wow...
I can't believe I never saw this thread until today...
absolutely stunning tank, your bar style stand makes me drool, especially when you take full scape pictures and you can see the reflection on the shiney bar laquer.
Congratulations on this build, it's obvious you have put in some serious blood sweat and tears (not to mention $$$) into it and it's equally as obvious from the comments on this thread (yes, I read it front to back due to terrible stock market conditions) that your methods are succesful both from an aesthetic as well as biological perspective.

I am extremely impressed, even though I've only been reefing for a couple of years.
I thank you from all of us who read, learned from, and thoroughly enjoyed this thread, great that you find the time to post pictures, update your journal and still chop up all that seafood on a daily basis...

You do Coquitlam proud.

Default SEX on camera!

I've never managed before to see the clowns lay their eggs. For whatever reason, they choose to do this in the middle of the afternoon the other day. Always have your camera ready!

It had only been three days since the previous batch hatched.

Yes, the Atlantic Blue seemed quite interested in the new eggs. Of course, the clowns don't let him anywhere near them. He just has to wait until they hatch...

That Atlantic Blue was blue when I got him, then changed to yellow after some time. That is backwards to what is supposed to happen. I think he reverted to his juvenile colouration when his environment changed. I've read that they sometimes turn a dull grey-blue when they mature.

...and when he's in a different mood, he shows vertical stripes...

Wow, that's wild. Who'd have thunk they can revert? He's actually really pretty with the yellow, easily as nice as the adult colouration.

Could be diet. If so, I'll keep feeding him what I'm feeding him!
