 MrT's 72 gallon 'budget' reef build, As if... |
Guidelines for Posting in the Dedicated Tank Forum
Welcome to the Dedicated Tank Forum! This is a place for you to show off your existing or in the process of being built tank. This is not a forum for tanks that are in the planning stages, so if you are in the design stages still, please post that thread in one of the other forums. If your tank comes to fruition, the thread can be moved, at your request, to this forum. Feel free to simply show off what you have done or highlight some interesting aspects of your tank. You may also show off pictures of your tank and do a pictorial story on your system. This is also a great place to get feedback as you work on your system. Remember, this is only for a tank that exists already, not one that is just an idea! Be sure to title the tank appropriately, listing the owner and the size and/or type of tank it is (e.g. dbartco's 54 gallon seahorse tank build or davelin315's never-going-to-be-complete 300 gallon reef build).
By the way, only full members may start a thread, although anyone may post a reply! More incentive to join up with WAMAS, you get to show off!

Wow, the photography is much improved. I think the coral you are wanting an ID on is a pagoda.
How about a FTS, or Full Tank Shot. -------------------- |

FTS is hard with a bowfront. If you take a full-on shot, the stuff on the periphery is waa-a-a-ay bent out of shape. I took 40 FTS last night and didn't like a single one of them. Also, this means I need to come back over to take more photos

I got a discarded piece of galaxia too but it didn't grow quite that well. You're tank is looking quite well! Do the dart gobies stay out in open often?

Do the dart gobies stay out in open often? Yes, but they're scissortails, not darts. I have three of them. They all hang out together at the very top of the tank. Actually, the only time they go in the rocks is to sleep. They are incredibly active. -------------------- My Tank Thread If you think healthcare is expensive now, wait 'till you see what it costs when it's free!

Sorry for some reason I thought the name for those fish was something like Scissortail Dartfish. What is the name of those fast growing zoos you have?

Tonight was not a good night for pictures. It seems like every step I take forward in photography, I take two steps back.
 I wanted to take some "after the tank nuke" shots. I recently lost my prized ORA clam, my skunk cleaner "Stinky", and one of my three scissortail gobies, as well as a colony of Xenia. Paly colony, not quite as big as it used to be...  ... but the GSP has just exploded. DaveS warned me about this! Also, new Cherub Angel "Cher".  My new Cardinal, "Carl", who I picked up at AquaCo today.  My first official venture into SPS is this colony I've been eying at AquaCo for the last three weeks:  FragFest Finger Leather:  Fat n' happy Manny the Mandarin! I've had him about four months now, so I think I'm passed the "will he make it" stage.  Duncan - it has just recently sprouted three babies. I was starting to wonder if it EVER would... it has just been growing bigger, but not reproducing (to my dismay)  My Rock Flower anemone. Sometimes he looks like he's going to split, but then changes his mind and flattens out. I kinda wish he wasn't in there sometimes... the stings really burn me for some reason.
