What I did on my summer vacation

[aaron]

I was in Australia for a month for my summer vacation and have only just now got around to posting some fish related pictures from the trip.
check out this cool tank:
Its 118" long x 24" x 30" dont know how many gallons that is ( we use litres in australia anyway) but its a lot!
Many of the things in there are from my old tank that I broke down five years ago when i moved to New York, My radianthus anemone is now as round as a truck tire when it is fully expanded, also, keyhole angel i caught in Sydney Harbour five years ago, it was living in an old tire.
I have a couple more pictures of this tank that i will post later along with some shots of the baby clown fish breeding/growout tanks

Beautiful!

check out this neon green leather coral. Maybe i just dont get out too often but I've never seen one of these before.
If anyone's got any I'd love a frag. Otherwise i'm going to have to figure out how to bring one back with me next time. Ricordia king did you bring livestock back from Australia? How did you go about it? did you put the fish in condoms and swallow them?

 

[ShaunW]

Aaron, what light (watts and K) is that toadstool under?

 

[samksy]

Some one is selling it on RC for $50 an inch + $40 shipping....way too expensive...do a search on Neon Green Leather, it should show up.

I think i saw a few neon green leather here and there, but no where near that green and flourcent.

Maybe a different duller morph? Or its all about lighting?

talking about the green polyped toadstool, shaun how's the one i gave you comming along? did it start opening again?

 

[Barnacle_Blenny]

Very cool setup. I love big tanks. One day when I convince my wife to move out into the burbs we'll have room for my dream reef. sigh

Oh Yeah! Boy is it coming along. It is starting to look like the one Aaron posted, that's why I wanted to know about the lighting.

I can't seem to get a good picture of it though, because the camera can't mimic the glowing flourescence.

I'm glad your's is doing well, mine fell into the rocks and disappeared.


Aaron is that your old tank you gave to your cousin?

That is an amazing piece of work. I could look at that all day

 

[aaron]

No, that's the tank i have been told i will get if i move back to Australia. (Which is a big incentive to get the hell out of New York) However a lot of the livestock is from my original 90Gal.
Shaun, I think the lights are 20K 250W MH's

 

[aaron]

Speaking of falling off the rocks, as i was leaving for work this morning i noticed the ric i got from the frag swap has fallen off the rock as is nowhere to be seen.
Now I gotta go home and tear the tank apart to find it......sigh

 

[nanoreefer22]

I'd move back for that tank. Beautiful tank can't even begin describing it.

shaun when you take a pic ,cover the flash if you dont already ,it will bring out more of the color and not make it bright ,,

 

[DEEPWATER]
