Finally...my tank pics!

[Anonymous]

Well, the camera crapped out...I think there may be something wrong with the power button, though it's just my luck it would give out the first day I use the damn thing. I'm pissed, but did manage to snap some good shots of the tank :

Chip's Reef Tank Pics

Advance warning...they're pretty large, like 150K each on average.

Let me know what you think!

Peace,

Chip

Thats a nice setup, like the detail on your close-ups: looks like the high detail you see on DTV!

looks great! I especially like your rockwork and purple coralline. better get that aiptasia on zooanthid3.jpg! nice job.

You know, I suspected that was an aiptasia, but I've never seen a good enough picture to make the comparison. What does everyone suggest I do to get rid of it? Just take a scissors to it?

Peace,

Chip

As far as the aptasia, I think the scissor idea is not good. From what I've read, they reproduce by leaving tissue in a spot when they move. By clipping it, you're releasing a lot of tissue and possibly spreading it. The two options are syringing hot water and calcium supplement directly into the anemone, or getting a Peppermint shrimp to eat it. I'm sure there are other options people will mention.

About four months now. It's survived the heat wave I had a couple months ago, and it now recovering nicely. I also have a red one, and as soon as the polyps come out I'll snap a pic of it as well.

Peace,

Steve,

No, I don't. They are right in the water column where I feed, and the food always washes over them. I know they are partially photosynthetic, but accoring to Borneman's book they should have died on me by now, so who knows? I must be doing something right...

Peace,

Chip
