the new show piece:

also got jack-o-lantern lepto, 24k gold chalice, and an orange lobo. getting cramped, weeding out the cheaper coral!

pieces from exotic-aquatics. highly recommended. great prices, good packaging, awesome communication, very healthy frags.

more pictures soon :)

FINALLY got a decent picture of this blue acan. man it is hard to take a picture of a blue coral under
blue light.

the green just runs down through the mouth. best $15 ever!

Sweet tank.

I see you're in East Lansing too... and you run a nanobox TIDE. Are you controlling it with a BlueFish? I just ordered a mini and would be interested in your opinion and advice on the light. I too am a gorgonian fan (pun intended). Any interest in a G. ventalina frag?

Thanks,
Tom

yes I am.

my opinion...I burned the hell out of my zoas. other than that it's been fantastic once you learn to use it. I don't see much growth but that might be other factors (like my hands being in the tank daily lol) the storm controller was junk, you're lucky the bluefish is just included now.

WOULD I?! OF COURSE!! I've only seen one in real life....in Virginia. I've been keeping my eye out but I NEVER see them around.

thanks!

I never said. at first it was a desk lamp and now it's a ecoxotic panorama RGB LED. honestly the macro algae isn't doing too well but that might be the GFO doing its work as well.

the move went well. didn't lose anything except for the frozen food, oops!

next update should be transferring to the fusion 10.

shrimp order coming Friday, needed to restock as I've lost a few moving so much and being out of town frequently during the summer. here's my current stock list:

-3 sexy shrimp (they've been with me since the beginning, I love them!)
-1 female harlequin
-2 pedersons cleaner shrimp
-Pom Pom crab
-harlequin serpent star
-red nano brittle star

coming in Friday:
-white spot anemone shrimp
-brunn's cleaner shrimp
-XS blood shrimp (probably going in another tank)
-blue porcelain crab
-orange fiddler crab (for sump)

doing another kpaquatics order for my NPS tank so I'll get two white spot cleaner shrimp then as well.
