Shots from the new 180 gallon, part 1...big pics...

[Anonymous]

Everything looked so good the other night that I had to shut the pumps off and take some shots...

Clownfish and anemone...my oldest animals at 5+ years. The LTA is easily 16" across :

Blastomussa merleti (green & blue centered) and metallic green star polyps (from Greg Hiller) :

Metallic green tip hammer coral :

Metallic green anchor coral :

Orange rim and baby blue ricordea florida :

Red Sea pom pom xenia and red & yellow cocoworm :

Zoanthids and long-polyp sarcophyton. Not the sharpest of pictures, but I like the type of polyps on the sarco :

Peace,

Chip

Yeah, the polyps are *really* long on this one, and they pulse! Not as frequently as xenia, but each polyp pulses at least a couple times a minute. It was a frag I acquired from a friend who has a 14"+ tall one in his 125.

Tank looks great!

I saw a pulsing frag of sacrophyton last year at the LFS for $90. I kept on walking...

Nice tank!
