[butters88]

I hope everyone is having a great long weekend! I finally had time to snap a decent full tank shot today. More pictures and details of my tank will follow as time permits.
Stay tuned!

Very nice!

More pictures?

More pictures? No problem!

Here is a sequence of photos for a wild tonga piece that is one of my favorites. I originally acquired it in November 2006.


As reputable with most tonga corals, over the next two months it gradually browned. Here it is January 23rd, 2007.


Here is is today.

It is still hard to capture it's colors (the 2nd brown photo is very accurate though lol), but it is now more of an ice blue than the original ice purple color.

A recent purchase from the aussie shipment that came in a few weeks ago.
In case you can't tell from my FTS, I'm a LPS fanatic!

One more before I head out, here is my one and only favorite multibar angel!

[michika]

Wow! I love Tonga pieces, they always seem to turn out so pretty once they've transitioned.

I love the shot of the angels. Do you have any problems with them sampling?

[butters88]

I haven't had any issues with them sampling SPS. With regards to LPS, the multibar does occassionally develop a taste for one of the chalices, nips at it for a few days, then leaves it alone. From my experience, I would consider these fish good reef citizens, since they haven't caused the death of any corals.

Wow! your tank looks amazing now!! completely different from when I last saw it! You've had some amazing growth in there!!

[butters88]

Hey exee, thanks!
I think the last time you saw it was almost a year ago? A lot has changed and you're more than welcome to come have a look
With the amount of time I've been out of town, I'm very fortunate the tank is still in this condition. Btw, I think it might be time for another group order
How are things with your tank?

Some shots I just took of my favorite chalices
