Spasticat Posted September 5, 2004 Author Share Posted September 5, 2004 Thanks dude, I picked those up yesterday. 40 bucks, not so bad. Link to comment
Spasticat Posted October 26, 2004 Author Share Posted October 26, 2004 64w of actinic, and only 24w 10K daylight in the back. The result is a little bluer than I wanted, but it really makes the corals glow. The GSP was initially shocked by the light change, but half of the colony is already back in full force (I ripped the mother colony in half about 3 months ago). I was supposed to stop buying corals after I sold all of my zoos... but within a month I filled the space with frogspawn and a new ricordea rock. X) Link to comment
lou52onu Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 WOW what's the name of the green tentacle thing w/ the purple tips (sorta fat tubes) on the bottome left of the tank, and what about the thin purple tentacle thing w/ the bright green tips. Whats the name of it? Can those be up in a regular or stock deluxe nano or do they require all the special lighting you put in?? Link to comment
Sushi Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 thin purple + bright green tentacles are green star polyps thicker tentacle with the whitish tips is called a frogspawn. both of these corals can be kept with the "stock" nano-cube deluxe. Link to comment
Spasticat Posted October 26, 2004 Author Share Posted October 26, 2004 and what about the thin purple tentacle thing w/ the bright green tips. Whats the name of it? The Green Star Polyps (GSP) are my favorite in the tank. Some day I'd like to have a huge tank dedicated to just that coral Link to comment
Spasticat Posted October 28, 2004 Author Share Posted October 28, 2004 The GSP came out yesterday, I think it's the best part of the tank IMO: Link to comment
DarkXerox Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Hey Spasticat, do you have any problems with the goby spitting sand onto the coral sitting on the front? Link to comment
Spasticat Posted October 29, 2004 Author Share Posted October 29, 2004 I've had problems with my gobies spitting rocks on zoos and sitting on them. But the coral (which I am selling this weekend), is a favia sp. brain coral, and it stings them off! Link to comment
labrat34 Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Man that is one sweet tank to say the least. I'm starting a hood for a 10 gal and I'm glad you posted those pics. Rick Link to comment

Friskaburger Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 That's awesome... my questions is, what camera are you using, and what lense? Link to comment
Spasticat Posted October 29, 2004 Author Share Posted October 29, 2004 Just a 3.2 megapixel D560 that is over a year old. The key is to use a tripod when you take digital pictures w/o the flash. *** A quick reminder: the favia sp. and the frogspawn pictured above are for sale this weekend only.:pirate: Link to comment
Friskaburger Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Wow that's pretty awesome results with that camera! I was expecting an SLR haha. Great work spasticat Link to comment
Spasticat Posted October 31, 2004 Author Share Posted October 31, 2004 Ha, the "sharpen" filter in photoshop adds a megapixel or two Link to comment
Spasticat Posted November 1, 2004 Author Share Posted November 1, 2004 I don't take many pics of the "far side" of the tank... but there is a lot of activity going on back there these days. The BTA split, and has created a nice bed for the clown. This area is also completely surrounded in green star polyps -which I ripped in half and rubber banded to the rock. I wouldn't mind sleeping in there...zzz Link to comment
Domino_Tang Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 OOO Nice tank , nice camra =) wanna trim me some Frags =) i'll pay for shipping. Link to comment

BelowH2O Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 Just saw this on RC, very clean tank! Nice photos too. Keep it up. ~BH20 Link to comment
lou52onu Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 Awesome tank. I have a cube that should be cycled (still have to run the chemistry on it one last time). Wanna mentor me on establishing my tank and mocking yours??? ; ) Link to comment
Spasticat Posted November 11, 2004 Author Share Posted November 11, 2004 I had to once again run to the tank and take a picture... My goby is surfing the GSP. PS... 2 snails dead in 2 days -and I might be shamed from posting pics here again. But I have a plan, if it all dies then it's going to be a mantis tank.:nerd: Link to comment
