pic update yo! I'll try to get a monthly pics update from here on.. they'll be some top downs every so often too to document the progression shots of some frags... :)

by far one of my favorite Aussie lords... really like the pink ring w/ Rainbow accents.. not the best pic though...

nice trio... BackDrafts, OPE, and Aussie lords...

BackDrafts from TEC (reefboy)...

Pink Elephants from TEC also...

P. Grandis from a local friend finally coloring up...

FTS as of 06-01-08.. lots of frags still acclimating.. will clean up the sand bed in a few weeks... :)

The P.Grands are looking good Marv, inch them out into the light. Are they eating krill yet?

Thanks Rob... it's def taking them a while to color up but slowly but surely they are... I'll let them all color up a little before I move them for more light... :)

here's a better shot of them...

this is a crappy shot of SuperMan zoas but it'll do for documentation purposes... they are just a tad smaller than Tubs blues but the blue is really bright and the red skirts are intense..

here's a shot of OPE's from TEC (reefboy)

So you say you're using Radiums Marvin? Looks awful white....or did you just adjust the WB on the pictures?

Thanks.. can't wait til they get their full coloration.. :)

on the Canon PS SD 800 IS, there is an UnderWater feature... it was the best auto feature that takes out as much blue on the reef pics as possible... when the tank is ready, I'll start having people come by again... :)

Cool...just curious because I too have a 20K Radium 250W and I was like "Wait, my tank is NOT that white" :).

That lineatus is awesome!!

update... :)

I added a young male Rhomboid into the mix of wrasses... he's doing well and mingling with the HI Flame and Lineatus... :D

also, the Tunze nano skimmer is keeping up with the extra bio load and feeding I've added into the daily regimen.. I'll keep my eye on the corals to see if it's enough to keep the fishes and corals happy for the long run.. :)

lastly, collection has resumed over the past two months and I have received some really nice corals.. I'm just getting everything happy and organizing the coral / color combo before I take some more pics.. :)

I had time to work on the tank last night... I was able to clean the glass with razor, change carbon, velcro'ed controller inside the stand, and made a bunch of frags... I was also able to mess around with the aquascaping, adding newly located frags w/ LR to fill in the gaps... I'm starting to like it and can't wait to grow out some pieces... I also took a pic of one of my favorite morphs of Aussie lords (Rainbow center, bright pink ring, white/red outer ring)... I've had it for about 2 months now and it's getting better every week.. here's a few shots... I will try to get a FTS when I get some time... I still have frags laying around all over so I didn't want to take a FTS... LoLz..

WOW! really?!? we didn't have any issues besides our broken gate... I'm glad our house only had that small surge.. must've been a really bad shower and wind passing by...

Thanks for stopping by JR, now I need to stop by and see your eye candies.. :)
