+ACampbell Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Although I agree the LFS get keep the awesome stuff for themselves in their super secret stash. I know a bunch of those corals are Randy's personal corals. The clams get me every time. Can't believe how well the pink birdsnest has done. Gabe I'm gonna update my picture (although its no contest to RCA's) unless you wanna come take a pro shot for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caferacermike Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 To add my bit about Randall's tank. When a person is friendly and helpful he is rewarded in life. Many of those corals are not from the store at all and are in fact gifts made from generous reefers tanks. I know that at least 2 of the pieces are frags from my tanks inhabitants. Fair is fair. I count Randy's tank as an equal. From what i've seen, I haven't noticed any super exotica in there, just a really well maintained tank. The results show nicely.

caferacermike Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 The only thing that sucks is that you super nano guys get to take awesome full tank shots. I keep looking at them and wonder how anyone with a full tank shot could ever compare to the intensity of a nano in a full frame shot. There should be a rule that says that nano pics can only be submitted in thumb, avatar, size to make it fair. /JK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aggieMEDIC Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 I was tlaking to carlos at rca today and he was saying that nano is mostly stuff from the store that didn't sell. stuff that was in tank for (some of it) up to months before they finally decided to put it into the display. the runt of the litter wins again so to speak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crab Rangoon Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Thanks for the kind words, guys. To be honest, nothing in our display tank is cherry picked. The Crocea clam was just a random grab out of one of our very first marine orders around 2 years ago, and has been living in our nano displays since day 1. My Silver/Pink Maxima was just a random clam I happened to win at a raffle at MACNA last year. The Pom-Pom Xenia, Pink+Blue Birdsnest, (x-tra long) Green Star Polyp, 2 types Mushroom, and 2 Zoo varieties were all donated from customers, many of which were originally purchased here anyway. As an employee, I'm not allowed to cherry pick things for my own tank that enter the store as retail pieces either, and I have to give things a 3 day chance to sell to the customers before I can snatch it up, so I wouldn't call the 4 Zoo varieties I threw in top picks (not in their original form, at least, they've just colored up really nicely). And the rest of the corals in there? Sometimes I find a piece here and there that has 3-5 polyps on it, drifting around a coral tank, so I drop it in to see if it'll cling anywhere and take off, or if a coral's been here for way too long for as much of a looker as it is, then I take mercy on it and give it a new home in the tank up front. Just thought I'd shed some light about how we stock our tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ACampbell Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Took this shot today. More accurately represents my tank. sleepy4.gif I'm proud to say my newly acquired yasha is doing awesome. It is such a cool fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishypets Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Someone should take a pic of the cube @ Kingfish. It would have my vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caferacermike Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 That's awesome how you can now click on the pic and see it in full glory. I still wish I could take a full frame shot from 2 feet away so you can actually see my tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
