I actually only used 1/2" pvc, although if I were doing something on a grander scale like yourself I would probably go with a girthier pvc.....I do indeed have small holes drilled every couple inches to avoid any stagnant pockets (the holes also make for good attachment points)


who said I know what Im doing?:mrgreen:.....heres a shot of that millie (among others)

Ah tank photos; the highlight of my mornings. Post more Doug, MORE!

What a cutie! (TSB)

Crazy how his reflection looks yellow wonder why? Are those all new corals in that post Doug? I really love the assortment might have to sneak over with the surgical bone crushers or something...

Grab your wife's undies by mistake after your shower this morning Brett?

There's a few places I *could* run with that but instead... howzabout 'no'?

HA!


Doug all these photos and still no FTS? Get on it buddy

oh snap, i was wondering where that purple polyp monti went

MUCK FOR THE WIN!!!!

Please tell me you are not cereal. :wink:

:lol: That's his yellow assessor swimming beside TSB

More photos Doug! I'm living vicariously through your SPS while I wait until I can add more of my own.

Your not gonna let him get away with that are you Brett?:razz:.. no nothing really new in that last set o pics....I've been holding off on posting about some newbies until either A) Im sure their gonna make it....and 2) waiting for them to look somewhat presentable to the general populous .....surgical bone crushers may be a titch clumsy.....all I really have atm is frags, you might need a laser cutter and a microscope to nub of some bits:wink:.....

I could always bring over the de-nubber.

I know I know.....waitin til my next w/c(due soon) and the glass is tip top

muah ah ah:twised: got get em while they are there:wink:

there is definitely something about the way you tell/ask me for more pics Catherine......I like it!:wink: who could get enough of Girlys askin for more, MORE:twised: (pics to come, gotta respond to the other Girly first)

ah man!.....You let the cat outta the bag Laurie!.....that was privileged information!.....you should be disciplined!.....assume the position!:twised:

so ya as Girly said I added a yellow assessor a while back.....teeny tiny little thing about 1 1/2" long.....love this little fish....way more out in the open than the blue assessor in the small tank....and this is with the yellow in with three big to him, fast moving tangs.....the blue in the small tank is afraid of his own reflection!:lol:

Glad to see things bounced back Doug...tank looks fantastic...again.

Looking good Doug! I'm really liking the 'scaping. I probably read it a few pages back but can't remember: Is all this rock from the other tank? Some new stuff?There's some very nice pieces there.

Hey thanks Cash:biggrin:

Thanks Lance....pretty much all of the rock that was in V1 is still in the system....if I didnt use it in the display it now lives in the sump.....there are a few new pieces that I scooped from work and used in the display....thats one of the benefits of working where I do....I can usually spend a few minutes shuffling through the new live rock shipments....one piece I took home for the re-scape is really cool....it is a near perfect figure of eight, about three inches thick and completely flat....its in the center of the tank atm, trying to become overrun with zoas......I think there is probably 100#s or so in the display and probably another 100#s of some pretty kick arse rock in the sump:mrgreen:

you can see the hunk o rock Im talking about in the 4th pic down, very bottom rock in the "terrace"....you can sortta see the dark shadows where the voids that create the "eight are.....

This sequence of pics is left to right, looking at the tank...

love the rock scape, lots of crevices ...now time for some sun corals and non-phytos corals =)

That is a nice piece of rock. I bet the fish like swimming through the holes.

I do love how the sun coral/dendros look and I do have lots of shady areas, but......there is one thing about them.....they are rather high maintenance(you know....like some girlfriends).....I have a hard time sometimes remembering to feed the fish.....let alone spot feeding each head with a piece of mysis:redface:

redric *said in a little kid from the shining type voice*

http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o...2/IMGP4752.jpg

I see you bought into those blue and orange yumas as well lol

thats true...high maintance but its gonna preeeeeetttyyyy coollllll...( if you compare them to high maintance girlfriends...then dont even bother haha)

hey......what can I say......I like rics:biggrin:.......probably the only shrooms (aside from the orange tongan rhodactis that I have) that will make it back into V2(or the little tank if they decide they dont like the big tank:wink:)

ok....I'll admit......I'm lazy:mrgreen:.......do love the way they look though..........the sun coral family I mean.....(mind you....love the way the g/f looks too:biggrin:)*whew.....good save Doug:mrgreen:*

oh I hear you. The second I saw them I needed at least one.

Have you considered blastos again? or will that be in the small tank again

The last surviving coral from the crash is my red and green blasto (there is literally a nub or two of flesh that is hanging on for dear life)....it is in the small tank and I would also like to replace the all red one I lost....

Looking good! Love the scape, wish I had more talent in aquascaping other than just piling the rocks up and hoping they look ok and don't fall over :p
