Sk8n Reefer Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 they really are! Did you buy full sheets and cut to the sizes you needed?I bought a bunch of Fiestaware broken pieces/chips from their factory once and had fun doing mosaics with those. But I like the look of glass better. Ya, my wife was doing stained glass for awhile so she had a ton of inventory we could break up Link to comment
Dryland Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 The new tank looks great! I know you've probably mentioned it, but what lights will you use? Link to comment

Thanks man, I ordered one of nanobox's hybrid LED/T5's quad/quad- gonna be a bit overkill but it can still work down the road on a larger tank with an additional unit. Still waiting on the unit to arrive. Link to comment

Sk8n Reefer Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 just heard from Dave- my Hybrid should be here Friday! super excited. I'll be pluming the tank this weekend soooooo...........maybe time to start a new thread? Link to comment
Sk8n Reefer Posted August 8, 2015 Author Share Posted August 8, 2015 Got in from San Fran today and found an interesting creature on the wall. I've never seen this before - anyone know what it is? It's white and has white tentacles - moving along the glass between the two Pocillopora's. I took some macro shots but it's in an odd place on the side glass to get a good shot. Here's an iPad shot- I'll get the macro shots up tomorrow We worked a little more on the tiki room tonight- we are almost ready to fire up our 1960's Witco fountain my wife found years ago at an estate sale ?this probably hasn't been working in 30yrs. We ran new tubing and have sealed up the water pools. The water comes out of his tongue ?We'll dress it all up. Hoping to do some plumbing on the 50gal. This weekend Link to comment

I wouldn't touch it. Send me your whole tank, I'll eradicate it, sterilize your tank & send it back empty & ready to use again! Hahaha. The Tiki room looks awesome, love that fountain.

ReefWeeds Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I wonder if it is some kind of nudi. Justin Fox posted a photo of one in his build thread, but didn't quite look like this one. Link to comment

I haven't checked my macro shots - hopefully one from the front will be clear but it was on the side glass and I shot at an angle- usually not very good shots that way Link to comment

Sk8n Reefer Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 So here's a macro shot of the new creature- from here it just looks like a ball anenome of some type but from the front it didn't appear to have a mouth - more like a snail shell with tentacles - maybe not? anyway - it came and went. A few macro shots Pocillopora's Stylophora's group shot Bonsai from the side Clavularia multiplying Mushrooms Clowns chillin in their corner Some top down shots with the iPad Got the fountain running today ? gonna be sweet Link to comment
kimberbee Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 That is a really cool fountain!! Link to comment
markalot Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Awesome shots, weird creature. I love the crowded look. Link to comment

metrokat Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 That's a cool fountain. Lots of water elements in the Tiki room now. Link to comment
Sk8n Reefer Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 Awesome shots, weird creature. I love the crowded look. Thanks Mark, I wish I could of gotten a pic from the top or a facial pic- next time. Yes, just when I thought it couldn't fill up more - it is. Water circulation is becoming an issue though with corals reaching the glass and cutting off the flow in that direction........might be time for a bigger tank ? Love that top down shot! Looks great! Thank you- appreciate it! Link to comment
ReefWeeds Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 I love when you post your photos. And you still have the alien life form somewhere in that tank... Honestly, each time you post photos, I feel like everything grew at least a few inches from the last time you posted photos. I think you must only have about 6 actual gallons of water now in that tank! Link to comment
