Tigahboy Posted September 16, 2009 Author Share Posted September 16, 2009 Long time no see tigah....Glad to see you got back in the hobby awesome tank Heyyyy! It's definitely been awhile. Good hearing from you. I've been eyeing a new acan as well.... photos of your new acan might be enough to push me over the edge! Do it! This tank is truly inspiring.Great work. I liked it barebottom. Very nice of you to say. But to the bb comment. Hahah. Quote Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted September 16, 2009 Author Share Posted September 16, 2009 New page, so new photos. (The color seems different now from when I first got it) On a down note, my Tubb's blues don't look so hot. Not quite sure what the prob is. Definitely no pests (I dip and inspect like crazy) and all water params are fine. Quote Link to comment
divecj5 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Great new shots on the Acan and the War Coral....two amazing pieces. Sorry to hear about the Tubs though...I had the same thing happen to a frag of Tubs and Nucs. Never could figure out what their problem was so I got rid of them. For some reason, LPS and SPS do great in my tank but I can't keep Z's or P's for the life of me. Maybe the tank water is too clean?? -Adam Quote Link to comment
Deleted User 6 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 my tubs went through a rough patch (all my zoas occasionally close up for no good reason). I haven't figured it out either. Quote Link to comment

bob21115 Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Hey guys: Are these Mini Maxi Nems? Up till the other day I thought they were just mushrooms. I don;t have them anymore but they are on my digital pic frame at my desk. I caught a glimpse of them the other day and thought they were nems. Quote Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share Posted September 17, 2009 Hey guys: Are these Mini Maxi Nems? Up till the other day I thought they were just mushrooms. I don;t have them anymore but they are on my digital pic frame at my desk. I caught a glimpse of them the other day and thought they were nems. Those don't look like maxi minis to me. The skirts look different. But I'm no expert on maxi minis. your tank is hawt I think I just got the same acan in your sig banner. Will post in a few. slow this thread down mang.... your going to make us all look bad. I'm probably going to slow down now. My wallet needs a break. Quote Link to comment
its fry Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 (edited) Got a chance to watch your vids. Great stuff. Is the wave created from the vortex alone?! One thing I've learned in this thread: 'stopping home on lunch' is essential to a great reef. Edited September 17, 2009 by its fry Quote Link to comment

One thing I've learned in this thread: 'stopping home on lunch' is essential to a great reef. Yup, one vortech for all that wave action. I came home today for lunch to acclimate my new additions as well. Eats up my lunch break (especially after doing my 3 part dipping routine), but totally worth it! Quote Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share Posted September 17, 2009 Newest additions to mi familia! I hate using the term "rainbow" loosely, but maybe some kind of quasi-rainbow acan lord? Blues and Mean Greens. This colony is definitely too big for the space I have for it, so will be cutting what I need and selling/trading the rest, along with a couple other zoa colonies I just got in. And on a positive note, my Tubbs blues look better today! Yay! Quote Link to comment
bluenassarius Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 nice pick ups. i scored me a minefield cyphastrea today. are you running t5 or halides? or combo? this is what it looked like under t5. all the acans look better under flourescent lighting for me. Quote Link to comment

jeremai Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 oomph, I definitely need to move back to california soon.

But you guys have like sugar gliders, ferrets and spider monkeys in your pet shops. I saw a brochure while I was outlet shopping in vegas. Quote Link to comment

Tigahboy Posted September 18, 2009 Author Share Posted September 18, 2009 I went to PTF (local LFS) for lunch break and saw really tiny and cool looking rbtas (maybe size of dollar coin). I want one now. Quote Link to comment
Weetabix7 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I went to PTF (local LFS) for lunch break and saw really tiny and cool looking rbtas (maybe size of dollar coin). I want one now. I've been wanting one for a while too, but have been put off by the price and the idea of them roaming around and stinging corals. I'll get one eventually... Quote Link to comment
