Calvin415's LED lit 12 footer

[caddyshack]

Thanks everyone for the continued support and feedback... So far nothing is terrible regards to the tank (other than a broken bulb that has the center lights out of commission ATM), just busy trying to deal with a number of issues at the moment and dealing with stress. I have a number of projects I'm trying to get done for fellow reefers, a baby due in the next 4 weeks (so he could show up any day), taxes, new business ventures, hosting club events, and to make matters all the more stressful, I'm down over $40k in the stock market.

 

I will be taking some time from work when the baby arrives, and hope to get some things done around the house (hoping it will calm my nerves). I'll be sure to post more as things calm down.

yea my dad lost in the stock market to no one is winning thanks obama thanks a bunch

[burrito]

wow i just skimmed through all 52 pages so far and this tank is amazing. great job and congrats on the new addition to the family.

[calvin415]

Thanks everyone for the well wishes, I promise new pics as soon as I get the center section light up again (broken bulb) but I'll be getting all 3 sections matched when I do... I'm expecting a dividend check in a week (at least I still have that...) so new pics should be soon. I did add 1 favia, 1 blasto, 7 micro's and 7 acans last night (all frags) but all are super L.E. so I can't wait to share some pics. Acan Island has begun!

Seriously? Let's keep this thread on reef related stuff.

[Gerber77]

Thats awesome Calvin I cant wait to see the pics.

When I get the cash to build my own house, instead of just buying like I've already done, your tank is what I want in my home office! I'm just having to get by with small tanks for now, but you've got the pinnacle of reefing, right at home! At this point, I think I'd just be happy to live on Acan Island. (sure would beat law school, anyways )

[jerzsky]

[calvin415]

Thanks everyone! It's our 3rd boy... We are destined to have a house of Chaos.

 

Well I started feeling really guilty and while I'm waiting on approval from the boss (aka wife) to get the replacement bulb, I decided to move the corals to one end to get some pics as least. I hope you guys feel special. LOL!

[Militant Jurist]

Those are all great pictures and great corals!

 

I'm curious though, do you know what the name of the red zoas in this picture? I have the same combination of RDE and the second zoa.

Thanks bud! I fed them 3 times last night, hopefully they will heal and start growing quickly so I can begin to expand the collection.

No clue... Got them from a friend and don't I follow the zoanthid names at all.

Thanks! Def one of my fav's if not my fav... I got them from a fellow reefer who got them online.

I guess neither, I got them local from another reefer... He did get them online though (I think).

Might be red light green lights. They grow red and green morphs of the same zoa. Color just depends on the specific polyp and what color it feels like turning.
