Well I figure anyone following this journal is curious to see the full tank shots. Here's a quick cell phone picture, the colours are way off, but it's just to give you an idea of what's changed since in the last 2 nights there has been 8 large colonies that have been removed. There is someone coming over tonight again to get some colonies. Anyway, here it is. You can see some of the cyano that I'm battling too.

SWEET!! And all it took was a fake threat of violence!! Muahahaha!!! We'll likely be in town in the next couple of weeks... Vanessa is likely to have an appointment with a midwife... if you catch my drift!!! (hence her not feeling well the other weekend) Hopefully we'll actually have a chance to meet up this time!

that tank looks great. how long have you had the tank running for? how long did it take to get it to look like that?
Yeah, it's super full still. I just took another colony out last night. I got water in it Aug of 09. So it's just under 2 years old and all started mostly from Frags.

Old wives tale says if you talk to you house plants they will grow happy & healthy. Is that your secret Dez, you sit in your office whispering sweet nothing to your corals I can see it know.

Well all I can say is you sure are doing something very right, your tank amazes me every time I see it. The colonies & frags I picked up are doing well & will be in there permeant home this week. Thank again my friend, still need a few more frags of a couple different things so when you have something sweet let me know.

No I don't whisper to my corals. I actually just fragged some sweet stuff. I have a few frags of smooth skinned light blue acro frags - never fragged. I also made a few Frags of bright green stag with blue tips-only fragged once.

These are horrible pics from when I got these and because neither grew at all until recently I don't have better shots...

Dez you don't mean this smooth blue you fragged for me? Terrible pic and amazingly enough many months later this things is sprouting like mad after I moved it to the sandbed.



And this green with blue tips?
