I was able to visit and take some pics of her beautiful tank last weekend and thought I would share.

I really need to find an excuse to get out there and see it one of these days.

 

[Ron S.]

Junior I'm sure you need some kind of equipment for the new tank. Sounds like a good enough excuse to me.

That Hammer "Ball" is amazing. In perspective - how big is it? Looks like hundreds of heads! I have always loved that piece in here tank. A definate focal point of a true show piece.

 

[Ron S.]

Couldn't tell you how many heads but was the size of a basketball. The tank is 30"tall to give you a idea. There is a second one right behind it, not as big.

Those palys? with the long skirts are insane, very cool looking. I love that hammer as well.

 

[Ron S.]

aquarius77 they are duncans, and they did have crazy long tentacles.

Thanks for the kind comments:)

Ron it was a pleasure having you over.
I wish the tank was more settled in, and I had more time to shop for corals! Still pretty empty looking. I like a nice grown-in look like yours, and frags dont show much in a tank this size.

Ron did great on the pics

 

[Garth Schafluetzel]

that torch in your pics can you give me your care info on it like lighting flow and such

 

[dlberlin]

Hi Garth
Hammers, Torch, etc... generally like just enough flow to gently keep the tentacles moving,and med light levels. I keep mine about 1/2 way down in the tank under 14k 250w MH.

thanks im haveing problems with one thats the same as yours im going to give it a little more light and less flow and see how it does its not my tank so i dont know the parameters but i will try and test a couple on my break today with the kits i have and see if theres something out of wack. the tetecls want to come out and some do but they are deflated and skinny almost like sweepers but its obviouse its the main tentacls of the polyp
