Seafansar's 150 gallon

[seafansar]

Thanks! Yeah, WWC is great. Kinda went on a shopping spree there this week!

 

[seafansar]

really like that cyphastrea (at least thats what i think it is)

The meteor shower cyphastrea?

Yeah, that's a great coral. Got it from WWC too.

i completely understand. we went during their 2 yr anniversary party and got some goodies :)

I went too! Maybe we bumped into each other and didn't even know it. lol. I got these palys during the party. I like being there when it's empty. Just a little too crowded to enjoy all the corals during the party.

Forgot to add this pic earlier. Looks like her head exploded! But she was just yawning.

Nice aquascape. Liking it.

Thanks! It gives the fish a lot of open space to swim, but still plenty of places to hide. lol.

Also it's open enough that there aren't really any dead spots in the tank (the MP40's help with that too. lol). We're trying to not crowd the corals too much to give them plenty of room to grow. I think it'll look pretty cool once the SPS grow into big colonies hanging over the sides of the rocks.

oh thats cool. i bet we saw eachother there. i hope to get back over there again in next few weeks. only bout an hour there for me.
but yeah i agree it was completely packed and just soooo many people.
Nice palys you got i saw them there.... darth mauls? right?
Well tank looks great and love all your new additions !!!! :)

 

[seafansar]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they are darth mauls, even though Victor swore up and down that they were sopranos. lol.

 

[ahayes13]

[ahayes13]

cant wait to see some pics of the new stuff you have coming..... :)


did you get your incredible hulk acro at wwc ?

 

[MikeB]

Beautiful. I love the aquascape in the new tank. Great Job!

 

[seafansar]

did you get your incredible hulk acro at wwc ?

No, I got it from reefexotic.net. The stuff I got from WWC are the purple tipped acro (from their show tank), meteor shower, mystic sunset, jedi mind trick, red chalice, mellow yellow chalice, a smooth skinned turquoise acro I forgot to list (it's in the center of their show tank), orange cap, and darth maul palys.

Tomorrow I should be getting 5 blood shrimp (my boyfriend went crazy cause they were on sale), a tank bred Blue Flavivertex Pseudochromis, and 3 more chalices.

Beautiful. I love the aquascape in the new tank. Great Job!

Thanks!

 

[ahayes13]

cool. sounds goods. okay well lets see so far when were ready to trade we can trade your meteor shower and mystic sunset for my orange and white and tropicana twister... :) but im sure i will be able to think of some others too lol

 

[seafansar]

Ok I finally uploaded pics of the new stuff.

First off the fire shrimp! Got 5 of them plus the one I already had, so now there's 6 in the tank.
They all look the same, so you get the idea. lol

Next up, the pseudochromis! This guy is so cute and funny! The anthias wanted to show him who's boss when I first added him, but now they've calmed down. He like to challenge the orange shoulder tang by puffing up his gill plate covers to show how big he really is. lol. And flares his fins in front of the mandarin who puts up his and then keeps on him merry way.

And finally the 3 new chalices. Got them from e-bay. We weren't sure if we were going to win any of them, so we tried for 3 that looked pretty similar hoping we'd at least get one. Well no one else bid on them! Oops! So now we have two that look almost the same, but one that looks different.

Pink Taffy chalice

Cotton candy chalice

Superman chalice. This one looks the least healthy. I'm hoping it will make it.

And some random pics and video.

BGM

 

[ahayes13]

nice additions sara. love the chalices, oh and the pseudo. they are such cute fish!

 

[seafansar]

Thanks! I haven't figured out where I want to put the chalices yet. As more and more corals get added it gets harder and harder to decide where to put the new ones!

Here's a couple of videos to show the flow in the tank. I really love the MP40W's!

 

[ahayes13]

nice flow :)

 

[ahayes13]

palmers blue milli
meteor shower cyphastrea
mystic sunset monti
bgm chalice

darth mauls
