davidncbrown Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 That you are... Keep that one around!!! Ha I will, definitely don't have to worry about that! Looking good man, loving the colors. I can't wait to put some more corals in my solana. Thanks! We're trying to get a wider range of colors in this tank. We still haven't found homes for all the new corals yet but hopefully we will soon. Aquascape and corals look awesome Thanks! Link to comment
davidncbrown Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 Alright so new pictures! I apologize in advance for the crappy quality of some of these pics. I'll take some better ones soon. A lot of our corals are in their (hopefully) permanent homes. So we'll start this out with a new FTS. Our pair of half nakies Aussie blasto Birdsnest were lookin to sell From our research.. we *think* its a porites montipora capricornis the miami hurricane is growing! newly created zoa garden. We're going to let them completely encrust the rock. The tissue damage on the stylo is growing back and getting polyps here's our red scooter blenny our pipe organ an acan lord this was a hitch-hiker on a rock in our nano and we never knew what it was while it was small. Now that it's in our new tank and its getting bigger we think its a orange crush acan. We're super stoked, and it looks like its growing a couple new heads on top! our first acan lord colony from the other tank The guy at the LFS told us this was a pocillopora but we think its a montipora digitata, what do you think? This green millepora was in the back of the frag tank at the LFS and one side was shaded so it has no polyp growth. Within the two days we've had it we can see its already starting to grow polyps on the bald side. our bubble gum chalice has tissue growing over the sides where it was fragged. our beautiful purple fire darter our lobo is looking much better! It has three distinct mouths. blue acropora and finally the first sps we ever bought, our green birdsnest. Hope you enjoy the pic update!! Link to comment
davidncbrown Posted August 26, 2009 Author Share Posted August 26, 2009 My girlfriend has been in love with this blasto which our LFS had in one of their show tanks for at least a month now... Well we finally convinced them to sell it.... And... behold one wicked blastomussa wellsi! And now for the closeup... Link to comment
bluenassarius Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 hey dave, nice looking setup. your lucky to have a GF supportive for your hobby. Link to comment
bgrimm2day Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Blasto's are the best. Those are really nice with the green mixed in. If you ever decide to frag them I'd be interested. Link to comment
davidncbrown Posted September 12, 2009 Author Share Posted September 12, 2009 Blasto's are the best. Those are really nice with the green mixed in. If you ever decide to frag them I'd be interested. I'll keep it in mind. I probably won't be fragging anything for a long time tho... we really want our stuff to grow out. Oh, P.S. We just got a dendro, and we moved some of our corals around and got some new ones so I need to take some more pics and do a post. I've been real busy lately. School started back up last week and I've been working a bunch so unfortunately NR has taken a back seat to more important things Link to comment
davidncbrown Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 Well we knew it was coming, but our red scooter blenny my girlfriend lovingly named "scoot scoot" died this morning. He has been battling cancer (no joke!) for a couple months now and it finally got to him. Some of the tumors had shrank and dissapeared, but some just kept growing. He hasn't been eating like his usual self lately so we knew it was coming soon. We're not sure when we will be getting a new fish, or what it will be.... And on a side note after much time and neglect for our NR thread, I will be posting brand new pictures tomorrow of the tank and some new corals! R.I.P. Scoot scoot. Link to comment

Nemo Niblets Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Looks awesome! Those are killer blastos. Not to mention the chalices and SPS and sweet flame wrasse. If the dendro gets super healthy, it should be open all day. Just feed it alot. Google balanophyllia, and see if it looks like that though. It's possible... Link to comment

From what I've read on balanophyllia they are found in colder waters.. I mean its possible... I dunno. Its not too orange though, the mouth is red and the tentacles are almost clear. Link to comment
davidncbrown Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 So good news bad news time. We just discovered we have red bugs on a couple of our acro colonies but the good news is that our LFS had a pair of dragon face pipe fish... Which just so happen to eat red bugs... So we got them. here's a couple pics of one of them. The other one is being a ninja and hiding in the rock work. Link to comment
Nemo Niblets Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Dragonface pipes are so awesome! I've always wanted one. Do you have problems with them in the flow? Are they eating frozen? Link to comment
