And holy crud, that picture of the spotted mandarin is fantastic! And it is BEAUTIFUL! Wow!

Good luck with the clown paring! Do you have another onyx for your current one?

Cheers,

Chris

Thanks :mrgreen:

Nope, not an Onyx, something verrry special :biggrin:

Little bit of Snow =)
 
I got a little bit of snow for Christmas:mrgreen:. My husband is the best :kiss:. Here's my new pride and joy:love:.......

Thank you so much Ken(Blue World) for going the extra mile for me to bring him in:hug:!!!! Now I'm hoping that this guy and my Onyx will pair up.

I also brought home a red head goby but he disappeared in to the rock before getting a pic.

BlueWorldAquatic 12-27-2009 03:06 AM

Glad we can help Dawn.

You should ask the staff how upset I was when we had to wait when UPS screwed up.

As far as we know, you have 1 of 5 in alberta, as ORA hasn't shipped any snowflakes in awhile.

Ken - BWA

Loving this tank and inhabitants and love the ORA Snowflake!

Zoaelite 10-26-2010 08:00 PM

Designer clowns are addicting, I already want to go out and purchase more of them! Tanks looking wicked, I think we need an updated FTS.

noirsphynx 10-26-2010 08:14 PM

Thanks. I LOOOVE my snowflake!! I know, I haven't updated in a super long time. Tank doesn't look so nice right now. I've removed some rock, taken out the sand bed(which will get replaced), added things, sold things, had things die :neutral:. I've been pretty slack at keeping the tank looking nice so sorry guys but no new FTS for now.

jphong 10-26-2010 10:21 PM

Your zoa collection is looking great as well! How is your fuge setup? Looks like a frag section and some sort of separate section on the right where the return is?

There is a frag rack on the left which is also where my equipment and the return are located.

noirsphynx 01-08-2011 09:15 PM

Looooonnnnng time no update so here's a little one with lots of pics. I've taken out all the old sand, added new stuff, taken out all the old live rock which was covered in various algae and added new stuff. The tank is still not looking the way I want but for now I'll settle with it. I sold the other cube that I was going to set up and am now setting up a standard 20g that I had laying around. The 20g will be home to my two newest darlings, Yin & Yang the Spotcinctus clowns :mrgreen: I fell in love as soon as I laid eyes on them and just HAD to have them so I used some of the money I had saved which was destined for a red carpet anemone :neutral:. So anyways, here's some pics.
Temporary holding quarters until the 20g is ready.

Thanks Denny. So happy to finally have a happy healthy war paint. This is my third guy, the first two would not eat no matter what I tried :cry:. This guy happily and eagerly eats cyclopeeze. The baby clowns are my new loves :love:. No ID yet but I'm determined to find out :smile:. If I figure it out I'll let you know. Do you remember the day you came in to the store and I showed you those light pnik & green zoas that I liked, well I bought some and they coloured up to be the ones in pic #3 which I'm pretty sure are Pink Elephant Paly's :mrgreen:
PS - PM coming your way probably next week regarding zoas :biggrin:

Skimmerking 01-09-2011 04:02 AM

Mmmmmmm, Deltec, mmmmmm, drool. I want a Deltec too.
Cubes are awesome IMO and now I'm kicking myself for selling my other cube but I think a 20g will fit better in my living room.

Skimmerking 01-09-2011 04:09 AM

I need to see your cube too when I come up.... MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM DELTEC :mrgreen:

My cube is no show piece at the moment but if Laurie wants to come visit with you she's more than welcome but I live 20 mins. north of the city :neutral: Only a small handful of Canreefer's have seen my cube due to me living outside the city.

page 2 left hand side about half way down.....in the pic they have, the skirts show up with a bit of a green tinge(not pink like yours, but that could just be lighting or camera setting differences????)

They're similar but not quite the same. I think the deep space also have green mouths too, mine are white.

Awesome tank shot! Really like those yin/yang clowns :) How long did it take to take the shot of them touching tails?

Thanks Wayne. It didn't take too long actually, it was a fluke of a shot. I just wish it was a little clearer.

noirsphynx 01-16-2011 07:41 PM
