Stunning as usual. I couldn't help but notice that sweet as frag chaetoTrough on bricks lol. I love it!

The tank is looking great Levi.

I need to lower my Bioload, this stuff is so thick it maintains its blockness even out of water. Thanks Brett!

Thanks Jay! That SPS tank you have is really coming along, craftsmanship on that 1 piece Euro is stunning as always!

Thanks Levi, when you thin out your cheato let me know. could always use a little more.

Tanks are looking great Levi.... Nice and clean.

Few new additions
 

Few new additions to the tank, bought 2 new SPS colonies and then bleached them by letting them sit out of the tank to long (Didn't mix my cement correctly :neutral:).

New Potters:

A certain person who wishes not to be named was kind enough to drop off a mini colony of purple death paly's. They opened up within like 5 mins of being in the tank, I'm stunned! Couldn't be happier , BIG THANKS!!!

your potters is awesome. best fish ever

Nice Potter's, it would be my choice if I had the room.

I had been eying the little guy for some time now, after reading Marie's build I finally made the jump. He got in a little scuffle with my 2 spot bristle tooth tang to start with but has joined the rest of the crew very well. Even swims around with the coral beauty, which I never thought would happen.

Couple new photos (Actinics and right after I fed), have been pretty busy with school so the tank has been neglected :neutral:.

The zoa tank has been getting some annoying macro algae that grows in-between the polyps and my attemps of a clean up crew have been thwarted by some still unseen pistol/mantis. I don't want to get a tang, anyone have any ideas? Also If anyone is need of some cheato shoot me a PM I have an over abundance of this stuff.

Sweet as always!

still love the way that zoa tank looks......kinda like a technicolour lava flow:biggrin:

Thank you! I will snap some more photos tonight, might even grab the underwater case.

Thanks Doug, it's much better is person my camera tends to wash out most of the color. Odd that you said that though I had a buddy over last night and he used those EXACT same words to describe it :lol:.

how long have you had that CB for? that tank is fantastic...both are really.

Thanks, everything is coming back from my idiot cause crash quite nicely. The copperband has been in there for about 2 months, eats brine and asptasia regularly. Couldn't ask for a better one, he hasn't touched the zoas or the clams at all.

nice. I had one in the 90 for a couple months...far as I know my uncle still has him (I sold him the entire setup)....thinking about one for the 75 but don't know. More than likely we'll just go with more small fish than any medium-large ones....except the yellow eyed Kole...have to have it

They are a great looking fish and I understand why they call them butterfly fish now! When they feed they stick there arse right out in the air, looks like a fancy underwater butterfly.

Looks great Levi but i think your almost out of room in that zoa tank.

Guess I will have to buy another 180g, that will be coming out of the student loan :neutral:.

Updates
 

Have been pretty busy with a full class load so the tank has kind of gone on hiatus. Added a few new things and removed a few things.

ORA Red Planet, Thanks to Laurier!

Picked up a large Onyx Clown Female today, I have had a pair of males for almost 3 years now that have never undergone any sexual change (No egg laying or courtship). Oddly enough all three have been hosting in my Red Goniopora, she got instantly accepted amd hasn't left either of there sides.

No problem dude, that picture is awsome!!!

damn, makes me want to bring a frag home for the BC every time I see a new picture.

Biocubes always brownorized my SPS :neutral:.
Yes Brownorized is a word...

Went a little photo crazy on this one, bought a few new colonies and had some unfortunate die off on some nicer ones (Lost over half of my Candy Apple Greens :sad:).

Wow man... thats really all that can be said

:thumb::thumb::thumb:

I must say you know how to take some great pic's of those zoa's... very nice, very very nice!!!

Thanks guys, just purchase Adobe PE so these are a few of my first edited photos. Contrast might be a bit wonky but the colors are pretty accurate to the real thing. A good underwater camera does wonders when it comes to zoas!
Levi

ya, wow, those underwater pics are awesome! I need to set up a zoa tank. Mind you, I also need more zoas.

*Coff* Red Coral *Coff* *Coff*

or.. *Coff* ZoaElite *coff* *coff*

Exactly what I was thinking. At any rate I need to see these tanks in person. If you're keeping track I totally AM inviting myself over!

That is an amazing collection of zoas and palys!

Haha, I do owe you a couple frags and still have to drop off that fish trap. Problems is when I make frags then I have everyone hounding me for them :neutral:. It's easy with the colored sticks, just break off a piece and your good to go, zoas are a whole different story unfortunately.

Agghh I owe you frags also, I need to stop promising stuff to people haha. Invite away buddy, once my mid terms are done you are more than welcome to swing on by.
Thanks Chris good to see another avid collector likes the collection.
Levi

Seeing all them zoanthids makes me miss my old 20g zoanthid tank. I totally understand about the fragging. I remember having these really nice reds that SOMEONE asked me to frag and I tried doing so and my hand slipped and one got nicked and the whole colony ended up crashing. Good thing I don't remember who that person was, or even if I did, I'd surely bear no malice. LEVI! Oops, I mean .. good thing I don't remember who that was. Did I mention I miss my old zoanthid tank? I might have to set one up just for zoanthids again someday.

In that case I blame you for my frag melting...

Just so happens to be really delayed as it grew into a wonderful colony and then melted 5 months later :sad:. I did frag a piece and give it to Snappy, don't know if he stills has it.

Haha Tony if I ever stumble across more of the Bam Bam's I will make sure to snip a piece off for you. Ironically your little zoa tank is one of the reasons I really got addicted to zoas, so much color and not to mention those 2 flame dwarfs were pretty snazzy. If you do decide to set up a little one shoot me a PM and I will sneak some frags on over to you.
Levi

Sounds like your already having issues. :D

Hahaha, no worries man. It just figures that the really nice ones would go and do something like that.

Everything is looking awesome man.
