cmanning Posted June 6, 2008 Author Share Posted June 6, 2008 Orange digitata was added on 2/08. We acquired this 3" single branch frag from some good friends (Dave & Robin), and its branching quite nicely. This frag was also acquired from Dave & Robin. Love the bluish/purple polyps and thriving as well. This frag was added on 4/26/08. Thanks Dave & Robin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beefytang Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Very nice! The clowns are really great too. Any pics of your awesome bow-front? It's definitely one of the coolest tanks I've seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmanning Posted June 8, 2008 Author Share Posted June 8, 2008 We'll be doing a water change and some maintenance in the afternoon, so after that I'll try and get some pics. Hopefully the gobies won't be too shy and they'll cooperate during the photo shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmanning Posted August 5, 2008 Author Share Posted August 5, 2008 We got this Radiata Urchin thru a trade w/ janky jameson. It was nice meeting someone new to the club and I'm glad he had a wonderful 1st time experience trading w/a fellow reefer. I'm glad he's eating w/gusto!! You got him well trained, Joseph. And here he is facing perfectly for a great shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmanning Posted August 6, 2008 Author Share Posted August 6, 2008 Beautiful! Are they poisonous? From what I have read I think they can be toxic or harmful to people.....just like any other urchin, I would guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmanning Posted August 6, 2008 Author Share Posted August 6, 2008 I want one! I know....we jumped on the opportunity when it showed up.......I've heard there's a waiting list on some of the LFS to obtain this type of urchin. Whether that's true or not, I'm unsure.

The last meeting that was hosted @ your home....we notice the urchin in your tank, beautiful, we had to have one. We got lucky and this guy eats nori on a clip. We are very pleased w/ this creature.

cmanning Posted December 29, 2008 Author Share Posted December 29, 2008 The oldest fish in our tank, about 4yrs. old. Even though the scopas tang is a pain in the ***, I love the markings it has developed around the face. So hard to capture wrasses...... but we gave it a try. Golden/ Yellow Tilefish........it's one of the least shy, bold and hardier feeder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mcallahan Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 why is the tang such a PITA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmanning Posted December 30, 2008 Author Share Posted December 30, 2008 Of the zebrasoma species -----the purple tang and the scopas are the most aggressive, the yellow tang, IMO is the least aggressive. This one basically bullied my yellow tang to death. Scopas tang tried to do the same to the purple but I think he/she met its match. Purple tang won't put up w/its bull****!! and the purple tang was a baby when we first got him. Now guess who's the boss of whom?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishypets Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 How about a FTS? I've been looking at your picture for TOTQ for a while now and I'm sure it's grown since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesL Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Those are great pictures all around, but I really love the six-line pictures... I never could get mine to stay still long enough to get decent shots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmanning Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 I got tired of following it manually.....so, my husband decided to get me a tripod and it helps immensely. After having most of the fish for three years, you learn their behavior and close to evening time....for some reason the wrasse comes up to the glass and just puts on show. We gather that maybe he/she sees its reflection around that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmanning Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 How about a FTS? I've been looking at your picture for TOTQ for a while now and I'm sure it's grown since then. I'll try..... Due to the windows and skylights there's too much natural light and causing unwanted reflection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmanning Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 Still....messing around with white balance. Need to check the right side..... we believe the capacitor is not firing up like is suppose to. Bulbs are about a year old and the right side is not completely lit (not bright enough), plus we have two T5's, 54W ea. FTS.....remember I'm no expert so still on learning stages. By the way.......don't pay attention to the coraline on the back I still need to figure how to clean the salt creep that's on the back part of the glass Got to come up w/sort of a splash guard to avoid the salt creep.....time for the thinking cap.

+mcallahan Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 My tank had the same issue and the light bulb shop replaced my capacitor for $30. Just make sure you take them the old one so they get the right part! (I had to go back 4x before they got me the right one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishypets Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Nice job on the FTS. Next time remember to adjust the left leg on your tri-pod about 1/2 lower that the others. This way you have a nice even shot and not one that slopes to the right. Oh and get that back glass cleaned too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmanning Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 Affirmative!!! True, true.....cleaned glass on the background gives it more depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
