I'm interested in seeing some more dinos - I'll be looking out Good to see some one else with cespitularia, where did you get yours from? I love that the stuff is a slow grower - no fear of it going full pom pom style take over. Have your polyps opened any more? Mine are almost always mostly closed like that. I acquired all my corals from my sponsor it has opened a bit more I think it’s getting used to the stability and Daily WC. I have my light setting on acclimation at 50% right now. Haven’t seen much growth on the corals as of yet, I know it’s a bummer but maybe I should try some acropower 1 Quote Link to comment

Not like the catfish, but the behemoths which had massive calcium-skeletons to allow them to go back and forth into fresh and saltwater by cannibalizing their own skeleton's elements. Seems on theme, and they look awesome to boot. Like Dunkleosteus. I will have to look into some fish fossils drawing up may be tricky 1 Quote Link to comment
A.m.P Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Most of the armored fishes have exceedingly-pronounced and large skeletons with only a few pieces to them, that said modeling anything can be quite a pain. Ol' Dunkle looks even more impressive than a great-white though. 1 Quote Link to comment
This guy is extra salty Posted May 18, 2019 Author Share Posted May 18, 2019 Unfortunately I didn’t take a “full tank shot Friday” but I did get some sweet beautiful macro algae from @inland_reef (Thanks again) Some sweet green spaghetti (Cheato) dragons burp(I believe) and some blue hypena(hopefully it will thrive in the v2.501) also met up with @ChristopherDido to give him his lorax truffula lids. I’m not going to steal his thunder and y’all will just have to go to his build thread to check it out. (Mostly I didn’t take any pictures 🤦♂️) anyway ill will give a better update tomorrow since I have a little free time before my family come over (they’re visiting to see my son) you all will have to be satisfied with this side boob 8 1 Quote Link to comment

If not, I think I have some more I can throw your way. 👍🏻👊🏻 I call the red one dragon’s tongue. It’s not quite dragons breath because it doesn’t have the bright orange tips but it does have the deep red color. Although dragons burp sounds like a fun name. Might start marketing it as that. 2 Quote Link to comment

You will make a fortune calling it that “dragons burb” algae for sure I hope so too, But I guess I’ll see with the daily WC’s . 1 Quote Link to comment

This guy is extra salty Posted May 20, 2019 Author Share Posted May 20, 2019 Oh also I managed to make a electrical compartment.(warning picture heavy) Mainly got sick of seeing the plugs mixed in with the fish towels, so I decided to hide all the plugs 🔌 Well sorta I’m not going to have a top piece because I still need to see if all equipment is functioning properly. Mostly to confirm the It has power. I used mirror acrylic on three sides. Left, right, and front. Moved the ATO container to underneath the stand. which I will get more mirror acrylic to “hide” the salt and filter floss being stored. FTS It was maintenance day and all my towels and filter socks are being washed, That will sit nicely on this shelf as storage. Also this “new” shelf on the stand has been ole lady approved ✔️ Probably by the end of this week I’ll have my water station setup.🤦♂️ I have only been wanting this since last year..🤞 8 2 Quote Link to comment
