I don't think that's a Rock flower anemone but who cares if it is not because it looks great. Here are a few pics of my Red Rock Flower anemones

Fridays work for me, have the day off unless I'm putting in extra time at school. Frags will be cut this month so you will have to stop by.

Those were just random photos, mine is the pure red one but ya they are pretty dope. Here are some new photos, really loving the Bros new camera (Especially the free factor buahaa :razz:).

FTS:
I picked up a giant green A.Tortusa for looking after someones tank for a month, really gives some contrast to the zoas but my dwarfs went strait after it. Guess I will have to live with it.

Random Coral Photos:
I can't seem to get the Red/Blue balance on this camera right yet so some of my reds seem a little more potent.

Thanks Ian, glad I can spread the addiction haha.

Big thanks to Reefwars (Denny) and fishytime (Doug) for cutting and transporting a frag of the nuclear greens down to me, have been looking for them for years now.

The Grizz 01-30-2011 03:50 AM

Hey Levi, have started the fragging process yet?:biggrin:

Delphinus 01-30-2011 03:59 AM

Acanthurus flashgordeniensis

sheesh was that so hard??

Tank looks bangin'. Bro. Bye. Dope. Etc. etc. I can't really speak all this slang you guys throw around at each other never mind I'll just say it looks really nice there.

I'm just getting used to workings of this new camera, I'm sure once I learn all the settings they will start coming out a bit better. Of course Devo will be bringing it to Thailand for a month so expect some ballin (Tony these are descriptive words you can use too :lol:) photos.

Bahhh humbug no frags for you Greg, haha Jk fragging will be this month sometime but I will most likely be dropping all my frags off @ Red Coral for everyone to fight over (Just so little time to have everyone over for frags this time of the year).

Acanthurus flashgordeniensis works just fine for me :lol:.

Tony you got the gusto to throw out the slang, your slang just sounds more sophisticated than most of our slang that's all. Thanks for the praise Buddy!

Hey Levi, tank is looking awesume ! For your tang I'll make a guess at it being a Yellowfin (Acanthurus xanthopterus) They come in many different shades of color, but they get quite large 24" I think. Does it have any yellow markings around its eye ?

I owned a Yellowfin that outgrew my tank so it certainly isn't one of them, the Yellowfins have a distict yellow line pattern that flash is missing. They are similar looking though.

Funny that you posted this Tony as I was on live aquaria and thought the same thing, I'm far from a fish expert but I would almost infer that he seems to be a Epaulette/ Orange Socket Hybrid? Either way he's getting big really fast, I have plans to upgrade to a 350g display when Devan moves into my house (Seems we will be having a joint tank together *Cringe*).

Greg you Cherry Picker... go stand by the net more plzkthxbia haha.

What ever it takes to get some permo zoas :twised:

Zoaelite 03-11-2011 11:14 PM

Well it's been a busy last month and the tank was hit with a little bit of school related negligence :neutral:, lost a few pieces but in general not touching the tank has everything growing like crazy.

My tank seems to suffers begining semester negligence, midterm negligence, final negligence and then after final exam drinking period negligence.

I'm not a very good Reef Keeper but thanks for the compliment!

Thanks buddy! In creeping your build I'm loving the little zoa garden you got going, great to see the frags I sold you are turning into colonies.

Thanks Tony, the longfin is a little feisty bugger but hes hilarious to watch. The mandarin has been in there for about 4 months now, shes mated and dances for me every night.

I'm still debating transferring both of our pairs to the 250g, think it's enough room for 4 of them?

Zoaelite 04-15-2011 01:14 AM

Thanks everyone :razz:, new tank will be build within the week and everything is coming together nicely.

New Halides, we decided to have two 3 150W fixtures with T5's & PC's this is the new one I picked up installed on the old tank:
