Xytrix01 Posted February 7, 2006 Author Share Posted February 7, 2006 Here is my latest FTS. I think I'm getting better at working my camera! Link to comment
Ann Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Wow! Thats a great FTS, it shows the corals off much better, and don't they look GREAT! This tank has really blossomed. Best regards Ann Link to comment
Xytrix01 Posted February 7, 2006 Author Share Posted February 7, 2006 Thanks Ann, I really do love the way that this tank is comming along. I think it will be filled in beautyfully by the time the contest is over. unfourtunatly, Joey, my little baby clown died thismorning at around 8:25am. At some point last night he explored his way into my overflow, and became trapped in my mechanical filter box. He was pinned in the tube untill I freed him. He was still breathing, but not looking so hot. I put him back into the display and he sank straight down to the bottom and landed on my acan. The acan clamped onto his head almost imediatly, I pulled him away as fast as I could, but I guess the acan had alredy stung him, as he stopped breathing. I have felt so bad about this all day! I couldn't bring myself to look at the clowns at work, and I can't help but feel bad for him. From here on out, no more fish! not till I get my 30 set up. Link to comment

Ryan_H Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 i think that's a saddle back clown. awesome tank! Link to comment
Xytrix01 Posted February 14, 2006 Author Share Posted February 14, 2006 i think that's a saddle back clown. awesome tank! I hope not because it came from a spawn of true percs, and I know the guy who bread them! From what I understand, when they are young like that their stripes may not be compleatly developed. No updates really... I',m noticing some growth on all the corals, but nothing worthy of a pic yet. That and I have to mow my alge again... Link to comment
Xytrix01 Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 Well, I've been busy again... I got another acan, and re-aranged the tank a bit for a more balanced look. I also mowed my algae down to tolerable levels again. BEFORE: AFTER: Please excuse the new image, I didn't have time to get out the tripod and all the good photo stuff, so the pic was just shot handheld on auto... Link to comment
Xytrix01 Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 What? No responces??? I'm hurt! I go through all the effort of re-aranging, taking pictures, uploading, and posting, and nobody even notices??? OHHHH THE AGONY!!!!! *drowns self in pico* Now really... What do we think of the new photo? I'm not sharing my new update til you all comment on my last one! Link to comment
Ann Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Of course I noticed and I was going to comment but to be honest your tank is looking too good for words. I really, really like the new look and when my tank grows up it wants to be just like yours. Now come on post us another update. Best regards Ann Link to comment
Xytrix01 Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 Thanks Ann, I knew somebody cared! Anyhow, I'll share my newest update just for you! I just need to get pics after everything opens back up today. Link to comment
shivametimbas Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 man, ur tank is sweet. ur doin a great job with it.props. tk Link to comment
Fishfreak218 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 WOW, what a great tank.. i love it.. looks awesome.. i really like the coral in the right corner.. what is it??? it looks like Star Polyps but they are pretty big to be star polyps.. alos am loving that hammer and frogspawn and Xenia.. u really do have a great tank... u got rid of all that algea.. i just cant stop looking at it... ok now ill shut up Link to comment
Xytrix01 Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 The coral in the lower right corner is a green polyp pipe organ. I really like the hammer too, such a stunning green on the tips. I like the LPS corals because they add both colour and movement to the tank. I mean the acans are pretty, but they don't really move at all. Link to comment
tinyreef Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 i saw your change the day you posted but since i liked it the way it was i kept quiet. it still looks great but i just preferred the other layout. Link to comment
Ann Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Uuuuuuuuuuupdate. Best regards Ann Link to comment
Xytrix01 Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 Sorry all, I've been really busy lately, and while things have happened in the tank, I just havn't had time to write about them... I'll do my best to take pix and update either tomorow or wed. Oh, and I got a new freind... He's a hitchiker from some Jakarta rock we got in at work. He was soooo cool I had to take him home. Not sure what kind he is yet though. And don't worry, he's not in the pico, he lives in his own little tank right now. I like him!!! Link to comment
Xytrix01 Posted March 22, 2006 Author Share Posted March 22, 2006 Well, sad to report that as of 12:12am on Wednesday march 22, 2006 my little hitchiker mantis has passed away. RIP little guy. I will not give up though, I have become rather intrigued by these creatures, and will continue setup of the new tank in anticipation of getting another mantis... Link to comment
Xytrix01 Posted March 26, 2006 Author Share Posted March 26, 2006 Wow, I get a mantis, and it dies, and still nobody has a comment! Sheesh! J/k Anyways, big update comming tomorow, I just got done resizing and uploading all the pics and it's just too darn late tonight! *YAWN* Link to comment
