Zapatista Posted December 29, 2005 Author Share Posted December 29, 2005 SLO - lol...I will save you a frag of the pink mille for sure! Congrats on the sump and euroreef..it should really help your system get dialed! new fish: Geometric Pygmy Hawkfish...he is the POOP! here he is waiting to taste freedom - A FTS and a couple frag closeups: Link to comment
podBoy Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Let me know if that Geo eats any of your corals man. They have that habit, don't they? Really cool fish though. if they don't nip corals though, I may get one down the road Link to comment
Travis Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Hey Zap, looks awsome. It's realy going to look good in 1-2 years from now when fully stocked with the best SPS Put me next in line for that Pink Mille! Link to comment
Zapatista Posted December 30, 2005 Author Share Posted December 30, 2005 if anything, the geometric hawkfish will attack inverts, but shouldnt eat SPS..they do sometimes perch on SPS but that shouldnt be too big an issue.. Thanks trav. in 1-2 yrs hopefully this tank will be looking really nice..only time will tell...I've got you earmarked for a frag of the pink mille down the road Link to comment
yoshiod9 Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 sweet geo hawk, eben! i'd come check it out but on my way to vacaville yesterday afternoon my tranny decided to explode. so i'm pretty much stuck here till sunday or so. fun, huh? anyway, that means i haven't gotten to buy the stand for the tank and the surge...lame. now i have to wait till after hawaii to get my car fixed AND get my tank set up the way i want it to be. pshhh...i hate my life sometimes.

SLOreefer Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 danny new tank? sucks about the tranny Link to comment
Zapatista Posted December 30, 2005 Author Share Posted December 30, 2005 haha- Eric knows how to rhyme...danny is a tranny j/k In all seriousness - bummer! That is the last freakin thing you want to happen before you go on vacation. Let me know if you need to borrow my 4runner to pick up the stand and canopy..Id be more than happy to offer you the complimentary West Coast Wines shuttle service. On another note- geohawk is curled up sideways in the corner and is very unresponsive...I dont get it? It was acclimated for 1hr with a slow drip and lights were off...its just a friggin wierd fish..cool to look at but I dont know how it is going to do. Eric - heard you were picking up frags from Tim @ aqualife today. I am picking up some of the horrida and some baby blue stag tomorrow how does the horrida look? also, arron from aqualife called me a said they got in a whipfin wrasse and some really nice dottybacks..did you get a chance to see them when you were there? anything worth picking up? Link to comment
SLOreefer Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 i got the horrida today, it looks pretty cool under headlights ha ha. my tank lights are off and it is acclimating so ill let ya know...well you knwo afeter you already have it probably. i didnt see anythign at the shop i was amazed by. i havent been too impressed with anyones fish selection lately. kinda bummed, all my fish from out here have been kickin the bucket. in all seriousness i had never ever lost a sw fish untill i moved out here Link to comment
Zapatista Posted December 30, 2005 Author Share Posted December 30, 2005 i bet those headlights really make the colors pop...sucks about the bad fish luck.. So far in this new tank I have had 1 red headed goby who now lives in the overflow and 1 pygmy hawkfish who isnt doing so well...Id say my batting average isnt so hot either.. Link to comment
Zapatista Posted January 1, 2006 Author Share Posted January 1, 2006 Happy New Year...I'm posting some new additions then I'm off to go have fun tonight! New Fish inspired by Yoshiod 9- Flame on you f*%#ing flamers!! steve elias baby blue stag A. Horrida Orange/Hot pink Monti Cap. Updated FTS Link to comment
Travis Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 Hey Zap, looks sweet dude, love the new fish, I just hope you have plans for when it grows too large, which I am sure you do Link to comment
Zapatista Posted January 1, 2006 Author Share Posted January 1, 2006 you mean he is going to get bigger? j/k it is definitely a great fish with a ton of personality and adds a ton of presence to the tank.. we will see, with a 36" long tank he seems happy and eating like a beast already...I figure if he out grows the tank I will give him one of my friends who have 200-300 gallon reefs. Link to comment
Travis Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 You can keep him in that tank as long as he is happy, but when you notice the slightest decline in health/happiness, it's to the 300g reef. Link to comment
Zapatista Posted January 3, 2006 Author Share Posted January 3, 2006 ok..here is an attempt to post a higher resolution image of the right side of the tank...the image is 824mb which is considerable large considering the limited amount of storage each N.R account lets use host. When I normally post pictures, they are compressed out of my Cannon image manager, while I sent this directly through and resized the image using photoshop, but left the image intact (meaning I didn't "photoshop it or whatever) it is just resized but true it is origional dimension.. I'm curious how some people get such nice and sharp images posted but see to have a ton of them in their user galleries?? How large mb wise are the images? If they are compressed, how do the pictures still look so good? Any ideas or suggestion would be great. Oh yeah...here is the enormous file: Link to comment
proraptor Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Sand would look nice....Cool tank though Link to comment
Zapatista Posted January 3, 2006 Author Share Posted January 3, 2006 with 88X turnover, a majority of it being directed toward the bottom, I have a feeling that sand would make the tank look really, really bad. any ideas of posting sharp images without making it a huge file? Link to comment
Travis Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Maybe making it a GIF format? It won't look as sharp as JPG, but it will be smaller. Link to comment
Zapatista Posted January 3, 2006 Author Share Posted January 3, 2006 this is a crw format picture, but it is still 480MB which is way too big...in fact I am out of storage on my account... what do I do now? oh yeah...enjoy the picture...I sure do like it! Link to comment
Travis Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Dude, it's only 48 KB, not 48 MB. And BTW, it's showing that it's a JPG format. Link to comment
Zapatista Posted January 3, 2006 Author Share Posted January 3, 2006 oops...yeah what travis said..kb not mb Link to comment
SLOreefer Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 dude sign up for photobucket.com its free and hella easy, thats what i do Link to comment
Zapatista Posted January 4, 2006 Author Share Posted January 4, 2006 thanks eric...that might be a good idea.. BTW, Im treating for redbugs tomorrow with interceptor ...about 130 mg of a 1 gram pill. Its like 1/8 of a pill or I gotta find a scale that can weigh small amounts such as mg's. I know where the red bugs came from too and it makes me less than happy. Link to comment
