Six Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 yeah, thats what i meant! i LIKED it! hard to find cus they arent for sale, only found on live rock. the alien looks kinda like a sponge. my tank has 2 fish, a purple tang and watchman goby. there is little to no predation on the rocks. who knows! i like the barnacles on the frogspawn. will they come out or are they goners? nice blastos! that tank is full now! those should look nice. If you get a nice morph, maybe we can trade sometime, Loren. Link to comment
lgreen Posted December 11, 2006 Author Share Posted December 11, 2006 FINALLY A GOOD FTS!! Look how much the blasto's have perked up just after an hour of being in my tank! Unbelievable! Full size: http://www.nano-reef.com/gallery/data/500/DSC_0097.JPG WARNING: BIG picture (1.6mb!!) the alien looks kinda like a sponge. my tank has 2 fish, a purple tang and watchman goby. there is little to no predation on the rocks. who knows! i like the barnacles on the frogspawn. will they come out or are they goners? nice blastos! that tank is full now! those should look nice. If you get a nice morph, maybe we can trade sometime, Loren. Could be a sponge. Guess we'll find out. I think the barnacles are toast, but the frogspawn has tripled in size in the last hour and is looking great. They must have really hated the tank they were in. Thanks! If I can get them to grow I'd love to trade! Link to comment
travisurfer Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 The new pic looks 10 times better. I think the best thing about your tank is the cheap setup and the fact that you are successfully keeping so many species of corals. You are an inspiration to younger reefers that dont quite have as much money Link to comment
Six Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 wow, i thought the blastos would take days and days to look good! those purple lace ones on the leftish side are sweet! nice! Link to comment

jimbro Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Nice tank, green! FTS looks awesome and you've got a nice variety. Very well done!! when you say you 'rescued' some corals do you mean you bought them cuz they were doin crappy, or that you got 'em for free? Link to comment
lgreen Posted December 11, 2006 Author Share Posted December 11, 2006 Thanks. I still had to pay for them, but got a good discount. Link to comment

lgreen Posted December 14, 2006 Author Share Posted December 14, 2006 Thanks sandlot! Are you heading back to idaho for christmas break? Hope you are having as much fun with finals as I am! Link to comment
bucknellreefer Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Hope you are having as much fun with finals as I am! Who doesn't love finals?! Tank is looking great, I wish i could have entered the contest but I think 2 10gs in a single tiny dorm room would be more than I could handle (much less afford). Link to comment
lgreen Posted December 14, 2006 Author Share Posted December 14, 2006 late night update: I'm kind of disappointed. These pics looked really awesome in "preview" on my macbook, but when I uploaded them, the colors kind of got faded. Don't know what that's all about. Anyways... Galaxia growth (has began spreading onto rock in front of it) One month ago: Yesterday: Green Palys Another pic of the Galaxia Green/Pink Blasto's Frogspawn Watermellons I'll post some more in the next few days.

lgreen Posted December 18, 2006 Author Share Posted December 18, 2006 I sad no fish. Oops. Couldn't resist these little tank raised chick magnets, er um...I mean ocellaris clowns, that I found at work today. They are tiny, like 1/2" to 3/4". Nothing fancy, just ocellaris, but they were cheap and cute, so I got them. Full size: http://www.nano-reef.com/gallery/data/500/DSC_0041.JPG Link to comment
