FlCandy Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Really cool scape! I love that plate! Link to comment
Zer0 Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 oh, ITS ZERO - whats up man! tank looks awesome. Can't wait to see this mature! Haha nothing much bro. What's up with you? Yeah dude same here. The zoas are starting to grow in and the frogspawn grew a new head so things are starting to pick up a little speed. The pictures might not show it, but the rocks aren't very white anymore, more of a greenish/purplish color. Hopefully they will start turning more purple lol. Thanks for checking in! Awesome scape. Really cool scape! I love that plate! Thanks guys! The plate is my 2nd favorite piece. First are the orange zoas. The pictures don't do them justice at all. They truly are beautiful. Link to comment
Zer0 Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 Thought I would just do a quick text update, as I have no pictures for you guys unfortunately. Anyways, the tank is basically the same, with no new additions as I have been working on some other projects that I have yet to share here, but will in the future, but so far... When I first started adding coral to my tank I saw one tiny Stomatella snail crawling around. A month later and the Stomatella snail got pretty large. Another month later and I noticed another large Stomatella roaming around the aquarium. I really thought nothing of it and just considered them simple hitchhikers. Then, about two weeks ago, I saw both Stomatella snails propped up on there tail portions, sticking out into the flow and "spitting" out this white substance. Immediately I figured it was either sperm or eggs, whichever one, and since I had only two Stomatellas, I thought I might get lucky and they might spawn. I honestly had never seen anything reproducing in captivity before so needless to say I was pretty interested and amused... Long story short, I now have a bunch of baby Stomatella snails crawling all over the tank and I could not be happier. It was getting to the point where I needed to start stocking up on my clean up crew but then these little sons a #####es popped up and now I don't have to buy any clean up crew since all they do is eat tons of algae. It's great. Also, on a separate note, I will be getting a Canon T3 or T2i in about a week for sure, so I will definitely be showing off my tank in all its glory once I get the new camera. 'Tis all for now. Sorry about no pictures. :/ Link to comment
Rehype Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Congrats on the upcoming camera. Look forward to the pics... Arent stomatellas great?.. I have a bunch of larger ones that come out at night. Link to comment
Zer0 Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 Congrats on the upcoming camera. Look forward to the pics... Arent stomatellas great?.. I have a bunch of larger ones that come out at night. Thanks dude! I chose the T2i over the T3, and I bought it on Ebay last night, so I should have some nice pictures up hopefully next week. Can't wait to see what it's like to own a nice DSLR. I saw some videos and pictures using a stock T2i with the 18-55mm lens and they look pretty incredible. Will most likely save up to buy a nice all around lens in the future as well. And yes, stomatellas are awesome! The ones I have just keep reproducing and they just mow down any algae I have on the glass and rocks. Super awesome creatures. Link to comment
MGDMIRAGE Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Hey Z, Grats on the new camera. I still love my T1i. You can get awesome shots with the kit lens, I still use mine a lot Link to comment

Zer0 Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 So, here's a couple pictures with my new EOS 550D. I love this camera, I just need to really learn how to use it right, and I need to clean my aquariums glass I just whipped out the camera and started taking pictures without cleaning or setting anything up lol. I also have to find a good image hosting site... And here's my other project that I've been working on. I'll take better pictures of the entire vivarium once I let the plants sit for a little while in the humidity. I just got them today lol. Whatd'ya guys think? Link to comment

Zer0 Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 I fed the tank tonight so I took a picture of my plate coral eatin some noms. It's great because the plate is directly under the flow of my return line so I just drop a few pieces of mysis shrimp and it just falls right in his mouth. No need to stick my hand in the tank or spot feed. God I love this camera Link to comment
