue.I really want the Tonga Branch to be covered with Ricoshroons but its been hard to keep them in place.I might just need to bust out with the superglue!

I hope you enjoy the new pixs ,I'm starting to get the hang of this Salty Life and Blogging.

Update on Project Nani Flamingo Reef Tank

Leak test went great, held over 48 gallons. My buddy Rhet gave me a pump and I'm waiting on the Proclear Premium 75 wet dry filtration sysytem to be shipped.
On a side note, this project will now be placed on hold for a few months. :(
