Giga Posted May 8, 2010 Author Share Posted May 8, 2010 continued: This is my frag plug of a milli I got, and mounted the milli else where but the plug is now encrusted and might keep this or trage it. I am really in love with inverts and I'm finally adding them to my tank now that it's semi mature. So here's all the inverts I got today. I still want to add maybe another crab or some sexy shrimp not sure yet. scarlet hermit also have a blue leg hermit I got but forgot to take a pic-sorry for blurry pic peppermint shrimp: My porcelain crab-see if you can find him-these might be my fav. inverts Vid of the porcelian:WARNING turn speakers down: Link to comment
Giga Posted May 8, 2010 Author Share Posted May 8, 2010 Now some other shots and fts's cuz it's cool? FTS: got a little closer to finishing my planted tank as I picked up a java fern today This is what you see when you walk in my front door. At this angle you can really see how empty the tank still looks fresh water shrimp-Got to get some cherry and tiger shrimp, but have to wait till they come in side shot of the salt tank and a shot of my mangrove roots-I'm debating building a small nano tank like 3 gallons attached to this tank to put the mangrove's in with like a mantis.Not sure yet. that's it for today Link to comment
Zer0 Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Love the tanks. Really do. They are excellent. Only one question though. How come the water levels on both tanks are kind of low? Just the way it came out? Or was it intentional? Link to comment

Just the way it came out? Or was it intentional? lol didn't think anyone would notice-the planted tank just went through a water change and I was messing in the tank(didn't finish topping off), and the salt tank that is the lvl of the tank, helps with jumping fish -I'm lazy Link to comment
Giga Posted May 8, 2010 Author Share Posted May 8, 2010 Just a little update as I have put in my order for my drivers woot! Link to comment
Zer0 Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Good idea with the fish jumping part. Regardless, i wasn't saying the water levels were a bad thing.. i was just wondering. I love both of the tanks. I want to do something very similar with SW and FW. Both shallow rimless tanks. But that's for when i get my own place.. Keep updating.. i love what you've got going on. Link to comment

Giga Posted May 22, 2010 Author Share Posted May 22, 2010 My fresh water tank crashed for no apparent reason, so I took it down and is now for sale. I'm gonna use the money for a 40x20x12 upgrade for the reef got the camera out for some shots Got a ok shot of my clown My acans Some new frags I got Green/yellow base milli unknown acro but I like it This wasn't marked but I think it's a red planet for 20$!? Also my blue/purple milli tip broke off and died so now I'm left with the frag plug Link to comment
got2envy Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Those acans are schweeet!!! lol at your gif Link to comment
Weetabix7 Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Those acans are schweeet!!! lol at your gif Ditto on both counts. Link to comment
pismo_reefer Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Everytime I open this thread, I'm like, "Coolest tank setup EVAR!" That gif is PURE Nemoy acting! Link to comment
Giga Posted May 22, 2010 Author Share Posted May 22, 2010 Yeah THe corals are pretty sweet and and growing pretty fast. I've had these acan for like 3 months and have not had any new head growing so Not sure what to make of it. Yeah the Gif is the best one out there! Link to comment
Giga Posted May 23, 2010 Author Share Posted May 23, 2010 Little update as I got a steal of a coral and moved some stuff around. New FTS I bought another porcelain crab and this guy is HUGE! about 4" across and then with his claws spread a whopping 7"! couldn't' get a good shot but here he is It was just a big day because I got this massive coral for 40$ and it's a little bigger then a baseball and is white with baby blue/purple tips and white polyps-it kinda browned out moving to my tank but hopefully it color up fast. I'm not sure if i'll keep it or frag it and sell the thing because it's huge as you can see in the fts first attempt at macro shot Link to comment
Arkayology Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Sorry to hear about the FW tank crash, but it is good to hear that you are fully committing to SW. Nice adds also. Link to comment
nebthet Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Your unknown acro on page 2 just above the red planet looks like it could be a blue tipped tenuis. It looks almost the same as mine when I first got it. Link to comment
Giga Posted May 23, 2010 Author Share Posted May 23, 2010 Your unknown acro on page 2 just above the red planet looks like it could be a blue tipped tenuis. It looks almost the same as mine when I first got it. that would be sweet once it grows out Link to comment
Giga Posted May 25, 2010 Author Share Posted May 25, 2010 been planning my new tank for a while and it looks like i'm gonna use these guys once then come to the US next month http://reefbuilders.com/2010/05/22/video-x...interzoo-booth/ Link to comment
Degener8 Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I was intrigued so here is a little more Xaqua information.. It looks interesting.. if its affordable it would be worth a shot for sure. http://www.xaquaworld.com/catalogoBase/art...asp?ID=ART00012 Link to comment
Spicer Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 FW tank crashed? Wtf? FW tanks dont just crash... Link to comment

It looks interesting.. if its affordable it would be worth a shot for sure. http://www.xaquaworld.com/catalogoBase/art...asp?ID=ART00012 yeah already saw that page and I might build my own just no pulsing thingy who knows FW tank crashed? Wtf? FW tanks dont just crash... the tank only half crashed as all the fish died but the plants didn't. What happened is I added 24 FW shrimp and for some reason they all died at once and the caused to much of a spike and killed the fish. I figured at that point I'd just tear it down sell it and build a bigger SW tank Link to comment
ajmckay Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Yeah but by tearing down the FW portion I think you lose part of the allure. Side-by-side they looked really cool IMO. Link to comment
Giga Posted May 25, 2010 Author Share Posted May 25, 2010 Yeah but by tearing down the FW portion I think you lose part of the allure. Side-by-side they looked really cool IMO. This is very true-even my wife wasa little upset that I took it down. But I just want to focus on salt water now and have a very cool reef Link to comment
Giga Posted May 27, 2010 Author Share Posted May 27, 2010 here's a current pic if anybody in the virginia beach area you can buy my tank Link to comment
