Nice... 8)

.... sigh ..... I wish my tank could look like that. :(

(I guess it would, if only the frags were mother colonies, the front glass wasn't scratched to the point it's smokey, ignore the flatworms, and pretend there isn't a brown snotty goo covering everything and clogging the overflows. Yeah. Other than all that ..... my tank is completely identical. Well, minus the colours, and nice shapes, and non-necrotic caps of course. But other than that ...)

.... Seriously, very nice. I espescially like the lavender cap in the left back corner. I have a piece like that, that I rescued out of a bargain bin at a LFS, but it has so much recession it is a chore to keep the algae at bay. It hasn't receded in my tank, but it hasn't recovered yet either (wild collected specimen so who knows how long this can tank).

Neat idea having that other cap "surrounding" a powerhead intake. I bet you will get some wild growth on that guy.

cheers (I really am jealous, one day maybe I can hope to have half as nice a tank as that!!!!)

Thanks Tony. I didn't put the cap there on purpose, that's just a large frag I had nowhere to put. I had mentioned here that this cap was free for the picking up, but I didn't get many takers. So, it may end up staying wrapped around the intake.
Hope your snotty goo problem clears up. I had a similar problem in a 10g mantis tank, but a herd of hermits cleaned it up. Your tank is prolly to big to fill with hermits!!

Delphinus 01-03-2003 06:53 AM

Well it could be a neat experiment to see what new forms it will take on! :)

Yeah, I think I've got too much goo and too much tank (75g) for hermits. It's very discouraging. I'm going to run without halides for a day or two and see what impact I can make. And if that doesn't work then maybe a full day with no halides and no VHO. So far, nothing is slowing this stuff down. And now that vacation days are over I don't have the luxury of siphoning out my tank 100% 3 times per day. The stuff has got to go!!!

You got flatworms Tony? :shock:

Very nice looking reefraf. 8)
Are those radiums?

Yup, those are my new Radiums on the Son Agro ballasts. Pictures don't really do them justice though. I wish I had gone to these bulbs a year ago.

Brad,
This is quite impressive!!! :shock: :D Hope ours will get like that one day. Looks like you're gonna need a bigger tank soon. :lol:
And the lavender cap and flesh coloured one (is that a cap as well? If not, what is its name?) is absolutely cool!

Aquattro 01-04-2003 01:50 AM

Jeanna, bring some bags over sometime and your's will look very close!! I need to find (local) homes for more frags.

BC_Grl 01-04-2003 02:31 AM

Hello Brad this is Andy. I need to come over and pick up my overflow box tomorrow .What time in the evenning after work can I come over . jeanna wants to come to and she will be bring her bags. I might just leave her there LOL!!!

Aquattro 01-04-2003 03:20 AM

Andy, call my cell anytime tomorrow and I'll let you know when I'm home. Jeanna can bring plastic bags, but she needs to go back home with you!! Between my wife and the girls, I'm already outnumbered here!!

EmilyB 01-04-2003 04:00 AM

Well, I'm pretty fishy, but I must say.....your tank definitely caught hubby's attention..... :shock:

Awesome Brad. I love your tangs :D 8)

Gazza 01-04-2003 04:02 AM

Nice tank........very impressive. What size is your tank? It seems to be quite tall.

Wanna stick a piece of that in the Mail for me :?: :shock: :D

One_Divided 01-04-2003 07:31 AM

Yeah Brad, you need to keep your dog locked up or something when you are working on the tank.. That was not cool when he trampled all over the cap! :lol:

BC_Grl 01-04-2003 07:43 AM

:lol: :lol: That was pretty funny!
Good one, Adam.

Aquattro 01-04-2003 08:44 AM

Ya, Adam, good one. Seems the dog's footprint matches the bottom of your wet runner!! :D

StirCrazy 01-04-2003 09:27 AM

I am still trying to figure out how Adam's shoe got in the 20 gal tank when ti was 2 feet away :?


Steve

One_Divided 01-05-2003 12:53 AM
