My 175gal bowfront: updated pics July 29
Well I've had this tank going since Feb '08 and haven't really posted many pics, so maybe this is better late than never. I started into the SPS back with Snappy's Christmas sale and haven't looked back, slowly turning my tank into less softies and more SPS. Here's a few tank and coral shots. Almost all my SPS are frags, as it's much cheaper this way!
Full tank [IMG]http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/v...CN59574200.jpg[/IMG] Middle (my devil's hands aren't happy as I just fragged them) [IMG]http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/v...CN60024241.jpg[/IMG] Left half [IMG]http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/v...CN60004239.jpg[/IMG] Right half [IMG]http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/v...CN60014240.jpg[/IMG] My first top down pics with a point and shoot and underwater case [IMG]http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/v...CN59964235.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/v...CN59954234.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/v...CN59844225.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/v...CN59804222.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/v...CN59864227.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/v...CN59814223.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/v...CN59944233.jpg[/IMG] Top right [IMG]http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/v...CN60044243.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/v...CN59764219.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/v...CN57343997.jpg[/IMG] |

Got it from Lawrence. (I think I need Josh or someone else to come take some pics so we can actually get a good shot of some things. lol [IMG]http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/v.../fromright.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/v...ner/middle.jpg[/IMG] And my new true percs from Lawrence. Thanks Lawrence! Love them... [IMG]http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/v...iner/percs.jpg[/IMG] Here's my red margined fairy wrasse from Red Coral. Can't for the life of me get a clear shot. He won't ever stay still for me. [IMG]http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/v...nedwrasse2.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/v...inedwrasse.jpg[/IMG] Here's my leopard wrasse. Had him for well over a year now. Same thing, won't sit still enough for my bad photo skills to get a clear shot. [IMG]http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/v...ardwrasse2.jpg[/IMG] |
Man that is my dream tank!!!! let me know if you ever need a home for that tank!
Absolutely deadly tank!:mrgreen: |
That aquascaping is killer Scott,The red margin looks great in there....so does the trigger (always wanted one) How does he behave for you?
|
The trigger is the biggest chicken by far in the tank. If he suspects something is going on, he bolts into his little cave. He is a true gentleman though...never pushes anyone around, even during feeding. Doesn't pick up and move anything or eat any inverts. He's a really cool fish. Thanks for the compliments!
|
Got new camera the other day and is a bit of difference with the pics I can take now....

Shouldn't you be working right now Scott?:razz:

Found this old pic of Snappy's green birdsnest from back in Feb '09 (up at the top)
http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/v...CN58204068.jpg and a pic from Dec '09 http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/v...ner/HDR2-1.jpg Doliatus rabbitfish, inspired by Tony.... http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/v...r/IMG_5050.jpg Another growth shot of the bird of many colours I got from Greg back in Oct. Also a super fast grower as you can see from my post earlier http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/v...r/IMG_0749.jpg |
http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/v...r/IMG_5039.jpg
A year and 5 months since starting vodka. Since getting a calcium reactor, I've bee getting brown wafer algae. Have also increased my bioload which wouldn't help any. Am researching into microbacter7 and might start soon. Especially if someone in town carries this. There's a lot of info on RC with this, some threads almost too long. lol. Here's a shot of my "female" squarespot slowly turning into a male. http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/v...r/IMG_5048.jpg |
Looking awesome Scott! :biggrin: Has your tank ever "filled in" since I saw it last. Lots of growth!
|
As you already know I am a huge FAN! :wink: Looking incredible Scott! Really looking filled in and mature! That anemone is insane and I love the chalice in the right corner. Great pics...
|
Love the rabbit and regal :biggrin: Your tank is just beautiful, Wow!!!!!
|
WHAT a GREAT picture of the rabbit. Def my fave Siganus !! :)
|
Well that new cam sure kicked thing up a notch....very nice pics Scott...
|
Thanks guys! I have to admit though, a couple of those like the panoramic were from Richard, who came over about a month ago in the middle of the bad weather to take some pics. Super cool guy. He put a post a while ago wanting to take pics of peoples tanks, so I would recommend anyone wanting to learn a bit about photography to have him over.
Here's a couple more of my newest members. dwarf golden moray having a lazy day with a big yawn. Thanks for all your input on keeping these guys Tony. They're lots of entertainment. For sure what everyone's interested in when they come over. Tanks pretty stocked up now....:redface: http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/v...eelyawning.jpg Copperband from seamazter http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/v...r/IMG_0739.jpg |
Beautiful shots and the Copperband is just incredible, :mrgreen:
|
Great shots Scott! Those pics are stunning! Great color! What camera are you using? Have I told you yet that I love your tank?:mrgreen::wink::biggrin:
|
Wow you have some stunning corals, and love to see the growth progression!
Any updated fts? One more thing, You have what looks to be purple lokani and another green with pink base lokani where did you aquire those? |
Thanks guys! I took those with a panasonic lumix DMC TS1. I got the purple lokani from Red Coral I think,l and the other from a fellow canreefer. Can't remember his name, and I didn't save it in my PM's. I'll try and get a full tank shot.

Holy crap Scott!:shocked!:....beauTiful!
|
That's one LUSH tank...amazing!
|
Thanks guys. :redface:
How come every time I think I have a decent pic on my camera, when I post it, it looks totally washed out? |
Doug, that orange digi I got from you a while back is really starting to take off. It's in the last 2 pics I just posted.
|
GREAT SCOTT, Scott. :biggrin: That's a nice tank full of corals you got there. Beautiful.

Looked it up, and it was last Aug! You're right, it took a while to encrust and then it starts growing branches up a lot faster. It's a neat colour as it has a deep orange with pink tips on it.
|
Looking better every time I see a picture of it or in person. That anemone and gorg would look a lot better in my tank though! :wink:
|
Few new shots of some of my SPS taken top down with a point and shoot underwater camera. I've stopped dosing zeo for the last month and a half except the potassium and haven't noticed any big changes. Still dosing vodka and MB7 daily with a doser though. I think I've lost a bit of purple and green, but will be saving a lot of money. Previously I was dosing coral vitalizer, sponge power, and amino acid but half the recommended dosage and only about twice a week.
Greg's bird of many colours http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/v...r/P1010608.jpg Branching cyphastrea. Wow, is it ever slow growing. Surprisingly grows faster on the bottom than the top of the tank http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/v...r/P1010598.jpg Greg's red convexa http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/v...r/P1010589.jpg Kind of a multi-coloured pocci http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/v...r/P1010587.jpg Stylo http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/v...r/P1010586.jpg Different stylo http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/v...r/P1010585.jpg Greg's granulosa http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/v...r/P1010594.jpg pink stylo http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/v...r/P1010606.jpg blue milli, pink digi http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/v...r/P1010593.jpg meteor shower cyphastrea http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/v...r/P1010624.jpg orange monti completely growing into my gorg http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/v...r/P1010627.jpg unknown deepwater acro http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/v...r/P1010609.jpg unknown acro http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/v...r/P1010631.jpg Crayola http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/v...r/P1010618.jpg |
