jdsabin1 Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 Well some changes to my tank since my last series of pics. I changed the background to black, took out (or so I thought) my xenia, pruned back the anthelia and added a new platygyra, mauve zoos, tulip anenomes, multi-colored open brain, and two mini-carpet anenomes. I also moved some corals around as well (and even had my orange monti dig fall over and get stung by my killer frogspawn ... damn I was ####ed but it's on the road to recovery after some epoxy is now holding the rock it was on in place). This will probably be the last time I take a whole tank shot as I am upgrading to a new 20 long setup with fuge, skimmer and more lights (and more corals). I need more space! Here is the mini-carpet. Fascinating animal. Moves around some but so far has stayed where I can see him. I'm a sucker for brain coral of any sort (closed brain, open brain, favia, whatever). Here is my new platygyra that I chose to be my centerpiece in the top-center of the tank: My SPS corals are all doing well. Here is a close-up shot of my green mont digi that was stubbier when I first got him: Another new coral is this batch of zoos. The color is very pleasing to the eye and they seem to be very healthy: Here is my purple tipped acro that is growing fine but with the PC's, the color just isn't very flashy. Perhaps positioning and brighter lights will help that in the new tank: More pics coming. Link to comment
jdsabin1 Posted July 6, 2003 Author Share Posted July 6, 2003 My new open brain that swallowed down a piece of silversides last night. So far he seems dumb, fat and happy: My tulip that split. The copper zoos next to them don't seem to thrilled to be this close so I will have to do something about that: I thought I had all my pest xenia out but a few days after I had fragged it all out, here is what I find happening. Good lord this stuff is the dandelions of the sea I swear. Anyone ever see the movie 'What About Bob?'. The scene where Dreyfuss goes 'You think he's gone? He's NEVER gone! You see!'. Same deal with the xenia. Link to comment

LiQuiD Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 As with my wife, I not only love your tank for its looks, but I love its brain as well. Link to comment

cmoreash Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 groovy tank, the tulip anemones though, aren't those majanos? Link to comment
jdsabin1 Posted July 7, 2003 Author Share Posted July 7, 2003 It depends on who you talk to. I know a lot of NR's have these 'Tulip' anenomes and haven't had an issue and insist these are not majanos but something different. I've had these two now for a little while with no indication that they are going to take over the tank so if they are majanos(sp) I just haven't seen any indicators that they are taking over as a pest anenome. Only time will tell I guess. Link to comment
drdrew Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 ditto on the beautiful tank. ditto on the mojano question. Link to comment
FlyGTI Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 That thing looks better and better every time I see pictures of it. Just imagine what the 20 will look like with a blue background! Kara tried to catch you before you and your son left last night. She was going to give you that spray paint of ours. I think there's just about enough left to do a 20, so if you want it, let me know.

heuerfan Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 Me like your tank, very colorufl! Also like the grama too! Kinda reminds me of my tank:P Link to comment
Sahin Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 I really do think those look like Mojano's. I had one in my tank for about 6 months. it was just the one. There are now about 10 of them. Luckily my tank is to be taken down and upgraded very soon, so I can deal with them. Anyway, I sure do like the look of the tank. I love the arrangment of the corals and the colours are amazing. : Link to comment
