Uhuru Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 thanks fellas! I just got an order in from DD. A couple of tuxedo urchins for the first part of my CUC. I had a big order from John too but it got canceled because I chose the wrong shipping method Link to comment
Uhuru Posted October 31, 2010 Author Share Posted October 31, 2010 I don't think I've shared a pic of my Apogon/Zoramia leptacanthus. I've had them for a year or so, but I recently lost one that freaked out and got sucked up by the vortech: Link to comment
Uhuru Posted October 31, 2010 Author Share Posted October 31, 2010 I took these after the lights went off for a few hours. This one is my favorite because it looks so mystical. These guys starting closing up as soon as I turned the lights back on. new growth starting to get a little more expansion in the dark hours... Link to comment
divecj5 Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 This tank must be unreal in person. The pictures are fantastic and you're right, I bet the tank looks like some mystical water world after lights out. Link to comment
reeftankguy Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Nice livestock pics! Now... Recent FTS prz! Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Nice cardinals. I'm thinking about getting a medium sized school for my 125g. Those NPS pics are incredible Link to comment
n0rk Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Man, this tank continues to blow me away. You're doing stuff nobody else seems to be really pushing with and finding success with it... that's beyond admirable. Keep it up man, this thing is one of those select few special reefs Link to comment
Giga Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 This tank is very unique and I love unique tanks Link to comment
Uhuru Posted October 31, 2010 Author Share Posted October 31, 2010 thanks everyone! I want to get the tank cleaned up a bit before another FTS. I still don't have a CUC for this tank but I'll be placing a quick crew order from reef cleaners today. Was also thinking of getting a tiger tail cucumber for the sandbed. I also realize that the pics would look cleaner with a black background, but the back of the tank faces a main window in my house, so when I open the curtains at night everyone that walks or drives by my house sees my tank.

Uhuru Posted November 21, 2010 Author Share Posted November 21, 2010 finally got some decent pics of my Genicanthus bellus without color temp correction: Distichopora, the white tips are new growth I got this beautiful soft coral from DD, and I'm sorry to say I got it in horrible condition. I don't know if its going to make it. I've gotten a few polyps to open but IME when they come in this condition they are too far gone. It was sold as a Dendronephthya but I don't think it is.

animalmaster6 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Beautiful Bellus Angel. They are one of my favorite angelfish. Link to comment
Uhuru Posted November 21, 2010 Author Share Posted November 21, 2010 Yeah shes really cool. I was tempted to get a male but decided not to mess with the balance of things in the tank, especially with limited space. Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Has she picked at any of the NPS? Link to comment
Uhuru Posted November 21, 2010 Author Share Posted November 21, 2010 No she picks at rocks but never at live corals. She can be pretty aggressive with the cardinals. Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 How any cardinals do you currently have? Link to comment
Uhuru Posted November 21, 2010 Author Share Posted November 21, 2010 Had 5 for almost 2 years, now down to 3... I think she killed the other 2 since they have been very healthy. Wouldn't be surprised if she slowly eliminates all of them. She doesn't pick on the anthias at all and she is submissive to the tang. Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Are you going to get rid of the cardinalfish? Link to comment
bitts Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 as to the pics awesome as always. still can't believe what you pull off. its like you tigah & envy just have magic in your tanks.speaking of which, this will sound backwards. but based on some conversations with jer & tigahboy. you'll probably get better pics with the clear back. has something to do with depth & the way cameras work or something. hole thing was over my head for the most part but, point is your pics look great.

Uhuru Posted November 21, 2010 Author Share Posted November 21, 2010 Thanks bitts. Thats interesting about the clear back being better, I've never heard that before. Are you going to get rid of the cardinalfish? No I'm just going to keep an eye on things for now. Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Good, try to rearrange things in the tank a little bit if it continues. That really helps to lower aggression. Everybody is in a way disoriented and need to find new territories. Link to comment
