AJ_Tsin Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 This is going to be great. TOTM sometime soon. Just keep it this clean forever. Great work. Link to comment
J-Ranko Posted March 5, 2011 Author Share Posted March 5, 2011 Amazing tank. Thanks, Macron. This is going to be great. TOTM sometime soon. Just keep it this clean forever. Great work. Thanks, AJ. I'm planning on some major livestock additions this month--I'm thinking several frags, a small clam and maybe a couple of fish too. I finally got my tax refund in yesterday, so now it's just waiting and selecting the right stuff as they become available at my LFS or online. Link to comment

jtgordon20 Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Great shot. Love your tank. Was the reason I wanted a 15, but got a custom tank thats 6" wider. Link to comment
J-Ranko Posted March 11, 2011 Author Share Posted March 11, 2011 Awesome shot J! Thanks, hype. That was probably one the sharpest photos I got with my P&S. Too bad it still pales compared to the sharpness/focus you could get with a DSLR. Great shot. Love your tank. Was the reason I wanted a 15, but got a custom tank thats 6" wider. Thank, JT. Bought a new acro from my LFS--a pink jade acro: Top-Down Shot (you can see the wave distortion in the reflection of the light fixture) This acropora has a very subtle color, very beautiful to behold up close but it doesn't "scream" with colors like others. You can see my other acros in the picture--a blue-tip tenuis and the blue oregon tort, which is hardly any bigger than when I bought it. Link to comment
J-Ranko Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 I got three new frags yesterday. Here are some shots I took this morning: Blue Mille (overhead view) It's still on the frag plug, but pretty close to its final position. I'll glue it in place in a few days. Red Blasto (overhead view) Just a single head/polyp, but it's a nice one. Hopefully it'll grow into multiple polyps pretty quickly. Blue Mille (another angle) The mille frag is pretty small, but they're supposed to be fast growing so in a few months it should be a nice mini colony. I'll post a pic of the third frag (a chalice) later when I can get a better shot. It's tough getting decent close-ups of tiny little frags without a DSLR+macro lens. Link to comment
Rehype Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Nice shots j. That frag will grow quickly in your tank... Link to comment
J-Ranko Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 Here are some shots of my Aussie duncan. It looked really bright and colorful this morning partially closed-up, so I took some shots. It's grown into a pretty big colony since I got it last year. It's now a multi-headed monster. Here's a top-down view with some really cool fluorescence: And here's a view from the front: I've been thinking of fragging it for some time but I really like how it looks as a large colony.

Rehype Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Nice shot! I love how the tentacles look on that species of duncan Link to comment
J-Ranko Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 Nice shot! I love how the tentacles look on that species of duncan Thanks, hype. The tentacles are only partially extended in the shots I posted. The duncan is sometimes fully extended. But the colors show up best when it's just partially extended. Link to comment
J-Ranko Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 Finally got a decent shot of the third frag I got yesterday. It's a chalice (forgot the name): Link to comment

d9hp Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Your tank looks so good man! Love that jade frag. Also, your birdsnest and monti make me undeniably jealous. My blasto has grown like 15 new heads in 3 months...hope yours does the same! Link to comment
Rehype Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Looks incredible j. The growth you have is ridiculous.. Link to comment
AustinV90 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Just out of curioustiy, how much did you pay for your duncans? Link to comment
TheNordCelt Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Nice additions J, it'll be fun to watch them grow out. Link to comment
J-Ranko Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 Your tank looks so good man! Love that jade frag. Also, your birdsnest and monti make me undeniably jealous. My blasto has grown like 15 new heads in 3 months...hope yours does the same! Thanks, Dustin! I have had the birdsnest and the monti cap since May of last year (in my former 10 gallon), when they were just tiny frags. Glad to hear about your blasto--I hope mine grows just as fast. Looks incredible j. The growth you have is ridiculous.. Thanks, hype. My oldest corals have shown the most growth. The biggest colonies in my tank--the duncan, birdnest, and monti--were added to my former tank (10 gallon) almost one year ago and have shown the fastest growth I've ever seen. Just out of curioustiy, how much did you pay for your duncans? I bought the Duncan from my LFS about a year ago for $60, when it had about eight large polyps. Now it's way over 30 polyps!

J-Ranko Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 FTS Plissssss.... +1 I'll post one some time this week. Thanks! Nice additions J, it'll be fun to watch them grow out. Thanks, Patrick. All my recent frags are supposed to be fast-growing so I hope they'll double in size in a few months! Link to comment
