Crakeur Posted July 12, 2003 Author Share Posted July 12, 2003 this is the top half showing the lights and the legs. Bruce at PSL was instrumental in getting this done right. Link to comment

Crakeur Posted July 12, 2003 Author Share Posted July 12, 2003 frogspawn. this little guy is about a nickle wide and only three inches long. (jct members, please don't bother) Link to comment
T?@7 Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 I wish I had A TEENY spawn like that, thats awesome! I saw it in the big pic and was like WTF is that! Link to comment
Crakeur Posted July 12, 2003 Author Share Posted July 12, 2003 T, I have two 150 watt hqi halides (10k, might be replaced with 20K) and one 55 watt powercompact actinic. I'll be replacing the pc soon as the bulb stinks. on with the photos. one of my rics. I got a bunch of these from palmettoreefs and a couple broke loose. nice hitchhiker on the next photo.

Crakeur Posted July 12, 2003 Author Share Posted July 12, 2003 double hitcher shot. there is a red fan worm that came on one of the ricordia rocks and the bottom of the pic is a large sponge that grew out of the live rock Link to comment
Crakeur Posted July 12, 2003 Author Share Posted July 12, 2003 xenia. Satchmo gave me two frags. one, a three headed colony drifted into the back of the tank and is attached to the glass in the lower left corner, surrounded by rics and other shrooms that broke loose. the other colony, seen here, broke loose and was lost for a day. I found it in the skimmer, getting churned. It survived the powerhead and it survived the skimmer. It has attached to the rock and is pulsing away. It's in a real strong current area now but the pic came out allright. Link to comment
Crakeur Posted July 12, 2003 Author Share Posted July 12, 2003 lastly, a closer shot of the slimer. nice acro but the tips were damaged in shipping. Time will tell if it does ok. Link to comment
reefphreak Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 Hey Crak, How many lbs of rock ya got in that nice tank of yours? Link to comment
Crakeur Posted July 12, 2003 Author Share Posted July 12, 2003 god knows. I ordered the lalo from fostersmith and they sent me way more than the 36 pounds I ordered. I put most of it in but tossed one massive rock that weighed at least 15 pounds. nice one too but the tank was full and it was too cloudy to see what I was doing and it stunk. the rock cycled in a massive stinky three week period and I am starting to see signs of some nice green and orange and purple popping up, along with some sponges and other little oddities.

reefphreak Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 Good luck with it Crak. It looks good to me.. Link to comment
Crakeur Posted July 12, 2003 Author Share Posted July 12, 2003 thanks reef. the lights are a bit too yellow for my taste but they are new and will burn a bit and maybe soften in the yellow tint. I will probably get some more corals (thinking the softie pack from phishybusiness) and some fish in a week or two. I forgot how crazy I was with spending on the livestock. I waste hours each day checking out a zillion sites looking for stuff Link to comment
T?@7 Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 Damn, thats a Shyza load of light! Link to comment
Crakeur Posted July 12, 2003 Author Share Posted July 12, 2003 clam and sps central I hope Link to comment
caja Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 You're off to a really good start. Lots of room for growth in there. I have a large zoo rock I got yesterday that has a half dollar size chunk of zoos kind of barely hanging on. Say the word and I'll pluck them off and send them your way. Link to comment
