My Atlantis - Wild & Woolly May 2015 Pictures!

[eitallent]

I can't wait to see this video! I really love how this tank looks and can't wait to see it with all the inhabitants!

 

Also, I really love that your husband is getting the reef bug

 

Oh, and as for lighting, I vote for a Maxspect Razor Nano

 

 

So impressive! I love how this turned out!!!! Can't wait for the video with everything.

 

Yes, Felicia. I am leaning that way too.

 

Thank you, Gena. Welcome back from VACAY. I missed you.

 

My battery is charged, the men are out of the house and now I am going to edit the video! It will be up in a little while.

[metrokat]

Can't wait for the video

Can't wait for the video

 

Just finished editing. It is saving now. Hopefully it will be uploaded and ready to view in about an hour!

 

couldent agree less

 

I had to stop and think about this for a moment!

[eitallent]

FINALLY! I had issues with uploading and then the video was corrupted on Youtube, and then... well it is a long story.

 

Lets get right to the tour, shall we...

So you have the air line connected to CO₂ removal media? The macros want the CO₂, though

 

"We want more, we want more!"

[eitallent]

LOL Love the kids in the commercial.

 

I am glad you want more! I will oblige soon.

 

It seems there is still plenty CO2 for the macros to grow on. I just divided the chaeto in half and look at the bunch that is still in there. The pH swing was too wide and the scrubber helps a little on raising the low pH in the morning.

 

Thanks for watching!

That is gorgeous, and so darn ingenious, including the bubble wall as part of the separation. What a cool little tank.

[metrokat]

Ms E it looks very calm and sweet and soothing in there. And the music was perfect.

Thank you both for the kind words! I am glad you like it.

 

I love it!

 

I just have to keep filling up the back wall with goodies.

[metrokat]

Well I know you've separated the area for the macros but that back wall would be a good surface for a creeper like GSP or blue clove polyps.

Thank you Kat. That is exactly what I have planned. I want to make a patchwork quilt of corals back there.

 

I have split up the GSP and put in three different areas. I got the Kenya up there and the xenia just dropped and arm this morning so that will go up too.

 

Hopefully I will be getting some pretty clove polyps from Gena some time soon. Those will get a special place of honor on the wall.

 

I want to get a couple of yellow toad stools (maybe some green too) on the wall.

 

I am going up against the wall people! Any other suggestions would be wonderful.

 

Thanks!

Wow! Thank you for the video! Videos are so much better for getting a more 3D understanding of the tank layout. I really enjoyed watching the whole thing. I love the rock wall and the scape. That tiny arch looks great and I can't wait to see the rock wall all covered in corals. Putting the bubble wall between the the main part and the refugium was such a great idea. I love the combo of the bubble wall and the disco light Also, great idea making the refugium part of the display. Overall, great work! I really love this new tank

[zhuangcg]

Your aquarium is looking great, well done on the transfer!

Thank you, ladies!

 

The folks on this forum are so nice and supportive not to mention extremely helpful! Ya'll are grrrreaaaat!

 

So I am moving some of the zoas from the big tank over to the nano. I just have to fill up that back wall! ;0)

This tank is going to look great in a year or two once everything grows in! TOTM-worthy I bet.

Thanks, Cynthia. A person can only hope for that kind of recognition, but there are soooo many gorgeous tanks to choose from the competition makes it unlikely.

 

I get enjoyment from the coral colors, beauty, mystery and fishy antics. That is reward enough.

New video was very nice. Looks cool. Music was..well I felt like I was in church. But I'm sure my song choice would be polar opposite, so it's fine.

You are right about the music.

 

Well, I do feel blessed when I look at the lovely reef. It also feels like a miracle that any of these faraway ocean creatures are alive in a glass box in my home! So, subconsciously I must have felt that a spiritual tune was in order!

 

I wish I could go to your church if it has relaxing sounds of surf, waves and shore birds. I would stay all of Sunday and camp out Saturday night before services too.

 

Thanks for watching.

[Spirofucci]

I missed the vid..... I'll have to view it when I get home.

Hi, Spiro.

 

No worries!

I will post it here again so you do not have to scroll all the way up the page to find it when you get home.

 

 

Also I filmed the flatworms in the pest pico having a party. Marty is not in there to keep them in line.

[Felicia]

I cannot wait to see that back wall coated in zoas! Such a good idea! This really will be a TOTM contender once its filled in because its so well planned and different. I'm loving it! You have such great ideas!

 

I hate flatworms...they're having a party in my main tank because I'm feeding a lot and none of my fish eat them. Blah.

Well I try to avoid church/religion, but I have quite a bit of experience so I'm qualified to judge. Lol.

[gena]

I didn't get a church vibe at all from that video.

 

Awesome video, btw! That rotating knozzle is cool! Looks like the clowns miss their bubbles...must have been like a massage for them when they were in your fuge.

 

I loved seeing Skipper at the end!!!! How does he like the new tank? I'm sure he's told you. LOL

Hi, Gena.

 

I am glad you enjoyed the video.

 

The clowns Mork and Mindy were trying to swim into the bubbles a lot initially. They would swim all the way up to the top hoping to catch them. They are also looking like they are searching for the blue mug. so cute.

 

Skipper has not missed a beat. He is perching in all his usual places. I think he is confused as to how far he has to swim to reach his identical twin that lives on the other side of the glass. A strong swimmer he is not so it looks like he hops through the water in fits and starts. So funny to watch!

What experience do you have pschom. Were you the son of a preacher?

 

The older I get the more I like to do my own thing and let others do theirs. That is my religion!

Thanks, Felicia. I hope it will be as pretty in reality as it is in my mind.

 

Are your flatworms like these? Kat has a different type.

 

I hate flatworms too. The population was increasing and I found some on the mushrooms. That is why I tried so hard to get a sixline that finally made it! Marty is hardy!
