It's so on now - 72g Reef build

[cooltop]

did you ever make it to the LFS and get some livestock?

 

[neilanh]

No, we'll just say it's been a rough week

 

[cooltop]

I understand how those go. I was just told Tues I have to go to Dallas for a week to train. THat mean my wife going to have to take over keeping the tank up.

I will be running the Eheim 1262 with 900gph flow on my 180-gallon. The freshwater test seemed perfect.

I think he is waiting on me to catch these chromis in my tank to bring to him.

I need to get them out of the tank ASAP!

Nice pics on your website Neilan. Tanks comin round real nice!

BTW...Diggin those RC planes. Didnt know electric planes were out.

 

[neilanh]

lol - i haven't updated that site in forever.

Pros and Cons to electrics, but that's another discussion.

 

[cooltop]

Wow didnt know you did RC Planes to. I just started about 3 years ago. I havent had time to fly mine lately almost have decided to sell everything just b/c I dont even use them no more.

Alright, finally made it to the LFS. Not a lot to get me started, but got some nassarius, cerith and margarita snails, just a couple blue and scarlet hermits, 3 green chromis and a firefish.

 

[Ziggy953]

Npnp!

 

[neilanh]

Hey, that's my line!

Canopy's not on the tank atm, so no light. Firefish is hiding in the rocks. Snails and crabs look like.. you know, snails and crabs

 

[neilanh]

Firefish immediately went into the rocks last night, but he decided to come out this afternoon.

Under actinics

1 with the flash for color - not a good pic, I know

 

[neilanh]

Few more - I'm trying to learn how to take good pics under these lights, so I just randomly snap at stuff

Another FF:

Chromis:

Cerith Snail:

Macro Cerith:

Alright, so I ran out to get some mysis, and they had frags. I couldn't resist - so I got 2 "testers" to see how things go.

Dragon Eye Zoas, about 8 polyps. They hadn't opened fully when I snapped these, then a crab checked em out and they closed up. Lights about to trip off so this is the best I can do today

And, since I intend to have an SPS dominant tank, had to get one of those too for $12.

Still fooling around with the white balance in the camera. These are much closer to the eye than all my earlier pics. Getting there... Yes, that SPS really is green like that!

 

[ccCapt]

Nice score for $12!

 

[tripseven]

Looks nice! Lovin that green one...what is it?
