I've sat here and watched the pictures of their tanks scroll by on their website picking out the fish and coral in their tanks.

Sounds like a plan. Hmmmm... run a marathon, or check out Aqua-World? Now that's a tough one!

I actually just checked out their site. The tanks in the store look pretty nice. Gotta be some goodies lingering around in there.

[Macscale]

Good luck to the Mrs.!
My family and myself included are huge marathon runners and fans.

Good day indeed. Wife did well and so did I. Came out with a small black sun polyp frag, blue rimmed monti frag, a chalice frag (I think), and one mystery. Well, mystery to you guys to wonder what coral I got on a great savings that has been mentioned in this thread. Happy hunting.

Sounds cool! Is it an SPS?

[Sniperhank]

No it isn't, but it puts your spiderman to shame...
Oh, and I forgot the plug I got with Armor of God zoas on it.

No, the tort bit the dust. Pretty upsetting, but this guy can fill the empty pit in my heart if all goes well.

[Sniperhank]

Sorry for the blues.
Gold Hammer

Unknown chalice

Can barely see the black sun coral

Oh really??? I'm gonna guess you got a really nice clam.

[Sniperhank]

No, it's that gold hammer :p

Ohh, wasn't paying attention. Nice pick up! I don't think any euphyllia had anything on my Spiderman though. Those blues are strong with the radions. Does it look anything like mine? And did you pick this up at Aqua-World the other day?

[Sniperhank]

Yep, mine is a wall though...yours looks like branching? And yeah, all those guys came from Aquaworld today. I am quite pleased as everything opened up not just in the tank, but in the bags being transported.
That said, I fed the tank and didn't think too much of anything else...until I was done and saw that the black sun coral had opened up. Thawed out more mysis and used a turkey baster to feed it. Cool stuff.

[paul87]

Yea mine is a branching. I have yet to get a wall yet but I do like the way they form. The sun corals are cool, but always gotta feed them.

[Sniperhank]

Yep, I already have more mysis unfrozen in the fridge ready for it.

[Sniperhank]

[Sniperhank]

Oh, I also wasn't pleased with the growth on the ATS. It kept getting clogged and the flow wasn't enough. Widened the slot for the screen and I am much happier with all of the flow going over the screen.

Just catching up on your thread, not sure how I missed this one! Looks great! Sounds like you got some great pick ups. Would love to see the black sun coral opened up if you can get a good picture of it.
