Unforunately Spot, another juvie clown, and all of the plate corals perished while I was away for a long weekend. So sad.

So awesome.

And sorry about spot.

Inspiring shots.

Thanks guys.

You need to keep up with the pics.. they are awesome!!!

What lens was used in the first one? I gots to have one.

Lani, still hate you because of your photo skills. Sweet shots.

That would be the Sigma 10-20mm. It's a terrific lens.


Lol, thanks I guess

Gorgeous pictures kim

Sorry about the loss..

Haven't been on NR in what must be a year or so. Glad to see your tank is still going strong. As is your camera

Hey man! How is everything going?

Pretty good. Work has been busy. Kids schedule and coaching keeps me busy.

The tanks have more or less put up with the lack of attention. The fish never mind though:)

I see you have your lens in your sig . I have the 100mm too. I use it for everything.

How's life in La?

Busy too, school starts again next week, already!

Glad to hear you went with the 100mm.

And ya, my tank is pretty much on autopilot right now. I just feed and top off. Need to change that..

Auto pilot is good. I got by with just daily feeding and skimmer cleanup for probably 8 months. But eventually the CA reactor ran out of media and things went a little hay wire. I lost a few pieces then but most made it through. Reef Darwinism. I got both tanks all cleaned up for the holidays and even did some water changes and did all equipment maintenance. I can enjoy them again now.

Good luck in school and keep up the good work with tank.

Ah, sorry to hear about the mishap but glad things are ok now. And thanks.
Be good!

Was that Brett??



Oh... hi Kim.

Richie! How are ya, buddeh? :creepyhug:

Where the hell is MY creepy hug? wtf.

:creepygropehug: for you!

Oh, still at it.

Just dropped in to grab some eye candy and say herrow!

:creepychathugbackattcha:

Aww shucks, you say such sweet things to me....... oh, you meant the coral pics...



Hope you and yours had a good christmas and new year!

There's coral pics




One of the best Holiday seasons in recent memory- Thanks

I can only hope yours was as enjoyable. Happy New Year Kim!

Hey richie! I dropped into NR today. I see your thread is almost as stale as mine was

Happy holidays buddy. Are those little yellow polyps of mine still over growing your tank

Happy Holidays to you my friend!

...yes, my threads are rather dusty too

Actually the yellows thinned out some- rather surprised me, but I have some in all three tanks so I think all in all I'm covered There's no telling how many got tossed over the years

The little yellow "Fiji that could" is still with me too! One of my favorites.

Don't mind us Kim- We'll just 'jack your thread like years gone by
Lani's pink yuma disappeared on me some months back

No worries, man, you know I don't mind a good jacking.
Sorry you lost the pinky, I still have the big mama but she hasn't been making babies like she used too... Or she is but they are hiding from me.

Brett - I managed to kill off all of the yellow polyps I got from you.... I dunno how.

Hi jack continues. Need to boost Lani's thread post count

I finally killed all of my yellow polyps . Maybe some day I'll get a cutting off that Fiji.

I need to setup a QT tank again for fish and SPS and get softies going in it.

Happy holidays to you too! Oh and Lani as well

Hopefully the ol' girl starts putting out again one day soon.

I can send you both some yellows one day! : waits to hear loud and hearty chuckles :


Well if anyone is entitled to a frag it's you lol. Wimby has asked about one also and she is just about to a size that I'd feel comfortable taking a slice. ( of the Fiji...not Wimby lol ) Perhaps I could make them both at the same time. Keep in touch when that softie tank gets up and running.

You too, Brett!


Lol, I think I'll pass.


Oh and good news, that rat-bastard urchin died! ...... Of natural causes, so don't anybody yell at me.

LOL

I remember buying them as one of my first corals ever. They were awesome at the time They are still neat if they stay contained and even turn bright yellow under high lighting.

So I've finally decided what I'm going to do! I built a new tank stand/game and dvd storage unit that will hold two 10gal tanks side by side. One will be sw and the other planted fw. So I'm going to get the 10gal cycled and then start picking out the few select corals I want to keep, along with the last two onyx clownfish juvies, royal gramma, and possibly the lone masked goby. The rest of the corals in the 40br will be sent to a new home, where hopefully the new owner won't eat them (youknowhamean). I'll get some new pics up soon.

Sounds like a plan!

So here are the new tanks and stand:


Left-planted fw, Right-sw

Guess I need to start another tank thread.

Very cool idea.

you are taking down the 40?

Yup.

Thats going to be really cool lani.ive always wanted to do something similar..

order a pico aquarium tank. can you please own tanks as cute as yourself and not this hot mess?

Thanky, I did the same thing with two 2.5gal minibows before and liked it so I've been wanting to do a larger version since then.


Nah, I like the oddballs.

yeah Ive noticed

Why ya gotta be like that?

Minibow side-by-side:

^
That is awesome! I'm doing something just like that. I have my 12g reef on the left and my 3g fw planted picotope on the right, with my laptop in the middle, on my desk. I love the contrast between the two so much.

I'll be following your new thread

Thanks.

Gonna miss this thread. You were one of my inspiration to start one. I still have your baby Yuma it is a slow grower but it have made from a dime size to half a dollar size.

How do you like your tek over your 40b. Hype recommended me this fixture because of better price and 6 bulb instead of ati power module 4 x 39. any tip?

Thank you so much.
And yes, the yumas are slow growers!

The 6-bulb tek was too much light for my softies, the 4-bulb being more suitable. It all depends on what coral you're keeping!


Still haven't gotten around to doing the transfer. Have final exams next week, then three weeks off so I'll try to get it done during that break. I'll have pics when it all happens.

What'd I do?

Told ya

Any new pics? Any excitement?

Damn the schoolins make with the reefins!
