Pinner Reef Posted November 3, 2013 Author Share Posted November 3, 2013 Really lucky out here in Utah we have a sizble reef club. This weekend they held a mini convention. Was actually able to grab a couple peices I'd been looking for forever. http://s75.photobucket.com/user/g12052/media/40%20B/photobucket-11749-1383512292805_zps0c7208a7.jpg.html'> Swear that toadstool was more green. http://s75.photobucket.com/user/g12052/media/40%20B/photobucket-55022-1383512291598_zpsd5d577bd.jpg.html'> Gold Mauls, Purple Space Monsters, and a photobombing Sixline http://s75.photobucket.com/user/g12052/media/40%20B/photobucket-56985-1383512289045_zps5e559ef7.jpg.html'> I'm a fool for Favias http://s75.photobucket.com/user/g12052/media/40%20B/photobucket-44660-1383512289210_zpsd8a00cc2.jpg.html'> Link to comment
Pinner Reef Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 Rescaped the left side a bit.... Not entirely happy with it to tell the truth. Still gonna redo the right side so we'll see how it looks when thats done. http://s75.photobucket.com/user/g12052/media/40%20B/photobucket-60176-1384199476191_zpsea5e398f.jpg.html'> http://s75.photobucket.com/user/g12052/media/40%20B/photobucket-39028-1384199390104_zps04eee35c.jpg.html'> http://s75.photobucket.com/user/g12052/media/40%20B/photobucket-49634-1384199512192_zpsc03b4574.jpg.html'> Link to comment
Pinner Reef Posted November 30, 2013 Author Share Posted November 30, 2013 Thanks, gotta get to that right side for scaping (looks like a frag tank over there ). I've had some nice rocks in RO water for a couple weeks to cook out some phosphates but just beenin lazy. Link to comment
evanski Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 GREAT looking tank...you have some amaze-balls corals! Also like the new scape with a little more altitude. It certainly gives a more balanced top-to-bottom look overall, and gives you more real estate without losing the appeal of the open look. Following... Link to comment
Pinner Reef Posted December 8, 2013 Author Share Posted December 8, 2013 Thanks Evan, that makes three lol. Gonna redo the right side today after foosball and cleaning Link to comment
Pinner Reef Posted December 14, 2013 Author Share Posted December 14, 2013 Oookaay really gotta stop messin with this thing. Managed to break my grafted chalice, nearly kill my war coral by dipping it in freshwater for like 45min, annnd launch a huge phosphate spike which has everyone else angry at me. Still not in love with the right side but it'll add enough space for the zoa garden I want to rebuild. Lemme know what you think. http://s75.photobucket.com/user/g12052/media/40%20B/2013-12-13_13-04-28_39_zps55709c77.jpg.html'> http://s75.photobucket.com/user/g12052/media/40%20B/2013-12-13_13-04-04_157_zps92aca83c.jpg.html'> http://s75.photobucket.com/user/g12052/media/40%20B/2013-12-13_13-06-38_679_zps7358a41a.jpg.html'> The left side is more to my likeing, however gonna have to do somthing with that rounded red favia. http://s75.photobucket.com/user/g12052/media/40%20B/2013-12-13_13-07-30_926_zps21ce3836.jpg.html'> No it isn't the white balance or anything. Those corals really are that bleached thanks to me galavanting around for a few days while the timer on my halide failed to turn off the light. My roomate calls me up and asks "Hey that thing is supposed to go off for most of the day, right? Cause it's been on for like 36hrs." Friggin noob. http://s75.photobucket.com/user/g12052/media/40%20B/2013-12-13_13-34-08_618_zpsc95931fd.jpg.html'> Palau Nepth took the phospate spike as a sign it's time to sluff a layer of skin. Gonna move it somewhere else as well. http://s75.photobucket.com/user/g12052/media/40%20B/2013-12-13_13-34-29_128_zps637b780f.jpg.html'> Bad Pinner http://s75.photobucket.com/user/g12052/media/40%20B/2013-12-13_13-06-51_904_zps6b9ea77c.jpg.html'> Not as bad but still, grr. Gonna finish cutting it off and just trade it in for a zoa frag or sumthin. http://s75.photobucket.com/user/g12052/media/40%20B/2013-12-13_13-06-19_452_zps00c5b86e.jpg.html'> Bah! Not the best update. Link to comment
metrokat Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Aww. I'm sorry about the corals Pinner. I have some sweet favias and LPS to re-stock. Link to comment
Pinner Reef Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 Sup Kat! The corals are still alive and looking a bit better now that you helped me get my chemistry dialed in with your AWESOME ss gift! Funny you should mention the coral because I had just gone out shopping Got a deal on it and it looks like any other Lobo so I figured what the hell. Also this wicked lil flower nem. Really hopin he likes that cove there. And won't get big enough to eat fish I almost bought a Sunrise Dottyback... Stupid impulses Link to comment
Pinner Reef Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 It was the last of four Identical ones I had been watching in the LFS for like a month... and I was jelous of Danna. Link to comment
got2envy Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I love flower nems! I have 2 of them a green and a pink Link to comment
Pinner Reef Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 How the heck did I miss those wandering around your threads? Which tanK? You've got too much awesome! Link to comment
got2envy Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Haha the pink is in the nano cube and the green is hosted by a porcelain crab in my 40g I had a few red ones back in the day. They got really pricey for a while cause there was a big cold front in like 2010 that bleached them all in Florida waters, so they were all brown and poopy and the nice ones that the divers would find were going for like $65-100 a nem.

DannaM Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 It was the last of four Identical ones I had been watching in the LFS for like a month... and I was jelous of Danna. That flower nem is awesome !!!!! Love the color Link to comment

Pinner Reef Posted January 11, 2014 Author Share Posted January 11, 2014 January update! FTS Topdowns Problems: 1) My Bonzai decided to RTN on me... Saved enough to restart the colony thankfully. 2) I think I need to move my Digi. It's parked directly under the halide and bleached as fuc. The polyps extend but no color. Been reading the orange like a bit lower light. Finally I was able to put together a fun lil video. I'll post it soon Thanks for stoppin by! Link to comment
metrokat Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Tank looks good, do you have a moonlight? I bet some of those LPS look insane under actinics. Link to comment
Pinner Reef Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 No moonlight, that's all halide shimmer. Sadly my phone's camera can't capture the colors but the tank GLOWS under my actinics. Link to comment
Pinner Reef Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 Got2Envy hooked me up with some Blue Scroll Macro! It has a cool iridescent quality about it that can only be seen at certain angles. Thanks chica!!!! It's funny; when I started doing serious research on this macro your threads were mentioned all over the net. You're an inspiration! Link to comment
gena Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Awesome collection of corals you have!!!! Your new rock flower anemone looks similar to my newest one. It's not as deep orange as yours (needs to color up) but it has the purple mouth. Link to comment
Pinner Reef Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 Thanks Gena! We need to trade somtime!!! I've actually been diversifying as of late because it's hard to find happy spots for the larger colonies... also I miss my zoa garden. Loving the RFA. It's taking it's sweet time settling in tho. Stupid thing just wanders back and forth across the front of that same rock. Link to comment
got2envy Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I am so glad the macro made it ok Tank looks great...I love the mix of corals you have. Link to comment
DannaM Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Loving the contrast with the black sand...also I WANT that nem Link to comment
