Well, I am not sure i ever put any pictures of my tank online here, as I dont have any camera skillz...

So, here goes....


This is pretty much the first things folks see and comment on.


I got these zoas for the grandis on there, but the blue zoas are probably worth more. (teh grandis maynot be actual paly grandis, more like regular green button polys)



I got a frag of about 20 of these zoas about 1-1/2 year ago, and thought they were the biggest colony I had. (Aint it neet what happens when you place something and dont move them around??)



Here are some pink zoas next to the fire and ice zoas.



How about the typical red and green lobophyllia



And the not so typical neon green lobo



ANd an orange/peach Fungia/Plate coral



Here is an End Shot


Left Side



And a full tank shot



I am having someone come over today to take some more pictures, and hopefully they will be killer too, (I'm sure they will be)

I will post more as I get them.

Thanks

Bill

Sorry, I didnt take those pics either... Another reefer with MAD camera skillz took them about two weeks ago..

Since then, I have tried my own skillz


My clowns mated last week, but I think the inverts had caviar the other night





My point and shoot camera, after I figured out how to put it in manual mode:

and bought a tri-pod









This piece (upper left), has had some serious growth in the last week. I will try to get another pic today when my friend comes by later. (this is a tyree LE blueberry something??) I got it about a year ago, and it was aboutthe size of a dime. The polyps are blue, very blue..


Upper right is a poccilopora. nice green/brown, with creen polyps that are pretty long and luminescent under actinics

Lower right is a pink stylopora. Very pink, and getting thicker, but not really spreading or growing like I had hoped. it also had a die off from the trunk/base about 6-9 months ago.. but it has stopped, and the top branch has shown no sign of problems or recession since..

Lower left is my first Acans, thanks to westcoast reefers



And my galaxia, it is amazing. It has grown about 30% since I got it. It is placd in front of my closed loop suction drain/inlet. So the sweepers are drawn towards the back of the tank.. (for scale, the galaxia is about 5-6 inches in diameter)




and another shot of my neon green lobophyllia. I love how much this thing inflates... you can see right through the flesh to the skeleton.

Thanks brock. I like how it is growing out too. Although I get somewhat disappointed with some items, either location, or rate of growth or this or that... I am turning into a coral snob!!!! heheh

and thanks to all for the welcome.

Some more pictures, thanks to Bob, (coachfraley)




My neon green Favia, (it is about 7 inches across)





I think Bob likes my fish... (but was a bit frustrated cause they get into the picture but dont stay still)






And my version of the grandis paly, (a verylarge green button poly??)


My ricordia slope. (is that a Yuma on the bottom, the green one??)


And here is/was the mother colony to almost everyones monticap that I gave away for the last three months...

this thing used to be larger then an LP record, (a vinyl disk used befre cd's)



And these polyps glow at night, something fierce. light them up with moonlight and put on some goggles...


And some mean greens that someone gave me to hold... I am holding them... I am fragging them and they ar growing out... but I am holdingthem...




And of course, the fire and ice rug... (notice the rocks on the zoas... I throw them onto, wait a week or two, and peel of some new frags for you all)

igot it from Pasadena Tropical fish, about 2 years ago, when I had my 50 gallon tanks...

I think it is past the IFFY stage... heheh

It is called an Atlantic Rose Anemone, (not sure if it is from the Atlantic or not, but that is what is was called)

It is non-hosting, and very sticky. I would not want to be a fish and get stuck, it would be all over...

It is about 6+inches in diameter..

The 'lips' are bright green and look like lipstick most of the time, unless burping or eating or???

The tentacles are very 'jurassic' looking...



As for 'this series of pics' they are a bit more photoshoped then the others...

The colors are more close to the first series, although this series has some great highlights that look tht way under actinics, it is cool tosee them under regular lighting/pictures
