Osric Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I'd buy a used Canon XT or XTi (Digital Rebel) from someone upgrading, and a macro lens. The lens used should run you a few hundred, not sure what the used body is worth. Must be stuff like this at your local camera shop or e-bay... Osric Link to comment

ryanmilo Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 was bored tonight.... [a ttachment=58006:fishtank0419_060.jpg][atta chment=58008:fishtank0419_089.jpg] I attached a GSP frag on my back wall, I know it grows like a weed. Blenny is happy, Xenia is out of control, Zoas are exploding! Link to comment
ryanmilo Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 Thanks MGD. I am now trying to corner my emerald cause after eating my frogspawn he is after one of my favorite zoas. Why does he go after all the good stuff? Link to comment
TriggerHappyDude Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Cool Ryan, looking great. Are you using your clear glass top all day and night or how often? Link to comment
kdog1000 Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I see your ordered the Tunze ATO. How is that working out for you? Beautiful tank by the way Link to comment
ryanmilo Posted April 25, 2009 Author Share Posted April 25, 2009 I dont keep anything on the top, I used to keep egg crate but I didnt like the look of anything on the top. KDog I was suggested the Tsunami by two of my LFS and it works great. It is slim and fits right in the back. Thanks for the compliment. As of now I think I have seen the light, I have been to my local reef forums and found some great frags you dont see in our stores that I have been buying. Yesterday I purchased a pink birdsnest w/ yellow tips and a Tubs purple polyps birdnest(very cool). Some blue steel paly's and purple deaths, and carlito alien eye paly. I am getting rid of most of the common frags I have and starting fresh. Pics will follow Sunday! Picking up a small frag of fire nad Ice Sunday! Link to comment
ryanmilo Posted May 19, 2009 Author Share Posted May 19, 2009 Tank has been doing really well. Lots of new SPS Paly's and Zoas. Just ordered the Pheonix bulb 250W 14k it will be here in 7 days. Figure my tank is about 4 months now or so, time to do it soon anyhew. Pics maybe later today! Link to comment

ryanmilo Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share Posted May 20, 2009 I blew a hole in my kitchen wall to the living room where it sits under my couch. Hope it doesnt get hot! Link to comment
davidr2340 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I blew a hole in my kitchen wall to the living room where it sits under my couch. Hope it doesnt get hot! Right on. I just want mine out of my stand, but out of sight??? Link to comment
ryanmilo Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share Posted May 20, 2009 Yeah I have several things plugged in the living room. didnt want to overload one plug so I am using 3. My cabinet is pretty organized. I only have my ATO bucket ( an old garbage pail that I never used from an office shredder) and one basket with my supplies. Im kinda anal like that. Link to comment

ryanmilo Posted May 23, 2009 Author Share Posted May 23, 2009 Thank you. Absolutely has a ton of personality. He is an african midas blenny so is a little larger. He loves my cleaner shrimp picking at him also, quite funny! Link to comment

ryanmilo Posted June 6, 2009 Author Share Posted June 6, 2009 Thanks, I think he did the tile surfin cause I left my fans off by accident today and my tank was up to 86 degrees. I bummed I made the mistake. I came in for lunch today and changes my floss real quick, took the fans off and forgot to replace them. I was in a hurry. Only one fish now... Link to comment

d'Espresso Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Im digging your aquascape bro, how long did it took you to scape it. Any new updates! Link to comment
ryanmilo Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 Thanks d'espresso! It took me a few times to get it how I wanted it, I did get a new midas blenny, and lots more corals. I am also looking into getting a clown and anenome soon. I did get some gootchers, nuclear greens, a decent sized candy cane, fire and ice, and some other cool frags. I am trading now with my local reef club and getting rid of a lot of my common stuff. I am picking up some armor of gods, blue marshmellow and whatever my wallet holds Sunday. Huge difference in tank appearance, will post some pics on Sunday! Oh also a clam for my birthday July 26th, my tank should be well seasoned then! Link to comment
