buddythelion Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 Holy crap! All you stuff looks fantastic, but that susnset/rainbow blasto is..........well killer!!!!! Thanks Spirofucci, always appreciate the comment! That blasto is by far my favorite piece in my tank. Love the blastos & that Torch Island... Thanks! Link to comment
Nano sapiens Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Two tanks? Sounds exciting, can't wait to watch that tank grow as well. Sunset/Rainbow Blasto: Mmmm, especially nice! I like all the corals you got. That 'Highlighter Acro' is quite something. Do you know the species? Link to comment

Mmm, I'm an SPS noob. This upgrade was also so I could expand my knowledge on SPS by getting into them more. I know it's one of those tabling ones though, I'll have to ask Robert. As for species... I call it the $10 frag, lol! Link to comment

(same price as my little Green Milli) I'm finding these Acro species/types all have their own special needs/wants. Trick is to find out how to make them all 'warm 'n fuzzy' Link to comment
Deleted User 4 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 True about those two photos being a little saturated and all. Nice sunset blastos hhaha! Link to comment
awpong Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Amazing collection of coral you've got there. Do you have an updated FTS? Link to comment
Gramophone Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I am extremely jealous of your collection! Lemme know when you want to get rid of those plates Link to comment

(same price as my little Green Milli) I'm finding these Acro species/types all have their own special needs/wants. Trick is to find out how to make them all 'warm 'n fuzzy' I almost picked up a green milli as well! Warm and fuzzy is right. When they get fuzzy, you know they're happy. True about those two photos being a little saturated and all. Nice sunset blastos hhaha! Thanks Ben. Amazing collection of coral you've got there. Do you have an updated FTS? Thanks awpong! Always cool to see another college reefer's tank. No updated FTS, but I did make a good tank tour video not too long ago. I am extremely jealous of your collection! Lemme know when you want to get rid of those plates You and your plate obsession! Thanks Gram. Link to comment
NanoTopia Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Lots of colour in this tank, looks quite pretty. The Kessil really brings out the colours as well. Great job, looking forward to seeing more Link to comment
jball1125 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Looking very nice dude! Link to comment
gena Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Thanks Gena, I appreciate the comment! Sorry, idk how to ship. Would love to share my CARs I understand! I'm keeping my eye out for some...that won't cost me an arm and a leg Link to comment
SDartifex Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Those sunset blasto's are really nice! the plates you got in there got great color too. Is this tank under a bunk bed though? Link to comment
ganjero Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Are you running the light at 100% again? How are you SPSs doing? I have the same setup and I started to add SPS and I'm not sure if I need to run the light at 100%. Link to comment

Great job, looking forward to seeing more Thank NanoTopia, your SPS are one of the inspirations for my tank. I hope that they'll grow to be as nice as yours. Looking very nice dude! Thanks jball!

metrokat Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Sunset/Rainbow Blasto: I just drooled on my screen! Link to comment
buddythelion Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 I understand! I'm keeping my eye out for some...that won't cost me an arm and a leg Tenor had some gorgeous palys recently. Hope you nabbed that CAR! Those sunset blasto's are really nice! the plates you got in there got great color too. Is this tank under a bunk bed though? Dang... you're the first to call that out. Yup, it's under my bunk bed. Right where my NC12 used to be. I like something to look at right next to my computer set up. Are you running the light at 100% again? How are you SPSs doing? I have the same setup and I started to add SPS and I'm not sure if I need to run the light at 100%. I was, and then I turned it down. The reason for the 100% was that I've seen tanks lit up at 100% and all of the corals were doing just fine. And then it hit me, the lights were about 10" away from the water surface... mine was only 3-4" away. Some of my acans started bleaching and I couldn't figure out why since they were on the sandbed. The light was the reason, haha. I just drooled on my screen! Thanks Kat. Link to comment

Tinola Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Dude, very nice. I'm so envious of your corals. Very nice pieces... Sps too. That aussie sps is nice. Any of em at tunes? I was there earlier... It's so different! I really like the tank by the freshwater stuff with the 4 kessils. The one with the zps is nice too! Link to comment
buddythelion Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 Ah, I love Black Friday sales. Here's the two pieces I snagged from the Blue Water Tropicals sale, they're being acclimated to the tank water. I couldn't even believe the price they had these at. I've been looking for a red plate just like this one for the longest time. The other one is supposed to be a nice green-rainbow center, but guess it needs to puff up a bit first.

buddythelion Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 'Bout time for an FTS, dontcha think?! Nevurrr!!! Dude, very nice. I'm so envious of your corals. Very nice pieces...

Thanks John, the SPS pieces I have are still at tunes! There were plenty of the highlighter and that aussie ones are all of those huge encrusted frags. Looks like you swung by today, I can't wait to see the new stuff Robert brought in. I think the tank by the freshwater is the one in front of the back counter? It should have 6 Kessils Wide, that's my new fav tank! Cuz all the expensive goes there, hehehe. Lol, want to take a wild guess at who fragged all those zps? Link to comment

Lol, want to take a wild guess at who fragged all those zps? Lol, yeah that tank it's so awesome! Was that a huge colony of acropora efflorescens? I wish Robert could frag those... My mouth was watering when I saw it. So awesome. I also saw this really nice orange chalice(looks like orenji but sergio said they're not that and they're wild caught or something) by the zps you fragged .. Link to comment

LOL, that efflo, man that thing has been through everything! It's huumungooooo. It's been in the top tank about the SPS frags for at least a year just chilling at getting colors under the halides. The OG Orenji is hard to find from what I hear, but there are tons of look a likes. Maybe I should take pics of the store on Sat for the NR peeps to see. Link to comment

Thanks Ben, they were no where near what they should be. Let's just say they were about 70% off what they were about 2 weeks ago... I feel like I robbed them. Link to comment
