Thanks Russ. I am pretty pleased with the tank so far. Now I just need to keep up with my maintenance.

How do I submit the pic, Dave? I wasn't to get the white balance proper first though.

very nice looking tank...

Great tank and sump/refugium, oh and I love that stand you built, nice job. I can't wait to get to that level. How is the sound level of all your equipment, it the pump, fans and skimmer noisy?

 

[wonderballz]

Thanks guys. The system is not too bad. I found most of the sound comes from the fans on the light. The SWC skimmer is pretty quiet. The return pump is pretty quiet as long as it's not resting on anything.

I need to buy those zoas back update pictures of zoas and its growth

 

[wonderballz]

Those are pretty recent pics Olivier. The Somehow, 2 polyps of the Jokers separated from the plug. I tried gluing them back on, but they were gone the next day. 2 polyps stayed behind. As you can see, the 2 polyps became 4. The blinding are up to 8 polyps, and the green skirt/orange centers are up to 10 polyps. the blue tubbs are up to 7 polyps. They are really growing nicely.

A moment of silence for my firefish. He must have gotten into my overflow and jumped from my sump because I have netting over my tank. I got a Yellow Watchman Goby and a pair of cleaner shrimp from the meet and greet on Sunday, and i guess the YWG and the firefish were fighting over the same cave.

Rest in peace Milo. sorry it had to end this way

Very nice 40B! What a difference 6 months make.

 

[wonderballz]

Thanks Flex. I forgot you almost bought him...I wish it turned out better. He was so happy until I got my YWG.

Thanks Brandy. I have to put some more update shots. I got some new livestock and more growth! 6 months really does make a difference!

 

[wonderballz]

Here are some updated pics. I stopped by Manhattan Aquariums last week and picked up a few frags from them. They have a beautiful store. My fiance almost couldn't get me to leave!

Here are the pics

Red Acan from MH

Paly from MH. Anyone know their name?

Chalice from MH

Here are some comparison/growth shots

starting to encrust the plug. It bleached a little, but colored up once I started dosing.

For some reason, my LA Lakers melted fro 30 polyps to one. It has stabalized and is at 3 or 4 polyps. hopefully it will grow back fast.

Haven't updated this since March, so here are a bunch of pics

Red Hornets and Eye of Rah

Not sure of these names

Blue stag from musictoyourhome

Frag of Green Birdsnest

Sunset Monti

Monti Cap

These look like Blow pops

Jokers and Tubbs Blue

Frag I got from MA

 

[pauliwalnuts]

Nice selection of coral. :cheers:
Btw, what is the two whitish looking polyps growing on the same disc as of the last pic you just posted.

 

[rideit6578]

Some killer shots man.

 

[wonderballz]

Thanks guys.

@ Paulie - I'm not sure what those are. They have very thin tentacles, and greyish centers with white mouths. It's hard to get a shot because they are pointed down.

@ rideit - Thanks buddy. Even these shots are a month or 2 old, so I have to post some newer growth shots.

 

[wonderballz]

OK guys. Here are some pics of recent aquisitions and growth pics.

Jason Fox Vivid Rainbow Monti bought at the swap

Superman Monti from Rickytsui

Blue tort from Charliethetuna

Birds of paradise from Marcin

Purple bonsai from Marcin

Strawberry shortcake from NYCPassat

I was lucky enough to win a pair of Sanjay's Black Photons. It was bitter sweet since I had to give up my present True Percs...

Here are Sanjay's. I had them separated until I got rid of the True Percs

As you can see the lighter color one is quite a bit less energetic. I couldn't get a good still shot of the dark guy.

Unfortunately I got rid of these little guys today. I got them about 1.5 years ago from Dom, but they went to a good home. They are back with Dom now, so I definitely don't have to worry about their care.

This is a frag of Red Planet from Jason of Frags-Unlimited. It's starting to encrust the plug

Here's my Mystery Wrasse from Dom

My Black sailfin Blenny. He can be a bastard when he wants to.

And some growth pics

Green birdsnest. It has easily doubled in size since I got it from Vincent (Musictoyourhome)

Blue stag also from Vincent is a fast grower as well

Here is a brown base, blue tip acro I got from a local buddy David. I like how it grows almost like a palm tree.

Well, there is a crapload of pics here, but it is 2011 and hopefully everyone checking out this thread has a fast internet connection.

Hope you enjoyed looking, and please LMK if there are any criticisms or advice.
