Nice anthias? How many do you have?

Give us the goods Doug, FTS? More photos? Pretty please!

they are purple queens.....a customer brought in a trio of them and said he had them for about a year and a half....I couldnt resist.....my group of chromies didnt care for them too much at first introduction and one of them ended up a CCC (crispy carpet critter):cry:....so now I have two

I want some of these Zoas Mr.Dougster!!

Thank you! I really like them.

Things are looking good mang! Anthias are nicer than chromies, maybe it's time to "re-home the chrome!" :lol:

Picture for reference:

Haha...if that doesn't flush him out...nothing will!

Exactly :) chum's in the water.

:pound: someone is asking for trouble!

Unfortunately cute potter angel has eaten most of the zoas in Doug's tank :sad: Pretty sure those ones became fish food.

Pygmies are a love hate relationship for me, loved my potters, golden, flameback and beauty but they all ended up nipping.

Much happier after I made the decision to permanently ditch them in the zoa only tank.

*Said in a Doug like voice*
Things just aren't the same without Fishytime humor around here :neutral:.

I got a more actuate pic (he was originally holding a certain finger up, but decided I couldn't post that)

that setosa colony is getting huge!

Time for my semi-annual update.....well not an update....really more of a dump....photo dump that is....

That's it!! 7 pics........not much of a dump there Dougster.........more like a rabbit turd trail :twised:

but if I posted them all I would have nothing to post in three months:razz:

So don't be lazy and take some more in 3 months........geeze kids these days :razz:

Those pics were taken about 5 months ago, I told him to post them back then but he wanted to "stager" them. Most of those corals have doubled in size now and sadly those pretty bam bam zoas are almost non-existent cause his potters angel ate them.

Things look great mang!!

yeah i've got some serious setosa envy! looking great bro.

Busted! :mrgreen:

Nice shots though.

thank you gentlemen:biggrin:

Hey!, YOUR not sposed to rat me out!




I guess your right....Its not that big o deal to snap a few




ya, busted.....it was the perfect plan.....take 70 or so pics and post 10 or so every other month or so, leaving me to just be lazy for the rest of the year.....foiled again!:mrgreen:




FINE!....here are some pics that were taken a few minutes ago.....is that fresh enough for ya?

Pretty maxima!!

Thanks Tony.... I'm fond of that one too.... Glad I was able to snag a teardrop before they got hard to come by..... Picked that one up from Neal

what does the undata look like these days bro?

Dougie that tank is looking stellar and I didnt know that you wore plad and smoked

Guilty as charged but I see it motivated you to take new pic's. But how come there isn't a pic of the pretty clam I bought you?

thanks Mikey....apparently Ive put on some weight too:mrgreen:


patience grasshoppers

Wow! What a great looking piece. They all do, but this one really should out


http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o...2/IMGP0034.jpg

Yes, how come? Don't you know there are others here who need their clam fix.
I knew I liked her for a good reason! She buys clams for you! You're spoiled. :biggrin:

These photos will be considered "fresh enough" for about a period of 1 week. After that all bets are off.

+1 and thank-you. I managed to get to Neal's store early enough that I was able to pick up the nicest clam out of the bunch for Doug :biggrin:

That's better Sir Dougster, I really enjoy seeing your pic. Hope I can get my new tank looking as good as yours some day.

thank you sir....but to be honest, Im not showing the bad and the ugly....just showing the good:wink:


thanks mang....it really didnt photograph anything like it looks in person

ok, heres a pic of the clam in question....among other things

It's true it looks a lot more yellow then green in person, I couldn't even tell what coral it was from the pic

Here's a pic I just took, the colour shows a bit better in it

http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/i...psa65a5ac3.jpg

so I added a TIR lense to one of the radions on the end of the tank.....you cant really see any difference looking at the tank, but when you sit on the couch and look up at the bottom of the fixtures you sure can see the difference.....definitely brighter.....I have a second lens kit for the other end of the tank that I havent installed yet out of laziness, but I am impressed so I will likely pick up two more kits and do them all.....now as for whether or not the corals will be impressed remains to be seen......
