These Z's & P's are really pretty, like the Blenny, like the tank!! Quote Link to comment

Picking up for more nice Z's and P's tomorrow, pictures will of course follow. As an aside, it looks like I'm getting a NanoBox Reef hybrid light, as @DaveFason found a few bodies lying under some stuff in the old shop. Anyway, despite the apparent murders, I couldn't help myself and whittled down the wife into (sort of) agreeing with me on it. Anyone want to buy a Kessil A160WE? 2 Quote Link to comment
schgr.cube Posted August 15, 2017 Author Share Posted August 15, 2017 I figured another cat photo was due. Pulled the trigger on my light today, t-minus three weeks until I get my NanoBox Hybrid. I am toooooo excited! 9 Quote Link to comment
schgr.cube Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 Not much to update right now, except that I have sold my old tank and Kessil, so I am currently running on a cheapo black box Chinese LED fixture. I should hopefully receive my new light toward the end of the month, or the beginning of September. I don't know if I'll be able to stand waiting this long! I forgot to mention I grabbed a Porcelain Crab recently: Also, the replacement pump from IM came in, and it is louder than the one with the broken impeller. I am getting really frustrated by this, and will probably just have to pull the trigger on a Sicce Syncra 1.5 2 Quote Link to comment

schgr.cube Posted August 25, 2017 Author Share Posted August 25, 2017 Some new Zoas and Palys: Decided to snap some shots of my recent pickups. I decided I am going to keep things on plugs for a bit while I determine where I want things to go, and while I wait on the light. Sorry some of these pictures aren't great. Orange Rainbow: Not sure what these are: Galaxy People Eaters: Sopranos: Red Hornet: Midas: Goochster? Magician: And just a decent shot of my boring ole shrooms: The Blue Hornet I bought didn't make it, but they are giving me a replacement. I also have Sunny D's, Blue Agaves, Armor of Gods, Purple People Eaters, Pink Krakatoas, and Utter Chaos coming soon. I'm buying / trading locally for a lot of this, so I haven't been paying a ton. 5 1 Quote Link to comment
fishfreak0114 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Great shots! I have now added a couple things to my zoa wish list! I really like that red mushroom, I've been trying to find red ones locally with no luck. What are you using to take photos? 1 Quote Link to comment

Mine came as a hitchhiker on a hermit crabs shell! And I'm using a Samsung NX3000 with an adaptor for Canon lenses. I need to get a new camera eventually, this is kind of a pain! 3 hours ago, Lula_Mae said: Nice scores! Magician palys are so gorgeous. Thanks! I agree, I've always had a soft spot for them. The Blue Agave is one I've never owned, but looks similar. I can't wait to get it though, as it looks amazing. 3 Quote Link to comment

I know, aren't they awesome?! I was so happy to find them at a decent price after wanting them years ago, when they were going for like $150 per polyp. 2 Quote Link to comment

It's sad because I probably would have, but only if I had found them in person instead of online.... Recent FTS,: There is a fair bit of shadowing with the temporary light I am using, and the color isn't exactly ideal in person. I am hoping the new light will arrive before I go to the beach so I can have it set up for that week. 7 Quote Link to comment
schgr.cube Posted August 30, 2017 Author Share Posted August 30, 2017 @DaveFason sent me a little status update on my light, which should be finished within the week! I had asked him to leave the body as a raw aluminum, as I wanted a more industrial look to the light. Here is the progress on the body so far, and I think we are pretty much ready to move into the final stages. I requested black for the acrylic top, which I think will give it a nice contrast. I am so pumped to have this thing up and running, expect it to be above the tank by next Sunday! 7 1 Quote Link to comment
