kthehun89 Posted August 29, 2010 Author Share Posted August 29, 2010 yeah D, I'm in TN for another 2 weeks. I've been to Hattiesburg a few times! The tank is doing good, back in California. The roommate's been taking good care of it, all he's really been doing is filling up the ATO reservoir. Hopefully there wont be any too drastic changes when I get back Link to comment
kthehun89 Posted August 30, 2010 Author Share Posted August 30, 2010 So since I'm around my Mom's tank while I'm on vacation, I figure I'll post pics. I'm so proud of my mom, you guys dont even know. She does everything! I mean she even knows how to program the RKL hahah. She's very picky about what corals I can frag, which is good cuz she lets these bad boys grow. She has several of my original AquaSD purple hornets, this colony is going to a buyer on tuesday SPS top, ORA Joe the Coral growing well! Link to comment

kthehun89 Posted September 2, 2010 Author Share Posted September 2, 2010 Did some fragging in mom's tank, ended up taking them to the LFS. Got a nice 5" Gold Teardrop Maxima! Also got some frags from Will @ AquaSD sent to me for the tank. It's looking sweet. Enjoy the pics! Link to comment
d'Espresso Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Oh dang man. Those corals looking awesome. Sweet deal! I like that red coral u got on the bottom but also all your zoas you have in there. Very nice variety color choice of zoas you have there. Any up date or pic of your tank back home in cali bro? Hope it's doing good Link to comment

Hope it's doing good Yeah I'm really digging how this tank has turned out. most of the corals here started off as 1-2 head frags so it's come a long way. No pics from the tank back in Cali, but the roomie says its fine, nothing drastic or the like. It has been on cruise control for a while so all it's missing out is 2-part dosing, but that's not too bad. Link to comment
d'Espresso Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 How many gallons is your mom's tank? it looks simple and clean. That clam is hella big bro. 5" daym.. i am afraid to put clam in my tank, i had bad luck in the past so i think i will stay away for now. lol Also got anymore of Whalmin' watermelons or Eagle eyes, AOG, and nucs?

kthehun89 Posted September 3, 2010 Author Share Posted September 3, 2010 yeah D i got some frags of those. I was gonna send some this up coming week if thats cool with you. The dimensions are 22" wide, 17" deep and 17" tall. It's plummed to a 10g sump... and the clam's a beast, but it's beautiful and adds allot to the tank... Link to comment
kthehun89 Posted September 5, 2010 Author Share Posted September 5, 2010 1 week til I'm back. I cant wait to see the progress of the tank. No more "yeah the red one is doing well, its growing a bunch of...branches" hahaha Link to comment
kthehun89 Posted September 5, 2010 Author Share Posted September 5, 2010 So I picked up a really nice tabling acro today. Looks like an acropora cytherea. This thing has like a 4" diameter, and is nicely tabling already. It has a nice little white acro crab too, just like the one I have back in SD. It's got pink tips, a nice tan-light green skin, and white/red polyps. It was sitting low in the LFS tank, so chances are the green skin will comeback more since it's up in the top. Take a look Link to comment

kthehun89 Posted September 5, 2010 Author Share Posted September 5, 2010 top down on the new a. cytherea this is very accurate of the colors, except that I had to push back the T5 to take this pic, so it's not as bright and vivid Link to comment
kthehun89 Posted September 6, 2010 Author Share Posted September 6, 2010 Thanks giga, it certainly is a magnificent piece. I didn't mind paying $70 for it...usually big SPS colonies go for 100+ Link to comment
kthehun89 Posted September 6, 2010 Author Share Posted September 6, 2010 So upon further inspection, I've noticed there is a pair of acro crabs in the a. cytherea! Both are white with a black stripe across the shell from eye to eye. They are so cute, and that's coming from a dude!!!! One is slightly bigger than the other, and I saw the 2 together just now. I'll try and get a pic, it's certainly hard with this coral! Link to comment
