Tenacious716 Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Damn... I LOVE your tank man, and those fire red zoanthids are amazing! In the US, most of your zoas are called "Japanese" and/or "Deepwater" and are quickly becoming popular and showing up in LFS's. Add a few more zoas to the beautiful garden and please my eyes! Keep us posted... as you can see, I only reply when it's worthwhile! Link to comment

Jasoncgnu Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Great colors! I really like this tank. Link to comment
disaster999 Posted May 24, 2009 Author Share Posted May 24, 2009 thanks =) your cat is pretty cool too. i like the pattern on his/her head just came back from the states, brought back some goodies with me...reefgeek/aquailliumination T5HO reflectors to replace my fishneedit crap. excuse the ghettoness, gonna make a wood box to frame it. this is just temp. FTS so far i can tell its brighter than before. the polyp extension on my SPS is more, and my clams arent reaching for the light as much. definitely gonna keep an eye on the growth. Link to comment
crrichey Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 The new lighting looks awesome like that man! Link to comment
disaster999 Posted May 25, 2009 Author Share Posted May 25, 2009 thanks. now i just need to get the canopy made Link to comment
latteslave Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Very nice build! The prices you were saying are just NUTS... Tagging along. Link to comment
Jasoncgnu Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 thanks =) your cat is pretty cool too. i like the pattern on his/her head Thanks, he's a little fat (about 20lbs) but he's good company. I like the new lights! Can't wait to see the canopy. Do you have a membership to a woodshop or do you know someone with the tools? Link to comment
disaster999 Posted May 25, 2009 Author Share Posted May 25, 2009 im probably gonna go have the shop where i got my tank made make the canopy as well. not sure about prices tho. Link to comment
pimp4cheddar Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Nice looking tank...I might have missed it...but what bulbs are you running? Thanks, Link to comment
disaster999 Posted May 30, 2009 Author Share Posted May 30, 2009 im running ati actinic, aquablue plus, aquablue special and KZ fiji color went and got some new addition to the tank zoa with orange ring and a blue center, ive never seen these before unfortunately my bi color blenny died for some reason, went and got another blenny. my milli seem to react pretty good to the new light the base is really spreading and new polyp is forming Link to comment
disaster999 Posted June 3, 2009 Author Share Posted June 3, 2009 dont usually post up actinic shots, but i gave it another shot last night. turned out pretty good i think Link to comment
disaster999 Posted June 10, 2009 Author Share Posted June 10, 2009 havent post up a FTS in a while, so here it is a crappy picture of the orange and blue zoa Link to comment
disaster999 Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share Posted June 11, 2009 someone locally had some baby black clown fish so i went and picked 2 up. he said around 2cm long, but it looks a lot smaller than what it seemed. heres a size comparison of how small they are close up is it a good idea to have them inside that breeder box? im afraid my blenny will see them as food, also the strong currents might swept them into some place they shouldnt be or even down the overflow Link to comment
spazizz Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 your tank is so sik, im jealous. i am not worthy. Link to comment
disaster999 Posted June 16, 2009 Author Share Posted June 16, 2009 thanks =) its not hard to get your tank to look like that. just takes time and patients. Link to comment
disaster999 Posted June 27, 2009 Author Share Posted June 27, 2009 heres a small update, this is what my SPS looks like right now. it doesnt look too happy. is it because i dont have enough flow, or is it my water? there was a recent drop in alk so im not sure if that affects anything sun coral some green zoas here are the 2 baby clowns. you can clearly see which one is the male and female lastly, never in my mind i would find this snail here. anyone wanna take a guess?

disaster999 Posted June 27, 2009 Author Share Posted June 27, 2009 nope, not an astrea. Link to comment
disaster999 Posted July 19, 2009 Author Share Posted July 19, 2009 nothing really changed, i think my red people eater is slowly melting away for some reason. some pods were picking on it the other day. i moved it to where my clownfish are held at the moment but doesnt look too good on the other hand, got myself a new hood just gotta wait a few more months before ill get the new cabinet and move the tank to a new location Link to comment
