Just waiting for one of the new additions to open up all the way.

I just spent about 3 hours taking pictures and my computer automatically deleted them all from the computer and my camera's memory card for no apparent reason.

I added a ton of new stuff, the canopy is done, my nimble magnet cleaner should have shipped out this weekend, and I am getting a shipment of super nice palys/zoas on Tuesday. I'll post pictures soon.

Clown?

oh, im not getting a no stripe anymore BTW
also the tank looks nice.. like the toadstool

where do you see that?

Sorry for the long wait. I've been super busy with the holidays and work. Here are the new additions.

VERY NICE!!!!! Just need a fish.

and a FTS ^^

amazing tank!

Thanks guys! I really appreciate the compliments. Don't worry, I'm workin on a fish. The one I want has been a PITA to get my hands on. Check back often as I'll be making my trip down to atlantis aquarium soon and will be picking up some nice frags from the LFS once they get their shipment in. Anyone know of some good online reatailers for LPS/zoas/softies/rics ect. ?

Thought I'd share some more pics from farther away.

I finally got the no stripe clowns! There pretty sweet! Pics up shortly.

Here are the two!

this one explores everywhere


this one has sideburns!

how much did you get those clown for?

Very nice. I'll start on your new sig asap

RP Beesh, I got them for only $80 but I had to wait months to get them.

OR, thanks!

Also my canopy is finally finished and I'll be posting pictures soon.

awesome clowns!

Thanks Travisurfer!
Something I found really interesting is that I have been running the bio-wheel for about 2 months now and my nitrates are 0 with the salifert test kit. Also, I've only been doing weekly 1/2 gallon water changes. I'll be keeping track of nitrates for the rest of the contest so we'll see if the bio-wheel really does cause your nitrates to slowly build up.

Ok Pico, you have two choices, unless you want me to change something...

Woah Dude!
Lookin REALLY good, Jordan!
D

OR, that 2nd one is perfect! Thanks!
FL, Thanks! Your tank is one of my favorites on n-r.com.

No problem. I kinda figured you would pic the second one because of the highlights, it.... as my art teacher would say, it pops out more

Wow. The neon green toad, green ric, and no stripe are awesome!

interesting to see how that will play out. perhaps that was just a rumor by someone that wasnt a very good aquarist.

Thanks lgreen!

Finally, a good full tank shot! It took me about 50 pictures to get one where the corals looked good and the clowns were in focus. I'll be getting a new camera soon.



BTW the new corals are the pink/orange/blue/green yuma on the lower left side and the purple blastos with green mouths on the lower right side.

Very nice pico1. I'll have to say I wouldn't mind having your neon-green centered candycanes either.

I've been thinking about doing a pair of regular perculas, but haven't decided yet. Not sure if I even want to deal with the extra bioload of keeping and feeding any fish.

I think a pair of clowns would be a total chick magnet at the dorms though. lol.

Very nice, Pico. Love the clowns.

Just show them your cleaner shrimp and how it cleans your hand

Your tank is awesome Pico! Those clowns are killer! Sweet corals!

Nice stuff. SUPER green 3" ric.... you're not kidding! Where did you score that Ric?

Thanks Clifford! Just wait til I get back from my trip to the SF bay area after new years. I'll be picking up some of the nicest stuff for this tank there.

mahi mahi boy, thanks. I got it from a local reefer who has a few awesome tanks. She has a couple of that same ricordia that are 5" across.

Here are some new pictures.
new ric

new blastos

Very nice

Very nice indeed.

Nice pics! The green ric looks awesome!

Thanks guys! I'll be making my trip down to the bay area and finishing my collection for this tank this week.

hey i got a pair of those clownfish but neither of mine has the side burns...lol

ive been wanting a pair of those for a while after we got some at my lfs but i just never bought them bec the shipment we got in were all sick and after that we never got any more so

Elvis is aa perfect name imo there great looking

They really are neat clownfish with a lot of personality. Here are some pictures of the stuff I got in the bay area and a few under water shots. I also got a new camera for x-mas (olympus 720 SW).

great tank!!

Thanks Brian! The new camera makes the tank look WAY more like it does in person.

wow, freakin sweet tank! Loving the new pictures!

I got the Sony Cybershot DSCW-100 a few months ago.... i love it, but i still struggle with tank shots. YOur new camera handles it nicely!

Very nice. If you dont mind me asking, how much did you shell out for those blue zoa's

looking good i like the aquascape

wow, this tank is really coming along. very nice!

your tank is AMAZING!!

Thanks everyone! I appreciate it. OR, I got a good deal on them since I bought a pre-fragged piece from the display tank. $40 for 5-6 polyps when they normally are $15 per polyp.
