FlowerMama Posted April 5, 2016 Author Share Posted April 5, 2016 Tank? I have 6, soon to be 8 at home, lol. 4x40B quarantine tanks, 60 rimless cube (wife's tank), 57 rimless and 93 rimless cube. I'm adding an 80 rimless frag tank in a few weeks. This is what it looks like when I go fish shopping, lol. For the curious, that's just shy of $3500 worth of Aussie goodness. hahaha, WOW! So what about a picture of your wife's tank and then your favorite tank? Link to comment
StinkyBunny Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I can do that: 57 rimless when it was first started: 60 cube: 93 cube: Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted April 5, 2016 Author Share Posted April 5, 2016 I can do that: 57 rimless when it was first started: 60 cube: 93 cube: I like the cave like structures in the 57 but I see many leathers in the 93! Link to comment
StinkyBunny Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 You ought to see the leathers in there now, it's wall to wall leathers, not an SPS to be seen. I think all you'd have to do to an acro to kill it is show it my tank or the wife's tank, lol. Between all of the tanks, some 33 species of soft coral are here. Yes, I have a leather coral addiction.

Ok Dirty Hare, you can't tell me it's wall-to-wall and tell me I ought to see....without showing!!!!!! That's teasing. Pics or video!!! Link to comment
StinkyBunny Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I'm gonna do some photo/video work this weekend. Might even start a tank journal. Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted April 6, 2016 Author Share Posted April 6, 2016 I'm gonna do some photo/video work this weekend. Might even start a tank journal. Yeah, we'd love to see it and compliment it and praise it no doubt. I have more to learn about leathers. Link to comment
StinkyBunny Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Leathers are pretty straightforward and easy. They need lots of light, especially the yellow Fiji leathers, lots of flow and food 2-3x a week. Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted April 10, 2016 Author Share Posted April 10, 2016 Took a close-up of the toadstool w/ my Samsung3, not a bad pic. Then a pic of the Devil's Hand. Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted April 10, 2016 Author Share Posted April 10, 2016 My curlique anemone is getting so big. It's so cool looking into the face of it because it's transparent pink. Can't really get that in a picture but I still got a cool picture. This Devil's Hand is getting bigger. So is the nepthea. And I got a sinularia again when I went to Petco to get a nitrate test kit. The last one I got is doing well, pictured on left. Then the new one on the right. So one is pinkish and this one is bluish. Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted April 10, 2016 Author Share Posted April 10, 2016 Pretty toadstool from behind. and the Kenya and the red branching macro Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 Today the toadstools didn't want to play well with others. best picture so far of the 14.99 frag from Petco for this sinularia This last pic I took right when I got home so I just turned on the light so the devil's hand hadn't come out yet.

FlowerMama Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 I took out quite a few rocks from Gertie's tank. It was never to be so packed that I couldn't find Gertie anymore. The duncans are still in there, I just have to put them on a rock and start selling my dragon's breath. Such a big hunk in there. And then corals in waiting for the 40. And, Ha! I've got a Devil's Hand that's peacing out! Thinks he's reaaally cool. Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 Landscape slightly rearranged, looks more dramatic. I have to get the grandis rock out, problem is I don't know where to put it yet but it HAS to go in that tank. Some of those palys are 1.5" wide!!! What's so beautiful is each paly has difference designs. Link to comment
ReefWeeds Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I'm gonna do some photo/video work this weekend. Might even start a tank journal. Did this happen yet?!?!?!??!

FlowerMama Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 That's what they look like in the wrong light. Here's the correct light. Has like 20 heads now. I bought them at a place that no longer lives on eBay or maybe not even in Peoria, Il anymore, unsure. Woo's Aquatics, back in 2014. When the palys come down to go in the 40, my duncans will just go to that spot. My duncan was huge, like a fat big softball, it since has shrunk in the 20g. Link to comment

StinkyBunny Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I'll probably do it as soon as this Fiji shipment settles in. We were hoping for it last week, but it went this week. I'm also trying to bring 4 more 40B online so I'm busy as hell. Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted April 23, 2016 Author Share Posted April 23, 2016 Gertie was reallly hesitant. I've never given her one larger than her. This was the 3rd take!!! Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted April 23, 2016 Author Share Posted April 23, 2016 Gert's first attempt! Much more interaction. Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted April 23, 2016 Author Share Posted April 23, 2016 Hard to believe that in 7 mos I'll have had her 3 yrs. Link to comment

FlowerMama Posted April 24, 2016 Author Share Posted April 24, 2016 Well now.......... I made such friends with her. Just like in Incredible Shrinking Man it'd be cool to be shrunk down and swim with her, see things at her angle. Love her! How many people do you know that play with their mantis?? Probably much more common on your side. Link to comment
