Ok I'm not quoting those last pics because, well they're right above this one but DANG! That is one GORGEOUS coral! I WANT!! :mrgreen: Great shots too!

Tank Party it is!!
Laurie, I'll be saving those Apricotty beer just for you!!

Boy, if you ever have any mishap moving the corals, and a few accidentally just happen to frag off, call me first, I'd be buying some off you to help off-set some moving cost.
...maybe just a little,,,but everything helps!

Yeah, the Greens were nice enough to help pick out a few for me, since I NEVER get to go anywhere, they feel sorry for me, LOL.

Very nice granulosa Doug. Reminds me of the one I used to have.
Anyway your tank & corals look GREAT!

Wow Doug....I just checked out your tank vids.....absolutely stunning man http://smileys.on-my-web.com/reposit...oticon-032.gif

I have a question about your lights.....your running 12x36" T5's...what bulbs and configuration are you running? and are your Tek fixtures stock or did you do a fan mod of some sort?

you guys are too funny:lol:......I remember when this came up at 1000:biggrin:

Thanks ladies and gentleman......Im super happy with how its done....."Granny" has quickly become one of my favs

You just checked out my vids!???:razz:.......j/k, thanks man.....I wish the tank still looked like it did in the videos.....the second video still chokes me up a bit when I watch it

Perdy corals :biggrin:

Corals are looking awesome Doug. Now I need to find myself a piece of they granulosa...

What happened? did you have some corals RTN? all your corals look beautiful and healthy.

I got this one for you Doug,

It was a major tank crash when he had to move. absolutly devastating his tank but look at him go now. :thumb:

Look great Dougster. Remember you can always drop off some of your zoas here for me to care for on your way by :lol:

thanks babydoll:biggrin:


thanks a tonne Sean......Wes said in another thread that one of the LFSs in E-town had some granny frags......I could see if they still have a couple and snag one for you..... and Brett of course.....:wink:

ya Grizz pretty much summed it up.......lost EVERYTHING!.....filled a large coleman extreme cooler nearly half full of dead stuff......was my darkest few days in this hobby......would have shut it all down, if it werent for a couple reef Girlys......... Laurie and Carmen talked me into continuing on in the hobby and Im gald they did.... V2, is a almost a year and a half old now and starting to hit its stride.......just in time for me to tear it down to move to E-town:neutral:.......oh well maybe some day it will FTOTM material again:mrgreen:

No problem. AI did have granny frags and Wes bought them.

oh.....they were at AI???.....never mind then:mrgreen:

Granny frags :lol: "Here dearie, I knitted you a sweater and some frag plugs"

Hey Doug,
You were not kidding about those frags that the Greens got for me!
Do you have a name for those?
Can I hijack and ask you to give me a few tips as to keeping these so awesomely light-colored??
I have 250W MH, and have been able to consistently turning them light brown in the past:redface:. So would they need less light?? Or is it my nutrient load that I have to watch??
Thanks, Lenny.

:lol:.....perhaps I shouldnt have called them that.......it would kinda be weird to hear someone say that I have one hot granny.......*shudders*

there is soooo much sweet stuff at the shop atm...... as for the IDs........the blueish girthy one is a humilis......the other two I have absolutely no idea:biggrin:......ummmmm.....acropora sureisgonnabenicewhenitgetsbigus:mrgreen:

jack away..........well.....to be honest, the humilis and mini colony will get darker then what they are now.....the humils will likely be a teal to med blue....may develop green tips......the mini colony should be a deep purple with bright green polyps......Im not positive about the other one....I took home one of the light colored ones too and I think maybe the branches will be a light to medium cream color with purple tips.......as far as keeping them light colored.....you could always run Zeo......that will give you those light pastely colors......how soon in your tanks life did you try sps?.....I cant remember now if you had any leathers or not???




and just cuz its the way I roll:cool:.....a couple more pics

i gave my 'pearlberry' a scolding and mentioned how well yours was doing - I'm actually seeing it start to bud and colour up now! Might have been the fact that I did my very first water-change tonight (was running the original 'cycle' water until now).

And I never wanna read 'hot granny' again :neutral:

Ha ha, good name as any!
No leathers in DT. LOTS of fish, though.
Hopefully third times the charm and they'll stay pastely-colored.

I run Bio-pellets, GFO, and carbon.
Someday when I get rich and famous, I'd like to try Prodi-Bio lines. Right now, I've already spent the 2012 budget....and Boxing Week is soon to be here...sigh.

*gasp!*.....scolding them usually just makes them pout:mrgreen:.....and duly noted


I know what you mean.....all those kick arse zoa frags in E-town and no disposable income right around Xmas time:neutral:.......


although I did pick these up:mrgreen:


space monsters

http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o...2/IMGP5970.jpg

and my baby picked up this meteor shower cyphestrea frag up for me for Xmas

http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o...2/IMGP5964.jpg




and heres a little taste of what fishytime's and fishoholic's house will likely look like:mrgreen:

http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o...2/IMGP5965.jpg

I was staring at those candy apples for a bit when suddenly I realized that was that psycho frogfish right below them! :surprise:

:lol: that's right the candy apples have their own personal guard fish :mrgreen:

Actually all those above pretty zoas are in my 10g froggy tank.

Damn I wish my gf would get me corals for christmas lol instead all I got were shoes and headphones lol, which are nice to but a meteor coral would of been nice lol. Can't seem to get her into the hobby lol

I had another pic that showed more of the frogfish but the zoas were a bit out of focus....


hope the combination of frogfish poop and no REAL skimmer will make them be happy and grow well.........as long as the frogie just guuards them and doesnt decide to sit on them too much


careful what you wish for Victor....or you might end up with a thousand gallons in your basement:mrgreen:

Lol highly doubt it, can't swim so wouldn't be able to clean it lol

Ya never know.....I have two 230g tanks, a 80g tank plumbed into a 90g sump and a 10g in my basement. Soon we'll be adding a 260g, 30g, a 100(ish)g sump which will put us around 1000g just in the basement. Not counting the 34g cube upstairs!

You crazy kids! 500 gallons each. Wait a minute, I have 500 gallons!
