my new Flame Angel, new tank shots & various others

I was bored... haha, enough said. Here's some new pictures of the flame angel, hands down my favourite fish that I have kept. Looking forward to setting up my cube in the future, this fish interacts very well with my fish, which I love to see.. the colours blow my mind. (my camera sucks as stated before, all pics look washed out and blurred... Go Pentax!)

And if my damn shirt wasn't in the reflection, this would have been a really cool picture.

The only thing my Flame likes so far is one frag of red digitata.. phewph. But, that's so far. I intend to keep her belly full, so it doesn't start to get hungry for more.

And just some whatever shots..

Frogspawn, looked mighty nice after a feeding of roids. I took the shot at a bad angle (of course.. )

Hammer

Red digitata (my flame angel picks at ... looks brownish in the photo, although it's not. This piece is for sale in Calgary because it will only get picked on more... PM me if interested)

This will make a neat colour combo once it spreads more..

Cool acro that has lots of potential colour wise... is forming a nice purple at the tips, white polyps : (bad pic)

Green slimer, growing well

All puckered up. This anemone is still doing great..

Tank as of March 6th @ 7pm

Side shots .. they're hard.

Thanks for looking.

Nice shots, thanks for sharing. Those Seio's take up a lot of room! Would they look less obtrusive if they were in the back corners?

The Seio's drive me mad. I have a very difficult time placing them in a way that everything receives a good flow. The SPS get an alternating flow while the LPS get a gentle, moderate flow.. as well as the anemone.

I think it all comes down to my laziness

It just happens to work best this way... because of where corals are placed up top, etc..

I'll take that into consideration though, for a rainy day when I'm feeling bored..haha

The curse of a man without a plumbed system. Iv'e got two seios and a skimmer taking up realestate in my cube and I hate it - I feel your pain!

I have a Seio in my 18" wide cube, and I don't mind it a bit.

Oh well. I'm used to it.. it's really not as bad as you'd think, especially after you've adjusted and so on.

Scott the tank looks really good man. Love the flame too. When i got mine I couldnt wait to get him in to the tank..

But then all my SPS started to look like crap after 2 weeks or so and guess who did it..

I hope you have better luck then I didi.

i lost all my nice SPS from the flame. ANd most of them went to Doug and Didnt recover from it.. ans my Cap's come to think of it didnt last long either...

GOod luck thanks for sharign the nice arco's you have too...
