Tough Little SOBs


Well I finally got back on the horse and stopped feeling sorry for myself (after the freezing freshwater incident), cleaned the tank and sump, cleaned all the equipment, new sand and lifters and put the rocks back in.

Now most of the rocks were out in the air and a few were partially submerged in fresh water (not circulating or heated). I don't want to post pics b/c I am not ahappy with the rock work yet, I still want to fine tune it to make it more pleasing to the eye.

Anyway, point of the post, I am lookiing at the rocks and what do I see a apatsia anome on one of the lowest rocks. Not sure if it is alive ( plan to juice it this weekkend whiel my wife directs me), but COME ON!!! Everything else in the tank died and this little guy if he is alive is still there.

Maybe I should spare him because he survived the philacost....nay, he's getting juiced.
