Elite Twit Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Great pics. I love that cap can't wait to get my new lighting so I can put one in the spot I'm saving for it. I haven't got my check either. I think I'm one of the last ones going by that list they said. Last two digits of your social security number. Link to comment
zhubbell Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 You're tank is ridiculously cool. If you're ever looking for an awesome custom acrylic tank taht you have some cool idea for, I would be interested in building you one at somewhere near cost if you would keep a thread on it like this one! Also - I have 5 really awesome monti caps growing in my 30g custom reef setup, the coolest one probably being neon green with bright blue polyps, once they grow alittle, maybe monti swap??

SeeDemTails Posted May 20, 2008 Author Share Posted May 20, 2008 Thanks, I would love to trade with you some time! Link to comment
Phixion Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Awesome pics on the previous page! I love the collection of zoas you have. And your 5.5 rimless almost resembles my AA 10g custom AIO tank I set up recently. Link to comment
SeeDemTails Posted May 20, 2008 Author Share Posted May 20, 2008 Thank you sir! Yeah, you see what I am talking about now, I put a bunch more corals in it.....It sure is easy to stock a 5.5 quick! I am also getting better lighting and putting a half canopy on it, like I kinda explained to you before. Link to comment
Phixion Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Thank you sir! Yeah, you see what I am talking about now, I put a bunch more corals in it.....It sure is easy to stock a 5.5 quick! I am also getting better lighting and putting a half canopy on it, like I kinda explained to you before. Right, I remember that discussion! I'm still eager to see the end result! And I agree, my AA AIo is already pretty stocked full. =/ I'm pretty close to getting the DIY 70w MH over the tank, just got to find a proper base to mount the security light to. I'm pretty confident of one I found at Wal-Mart of all places, I just gotta check it out in person to see if it'll actually suffice or not. I HATE having good parts sitting around doing nothing, lol!

SeeDemTails Posted May 20, 2008 Author Share Posted May 20, 2008 Yeah, I may go that route sooner than later, I looked at those fixtures the other day. Link to comment
nUgZ Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 The tank looks great!! I'm sorry I didn't make it over here before. I don't know what happened. Please forgive me..... Link to comment
SeeDemTails Posted May 21, 2008 Author Share Posted May 21, 2008 Lol I forgive ya, but only if you think about trading me some of them nifty corals you got sometime! Link to comment
nUgZ Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 You got it. We can do that whenever you want. Send me a PM when you're ready. Link to comment
spanko Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 How do you like the new tank location compared to the see thru location in the previous house? (I miss the look of the see thru!) Tank looks good in either place though you have some beautiful coral. Link to comment
SeeDemTails Posted May 24, 2008 Author Share Posted May 24, 2008 Sweet you got me thinking nugz! Thanks spanko, I really like the new location better because it is in my living room so I get to look at it all the time. The old location was between my kitchen sink and my hallway to the back door. I only got to look at it when I did the dishes lol. Plus, to show people the tank, you had to take them too it....in the living room you cant help but to look at it! Link to comment
jokercykoe Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 The 5.5 rimless looks good. Is it going to get its own thread? Link to comment
SeeDemTails Posted May 30, 2008 Author Share Posted May 30, 2008 Yeah, It will when it is ready, probably next week. It has corals and a cute little baby ora orchid dottyback in it now! I will post some pics of it later. I got some awesome new corals from yardboy too, I will take some pics of them tonight! Link to comment

Actually i'm trying to aquire an ORA Indigo dottyback. Talk about uber coolness! Link to comment
SeeDemTails Posted May 30, 2008 Author Share Posted May 30, 2008 We have a big indigo in one of our displays at the shop. They are cool. I had a Neon for years, I really like dottybacks when you have the tank for them. Link to comment
Phixion Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 They never seem to last more than a few months for me, then they go MIA. They aren't jumping though... Link to comment
SeeDemTails Posted May 31, 2008 Author Share Posted May 31, 2008 Ok time for a bunch of photos! Now that my tank is growing again I will start off with some growth pics! Blue polyp purple base Monti cap, growing quickly! 4/14 05/31 This is for the orange envys and the pink panthers, not next to each other anymore. 4/14 5/31 OE's PP's on left I dont know what these are but they like to grow! 4/14 5/31 Nuke Greens 4/14 5/31 Green monti cap 4/14 5/31 Ok enough growth pics, more cool stuff! Here is a nice what is it for you all!...It has clear polyps with white tips, a tan base, and the new growth is orange....SUPER COOL! I think it is some kind of encrusting porities of montipora, what do you think? One of my favorties, eye of rahs! Lettin it ride sideways Finished up the trim around the bottom, starting to look sleek. Link to comment
greeneyes Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 The pic of the little coral looks like porties to me. I have the same thing in my 55. Link to comment
yeast Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 I like your collection of zoanthids. Do you really have a sailfin tang and a mandarin in your 37 gallon? Link to comment
SeeDemTails Posted May 31, 2008 Author Share Posted May 31, 2008 Yeah, I sure do. The tang is approaching its limit even though it still has plenty of swimming room, and I will be moving it to my 60 hex for its next couple years. The mandarin is almost 4 months into the tank, and no signs of starvation what so ever. I feed it mysis or chopped shrimp every other day out of a tube....check out the feeding pics on page 11. The tank is also 2 years old, has a massive pod population and no other pod hunting fish. Thanks, I have 19 types right now and counting. Here are a few of the 5.5 rimless, 2.75 g of display volume. growth already. The tank started as a 5.5, and I divided it with a false back. It has no skimmer, just a 300gph pump with a split return, and the overflow is back into the rear area zero edge style. I plan on redoing the rockwork, and making a hood for it. All to come! Here are a few snap shots for now, a few corals and a cute little baby orchid dottyback. Link to comment
dtfleming Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 That's some nice growth pics, spec green cap. Link to comment
SeeDemTails Posted May 31, 2008 Author Share Posted May 31, 2008 Thanks, I love watching stuff grow! A few months and it will start looking grown out. I had a rockwork accident, one piece slipped and my elkhorn monti broke, so it will have to grow back! German blue digitata and purple death plays are coming tomorrow! I also finally ordered my second 150w halide. Cant wait to see how it looks with twice the shine! Link to comment
IdahoReef Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 I am setting up a standard 29 with a 20L sump. Your use of the orange (red??????? what's the difference?) cap as the centerpiece is exactly what I plan to do. I also liked your canyon aquascape and hope/plan to do something like that. So, what IS the difference between an orange or red cap? I am having a tough time deciding between that and the green with purple rim variety. Please check out my thread. Link to comment
