In pic 17,18,19 and a couple of others the dark jar seems to have a damaged eye or is it just reflection?

Yes his eye is damaged. I got him back in November 2006 from a moron that had it kept in his 20 g tank that was way under filtered. Actually my wife's friends husband. Although he claim it was his son's (10 yr old), that jar was so messed up. Swimming on his side, both eyes clouded over and gasping for air. So me, the dope that I was took the jar from him, gave the kid 20 bucks. Well long story short, took me 2 months to get him back to health of sorts. Notice he's swimming straight up, cleared his cloudy eyes but his right eye never healed right. As far as I know, his right eye is blind which makes it hard for him to get food. So I usually drop food (SW's) in front of him, otherwise the other aro's will gulp it up.
Anyways that was what got me hooked back into the hobby. I posted some photos of him a while back and the update of his healing process.

Hmmm...old enough to know better, but young enough to mingle?
Actually I'm way past 40's..hey..I may be married and what not..,but I'm not dead. Nothing wrong with looking at hotties out there. Besides the avatar is a pix of jessica biel model shoot.
Retiring in a couple of yrs after working almost 30...so yeah..time to go.

Nothing special in the filtration system. It's just a old 55g turned into a w/d sump with the pumps pushing the return into a Ocean Clear 319 modular filter to help polish the water and lastly the other pump is pushing water into a DIY fluid bed filter to help out the BB load via a T' split of some sort.
That's the only filtration that I'm running for both tanks 240 and 125. I never cared for any HOB filters or canister types, since the tanks are drilled so it makes the plumbing neater with everything under the cabinets.
Nice that you saved him.Well done and congrats on gaining his health back.prophets;1247226; said:Yes his eye is damaged.
