Snappy's Glass Boxes of Fun
I had a request to post more pictures from my display tank. Sounded like a good idea so I will start posting regular random shots of the inhabitants. Here's a few to get things rolling. :biggrin:

I have to figure out a way to catch my pyramid butterflies. They are starting to cost me a fortune in LPS, zoas & clams. :twised:
It looks like I'll need to invest in a fish trap. Any other ideas? |
Wow Greg...always inspiring to see your success at this glass box stuff. Visiting your old tank in Calgary was probably the largest motivating factor in the new tank I'm putting together. Thanks for the amazing pictures!

Greg... One word... STUNNING!!! :biggrin:
|
I'm sure everyone would agree that a FTS would be nice to see
|
^^^^What he said :)
|
Thanks guys. One of these days I'll get a proper FTS and post it. :wink:
|
The Blue Ridge was in bloom so I thought I'd snap a picture.

whoa i don't think i've ever seen that thing 'in bloom' and i've certainly seen it enough! talk about a sleeper coral... that looks sweet.

It's certainly not the most colorful coral in the tank but is still pretty cool none the less. |
Amazing corals Greg. I'll have to pay you a visit again after I move (basement=bigger tank!!)
|
what is in pics 2,3 and 5?

|
You certainly have a beautiful collection Greg. Thanks for sharing!
|

I run a mix of 4x 250 w MH -14k & 2x 20K 150 w. The are also 12 T5 bulbs - 4x 12K, 2x fiji Purple, 2x reef pink, 2 blue plus, 2 actinic. |
6 halides? What are the dimensions of your tank? I didn't realize it was that big! Are those Phoenix 14K bulbs?
|
Quote:
Yes the bulbs are Pheonix. |
Wow, big tank. I like and use Phoenix too. Hurry up with the FTS! :D
|
The tank is not suitable for an FTS right now. To much stuff going on - egg crate covering some corals to protect from the pyramid butterflies, fish trap trying to catch the same, etc.
|
Looks like you need a second tank for LPS so this one can be SPS. ;) I finally gave in and did that...
|
Here's a few pieces in the frag system preparing for graduation day.:wink:
The polyps on this front frag are actually about 1/2" long. http://photobucket.com/albums/h210/T...greenhairy.jpg |
Fixed your image Greg. Hope you don't mind... :wink:
wasn't working so I added it in. http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h2...greenhairy.jpg |

Will you be getting any acans anytime soon.

After having a fish trap in the display for 3 weeks I finally caught the last pyramid butterfly that I will be taking to the LFS and trading in on some new fish. Those buggers killed several of my clams and most of my prize LPS pieces and cost my an easy $2K in what they destroyed. They were model citizens for about 3 years and then decided they liked to eat coral even nipping at the sps. I had to catch almost every other fish before the stubborn last one would go into the trap so my sump was getting pretty full but things should be back to normal soon with all the other fish returned to the dislay.
