Mirya Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 I can't remember on which thread you posted your kitty kimono but look.... http://www.newslinq.com/cat-kimono/ Yes! I saw a photo gallery very similar to the one you linked too which is what inspired me to get a kimono for Ophelia in the first place. I think I posted Ophelia in her kimono on my other tank thread, but let's put a copy here too! Lovely tanks you have there! Love your flower nems! Thank you very much, Bunster! I've been following your tank thread. I love all the photos you have been posting. Sometime today I am going to get an order from Aquascapers. They had a sale on a 20 pack of zoa colonies. Myself and 2 others in my local reef club went in together on a purchase of a pack. The pack is getting delivered to me today, as well as another gorgonian I ordered. Link to comment
Mirya Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 So here is the pack from Aquascapers. It was a 20 pack and they threw in a freebie of some Searchlights zoas. I took a picture of all 21 zoas under some different lighting so that I can share the pics with my reef club members who I"m splitting the pack with to help them decide which they want. Until then, I have a lot of zoa goodness! Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 21 Zoas? I count 50! They can't be as bad with counting Zoas as John Maloney is with counting snails, right? Link to comment
kimberbee Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Wow, those are nice big pieces too! Link to comment
justinfox Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Ophelia's gorgeous! I'm now inspired to dress Mia my cat in a Kimono too! Link to comment

Mirya Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 21 Zoas? I count 50! They can't be as bad with counting Zoas as John Maloney is with counting snails, right? OK, 21 plugs. Lots and lots of zoa polyps though! Wow, those are nice big pieces too! Yeah, the freebie is the tiny piece on the bottom left row of the rack. Everything else is a nicely overgrown plug! They have a special right now on 20 full plugs of different zoas for $259 including shipping. That makes is $12.95 a plug, which is a price that can't be beat! I won't lie, I kinda wanted to order the whole pack for myself... So I posted on my local reef club forums if anyone wanted to split the pack with me. I had 2 people reply, so 7 plugs for each of us. Ophelia's gorgeous! I'm now inspired to dress Mia my cat in a Kimono too! DO EET! And then take some awesome pictures of her. Cool pic!!! Thanks! Link to comment

FlowerMama Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Nice. You'll have so much fun w/ that. Can't wait to see your pictures. Link to comment
reefernanoman Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 I got a new toy today. An Avast Top-Down Porthole. This is gunna be fun! Excellent idea! I can almost never get a decent picture from the top, but my lens is only 55mm, so that doesn't help either. Link to comment
Mirya Posted September 17, 2015 Author Share Posted September 17, 2015 This is actually a cell phone pic! They have a cell phone mount for the Porthole how. Link to comment
vlangel Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 With all those new zoas and the Porthole your pics are going to be amazing! Will any of the zoas go into your display tanks at some point? Link to comment
Mirya Posted September 17, 2015 Author Share Posted September 17, 2015 With all those new zoas and the Porthole your pics are going to be amazing! Will any of the zoas go into your display tanks at some point? Yup! My split of the zoas is on a frag rack in this tank right now. The rack was a little too shallow to easily photograph yesterday though. But soon... Link to comment
kimberbee Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 I got a new toy today. An Avast Top-Down Porthole. This is gunna be fun! Oh!! Didn't know these existed!! I'm gonna have to add that to my wish list!! Link to comment
spectra Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Sweet a new toy and a bunch of zoas Looking forward to some pics! Link to comment
Mirya Posted September 18, 2015 Author Share Posted September 18, 2015 I got a phone call from Oceans by Design today! My tank is done. It will be crated and shipped next week! Since I am about to spend a lot of time in North Carolina rather than Ohio (see my Mini Garden thread for details), I'm not sure when I will actually get to install the upgrade. It's going to drive me nuts know it is done but not set up! Link to comment

It's going to drive me nuts know it is done but not set up! What size tank di you go with? I have thought about having them do one for me as they are just a few hundred miles away and can drive to pick it up..... They have some nice stuff a few friends have there tanks. Dang those Zoas look sweet!!!!! Link to comment
Mirya Posted September 19, 2015 Author Share Posted September 19, 2015 The dimensions are a little funky, but it is custom, so I figured why not? It is 39" long x 15" wide x 15" tall. Starfire glass on the 3 viewing panels and blacked out back. Clear silicone (I hate the black silicone look.) Ghost overflow. Rimless. They had a little whoops with ordering the glass, so the thing is going to be a beast -- it is built out of 1/2" glass! (Since that was their error, they are not billing me extra for the extra-thickness glass.) They are shipping it freight. I'll need to go out to the terminal to pick it up. I'm pretty pleased with the shipping fee though. $30 crate fee and $136 to ship it from Washington state to Ohio. Some of the other shipping quotes I received from other aquarium builders were easily twice that, and not that far of a distance. Of course Glass Cages has the cheapest shipping options, but then you are getting a Glass Cages tank... Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 1/2" glass? Dayum. That's gonna be a beast to move Link to comment
spectra Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Yeah no glass cages............... I think there prices are not to bad at all.... Looking forward to pics when it shows up. Link to comment
