kennerd Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 OK, here are some of the interesting new finds, and not all of them are in the nanos. My photographic abilities are far from stellar, and the lighting in each of the tanks are vastly different, so cut me some slack in advance OK, 4" Golden Teardrop Maxima in the 65 gal. I placed in in the folds of a monster Pagoda Cup coral that's shaped like a big W. The apartment next to him is reserved for a Black/White maxima once I find it. Link to comment
kennerd Posted November 22, 2003 Author Share Posted November 22, 2003 And a wider view. The clam has already attached as of this morning. The Pagoda doesn't seem all that happy with the new situation, but wait until the clam starts to bore in. Link to comment
kennerd Posted November 22, 2003 Author Share Posted November 22, 2003 And through the top of the tank Link to comment
skylsdale Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 Very cool glam--not as "gawdy" as some teardrops can get. Personal preference, though. How about a full tanker? Link to comment
kennerd Posted November 22, 2003 Author Share Posted November 22, 2003 Now, the Montipora Danae that a local feller found and split with me pale lavender skeleton, tomato red polyps. Skylsdale: I'll take one tonight. It's a 65 gal SPS/Clam tank. Link to comment
kennerd Posted November 22, 2003 Author Share Posted November 22, 2003 And, crappy picture, but another small rock with two varieties of red encrusting monti.....the nearer looks like a strawberry, and has widely spaced purple/blue polyps when open and has a very smooth surface. The other is more of a rusty color with rough surface. Looks like the two colonies grew into one another, and there's a canyon right in between. Link to comment
skylsdale Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 Cool. How fast is the growth on those monti's...the danae especially? Link to comment
dickie52 Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 You dirty dog...... nice...... Link to comment
caja Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 Very nice Ken. Next investment needs to be a tripod so you can get clearer shots. Link to comment
kennerd Posted November 22, 2003 Author Share Posted November 22, 2003 Skylsdale: Pretty amazing: since I put the montis in the tank last night, they have growth about 50%! Wow, frags for everyone!! Will keep everyone posted on growth rates: would like to get this one spread around to a bunch of the good little kiddies in Nano-Land. Dickie: I like duck, bro, and you don't have to declare frags as receipt of payment on yur taxes.....let you know when we come up there to do a little fishing & golfing, drop by and see you. Caj: Got one down at the garage. Racing season is over, so I can snag it back. The boys have been using it to film runs down @ the track. In terms of the shots you see, DT's are most likely to blame.... and I don't mean phyto. Link to comment
birdman204 Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 LOL. Racing? What kind?? Stop crying over your maxima !!! Your spillin tears everywhere! A Nice camera makes all the difference!!! I saw some pics of my tank taken thru over 1500$ In camera equip...Whew! I wouldn;t een agree with you if you said the pics were from my tank! Monti Danae is nice, I saw the clear picture the other day, so I know what you're showing... . Sweet. Link to comment
kennerd Posted November 23, 2003 Author Share Posted November 23, 2003 Bracket drag. (Oh crap, that's going to set off Sea's alert, isn't it). Link to comment
kennerd Posted November 25, 2003 Author Share Posted November 25, 2003 WOW. Just got a call from the guy that split the Danae with me and he just found one in the opposite color: red skeleton w/ blue polyps. Hot diggity. Link to comment
FlyGTI Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 Lucky man, Ken. That other pic of the danae looked sweet! I'll make sure to be a good kiddie in nanoland for a chunk of that one. Link to comment
kennerd Posted November 26, 2003 Author Share Posted November 26, 2003 Skylsdale: I'm either never home when the halides are on these days, or, like today, am reminded to pop them on early, in order to take pics with the digital camera that is siting on my desk @ work. Top that off with the fact that my dinosaur laptop that I have here @ home doesn't have USB (WIN 95), I can't upload pics from here anyway. Patience, grasshopper. I'll dig up a few pics on the office computer. They're outdated, but then you'll have a reference point for the new ones. Link to comment
FlyGTI Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 Good grief Ken...they use those laptops for boat anchors these days. Link to comment
kennerd Posted November 26, 2003 Author Share Posted November 26, 2003 Yep, but I need to rebuild my Dell. Works fine, though! Link to comment
kennerd Posted November 26, 2003 Author Share Posted November 26, 2003 OK, found this pic from Feb of 2003: looks very different now, but this is a starting point. Link to comment
kennerd Posted November 26, 2003 Author Share Posted November 26, 2003 Latest frag trade just came through: Blue softy from FlyGTI! Link to comment

Note to self: If in LFS and there is a rare coral for a good price, do not try to bargain for a better price, even if there is a small bleached spot. Tends to #### the owner off and the tend to, in turn, throw you out of the store. Oh, and DEFINITELY don't do this when you've already called someone else to split the coral with you. Yep, that's what this guy did. Might have to take a ride on Friday & keep it all for myself. Link to comment
kennerd Posted November 30, 2003 Author Share Posted November 30, 2003 pics tomorrow of some interesting things. None the least of which, I found my green clown goby! He'd been living in the sump area of the 7 cube and I never saw him: too tiny. Kim noticed him today when she was looking for the green dragon wrasse that jumped back there, too. (Yeah, not reaf safe, but cool pics tomorrow.) Link to comment
dickie52 Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 Great....going to hold you to it..... Link to comment
kennerd Posted December 1, 2003 Author Share Posted December 1, 2003 for pics of the 7 gal cube, pop onto the new website: www.kennerd.com Here are a few pics of new goodies in the 65 gal New baby crocea (2") that looks much better housed into the pagoda: from the front of the tank Through the top of the tank New harlequin shrimp mated pair....traded a bunch of acro frags for these guys last week. And for Caja: the new $7 alevopora frag that's in the 7 gal cube tank: and last a pic of the new Green Dragon Wrasse that is so totally not reef-safe, and is being sold tomorrow: Link to comment
caja Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Neat Ken! Those harlequins are cool as hell. Link to comment
