WoW Kathy thats a beautiful tank wow again can you come help me with mine
Kathy's 75 Gallon Reef Tank
- Thread starter KathyC
- Start date
I couldn't even find my own tank thread..had to go all the way back to January! I guess I'm overdue for an update.
So much has changed in the tank... I've reaquascaped twice (will look for FTS to show the differences, no promises it will be tonight...) A number of the corals have been moved to my other tank, a 33 Oceanic cube..still need to start a thread on that one. I did take pics while I was building it and have some trim work to finish up.
Due to the swap last week I have a bunch of stuff on my sand again that is acclimating to the lighting..so please excuse the 'mess'.
Going to post some pics tonight of my favorite things & fish..the rest of the pics will be put into My Gallery. Due to my addiction..the pics are mostly zoas..lol
My Yellowstreak Wrasse..I LOVE the colors in this fish & want to get one of the talented MR photographers over here to take a pic of this guy.. I can't do him any justice..
My most recent addition..an Exquisite Wrasse...sooo colorful! (in person anyway..)
zoa shots..
Steve - what are the ones below called..these were one of the 2 Dave was holding for me..the pic doesn't do them justice..
Just one more for tonight to show you I do have things other than zoas...
I can't believe how much this guy has grown since I took this pic!
Might be one or two more..need to see if I can find the pics of those acans I scored a couple of weeks ago...
Thanks for looking!

was told this was an orange crush acan..not really sure..anyone?
It's Acanthastrea echinata/subechinata. However, in hobby slang, I'd say it's also a Rainbow acan with more orange than normal. "Orange Crush" is solid orange.

Beautiful stuff Kath. Keep them pix coming.

Thanks Lou & Jon...
Jon, the Exquisite is so many colors and I can't get them all to show up in the pics..he's sooo fast!
The rockwork is still the same as the April pic..the fish like to swoop down between the 'canyons' in there.
I need a bigger tank!
Mike..thanks... the sweet rics are all in the 33G cube..bout 20 of 'em...whoa wait..not all, how about you post a pic of that beautiful ric of mine that's still in YOUR tank? lol

Kathy -- beautiful tank!!! Thanks for all the pix! I'm just starting to go through tank threads to see what my friends are doing with their tanks... Your tank is an inspiration to me - I'm setting up a 75 this weekend!!!
