MitchReef Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 That snail is MASSIVE!!!! He actually has a Drivers License!!!! Nearly 3 inches tall...no kidding! And as dumb as a bag of hair!!!! Link to comment
ss21 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Well at least you probably have no algae present. You should glue a zoa frag or two on him. He could be like a moving show piece. hahahaha Link to comment
buckeyes2k7 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Well at least you probably have no algae present. You should glue a zoa frag or two on him. He could be like a moving show piece. hahahaha I actually have a hermit with a mushroom attached to the shell. Link to comment
MitchReef Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 And we won't even talk about hermits.....they even make the snail look smart!!!! I had a decorator crab years ago who wandered around with zoas on his back..... Link to comment
schgr.cube Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Mitch, I close all week, but am hoping to have sunday and monday off (monday is a special day, so alison might give me some spending money for the tank that day). We will definitely make it over either of those nights for sure. Link to comment
MitchReef Posted October 21, 2010 Author Share Posted October 21, 2010 That sounds like a plan. I ought to be around Sunday most all day and then on Monday evening regular. I gots plans for your tanky, dude..... Link to comment

MitchReef Posted October 22, 2010 Author Share Posted October 22, 2010 I see a massive Acropora Garden on a small scale....fishes winding through the outstretched jungle of limbs....(LOL) Link to comment
d9hp Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Some of your most recent acquisitions made my jaw hit the floor. Frog in a Blender birdsnest?! That's so green! Link to comment
MitchReef Posted October 25, 2010 Author Share Posted October 25, 2010 You should have seen the colony that RTN'ed. It was softball sized. Link to comment
MitchReef Posted October 25, 2010 Author Share Posted October 25, 2010 I made myself a Top-Down box a few months ago and found just how cumbersome they can be, and also what a fight reflection is when trying to snap photos, so I got thinking and came up with a schmarttt idea...How bout a custom fit attached photo box!!!! (Please excuse my sloppy acrylic work, this is a prototype and may very well get replaced with a more refined version) And now for a few of the resulting Top-Down shots.... Montipora confusa colony Shoulda seen it before I fragged the entire top 4 layers off Purple Slimer ORA Blue Bottlebrush ORA Borealis Rainbow Monti colony with a few others around the edges WWC Frankenberry Monti Insane Unique Corals Blastomussa wellsi (a bit of a long zoom and crop shot, sorry) Nuclear Greens, Oregon Blue Tort and Happy Isa Clam Whammin Watermelons, Green Men From Mars, Bullseyes and wicked Rainbow Zoas (and an unspecified purple/blue mille) Tyree Dinosaur Egg Monti frag I like my new toy, but have a couple of ideas for the final version.

MitchReef Posted October 26, 2010 Author Share Posted October 26, 2010 I scored in a MAJOR WAY earlier today...Two new Z's n P's frags...They have just been in my tank for like 15 minutes now, so we cannot expect much, but here are a couple of teaser pictures.... Right after it went in: After a mere 3 minutes: And finally, after just 16 minutes: That's right, a Genuine Mindblowing Paly!!!! Who Dah! named it, he got it from WWC, they got it from the guy I got it from! How's that for lineage!!! Number two is still being shy, but I will put up a teaser picture of it too: Stay tuned for more..I will pop up a pic when they start opening! Link to comment
hookedonreef-er Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 That ORA bottlebrush is sick!!! Awesome shots and i dig the underwater camera set up Link to comment
MitchReef Posted October 26, 2010 Author Share Posted October 26, 2010 Preciate that. The next camera box will be about an inch longer. It's tough getting angled shots without dipping the camera, and straight down shots are shadowed! The Bottlebrush was totally brown when I got it. Did you see the Acro Crab's legs? He's hiding in the pic! Link to comment
MitchReef Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 They're peeking.... Any time now...pics still to follow.... Link to comment
ap123 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 That photo of the Montipora Confusa colony is insane! Beautiful pics, and incredible corals Link to comment
MitchReef Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 Thanks a bunch, I'm actually more fond of this shot.... Link to comment
MitchReef Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 Okay so the second frag isn't open yet and the lights are going down so I will just say it...it is a 3 head Rasta frag....I had a very good day today! Link to comment
Zo0k365 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Damn dude the colors you have in this tank are insane. What kind of bulb are you using? Also that's a very nice looking paly. Link to comment
MitchReef Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 Thanks, that Paly was a real surprise...it was a Bonus frag too!!!! Dude took major care of me.... I have Phoenix MH and Geisemann Actinic+ supplementation, I use Ocean's Blend two-part and will not change from that combination. It just works.... Link to comment
MitchReef Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 My new Rastas were open when I got home from work this afternoon.... Love them.... Link to comment
schgr.cube Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Nice, I love rastas. Nice score on that one! Mitch, my phones ####ed up again. I went to T-Mobile, and they basically told me that I can exchange it for another phone, but everything that is decent is going to cost me some more money. So I'm waiting until my last possible day to exchange (next wed) so I can see what I can afford. In the meantime, phone use is sporadic, works only in 3G areas apparently... PS, how many frags do you have for me? I think I convinced Alison to let me buy some stuff from you, just need to figure out how much to ask for. Link to comment
MitchReef Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 Isn't it a new phone? They ought to exchange it for one that works right.....I hate the whole cell phone racket.... Thanks for the good words on the Rastas...I'm totally pumped about them... Give me a call when you can. Link to comment
Captain Billy Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Yeah when those rastas grow I'm gonna need some!!! Link to comment
MitchReef Posted October 29, 2010 Author Share Posted October 29, 2010 Okey Dokey...You're on the list.....I gotta figure out what you need for a frag of that new one you mentioned on the phone tonight...can't wait for tomorrow's swap! Link to comment
