Wanted to sample a new camera so I decided to go check out Richards system since it has been a few months since my last visit. All I can say is.......WOW!

Greg,
Those are some very very nice pics.
I have already told you before Richard. You have the nicest Acans I have ever seen. Great work bud. Keep it up!!!!

Whats up with the scolys tissue degeneration around the outside areas?...

Rescues?

[gcarroll]

I guess, I don't really know much about them. Richard tends to be the type of person that is patient, so I am sure they will teturn to their former glory. More Acan and favia pics to come in a bit.

[pookstreet]

What's the new camera? Inquiring minds want to know.

I recognize a bunch of my pieces. Nice pictures. Tell me bout it. That favia from you is unreal! You just have to see it to beleive it.

[ianiwane]

Don't forget the gold and purple acan is one of my pieces too. :)

[mpoletti]

Very nice pictures Greg.

Thanks for sharing Richard's beautiful collection.

[Scythanith]

I have to agree with pookstreet, I have never seen a gold acan like the one posted above!

Beauty!

[wishntoboutside]

greg,
thanks for the great pictures. i am going to have to have a disk copy of these=). Are you sure you are not repping for a camera company on the side?cuz you just sold another camera.

Shawnts106, yes those were damaged and i bought them for there long term potential. they looked way to nice to pass up for the price. hopefully a few months they will be back to there glory

ianiwane, yes a few of those were yours, thanks agian. your yellow acan morth is awesome. i still have never seen anything this close to it.
thanks to others for the compliments. funny my tank was dirty. i hope you dont post a full tank shot on me=). My med size ATB skimmer is doing the job rather nicely on this system.
Greg you are welcome to come by anytime=) just dont forget you camera. thanks again
Richard

[Ebn]

Greg, where is the shot of the steel blue with red eyes favities. Don't remember seeing that one. I will review the pics on my computer. it is not in my photobucket pics. It sounds really nice. :eek1:

[wishntoboutside]

ebn, how big was your mother colony of this. and orgin.. interested in linage on this one.
ianwane. so many peeps ask if the frags that i got are for sale. i need to hide these guys. steel blue with red eyes. greg got dizzy and did not take the sunglass i offered him when he came in. i will take a shot and add to it later on.
kenny, come on by and i will make you a frag of that pink one.=)

[ianiwane]

Richard, that shot that ebn took is of my colony. It originally came from Clint at diamonds in the reef. Its a pretty good sized colony.

Its a pretty good sized colony. I think he wants to see how good sized. :eek1:

[ianiwane]

haha I just counted it, 40-50 polyps.

[wishntoboutside]

ian, the came from clint. interesting, he definately has brought in some nice stuff in the past. funny with all of the rainbow hype ones like this are often overlooked. you got a great score on that one.
greg, can you give me some info on that camera?
thanks

[kev apsley]

WOW! Great pics Greg! thanks for the eye candy!

Richard, I was hoping to catch a shot of the secret new favia you have ;) I guess I'll have to wait! LOL

wait.....what's that coral in your avatar???

[Henry760]

Nice pics Greg! Richard has one of the
best LPS collections around :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[whodah]

Nice Acans!

For some reason, A&W popped into my head when I first saw this one. Not a direct match, but close!

kev the avatar is one of my "asssie moon corals" named the brown wonder. one of the brownest corals i ever got that colored up nice. i dont think it is a favia thought but nice.

henry thanks for the compliments. stopping by soon? i would like to see your on the 28th proir to bruces barbque is that is ok let me know

whooda.. so is this now called the rootbeer float acan.
somehting about that fresh made rootbeer. i could almost drink a gallon of it=). but not any more life as a diabettic does require some changes. do they still do the mama and papa burgers?
hmm whooda = hector? how is that sponge doing?

[kev apsley]

Dang Richard, talk about slapping some lipstick on a pig to make her look good, that beauty was a brown out special? WOW!

[wishntoboutside]

kevin that is too funny. yes when it arrived it was brown with brown eyes. the only reason i held on to it because it was from austrialia. only fraged a few times. i know miquel's GF from fragle reef loved it so they were given a piece for there own collection.
here is a picture of what i may have looked like when i got it. could be confused with another piece. i do know the outside was that brown

There you go naming my acan lol. haha. I like A&W Acan better.

[Gomer]

Rich...don't make me spend more money!

PS, when are you going to be making a trip up here again?

:P

[wishntoboutside]

ianwane :lol: too funny. its orgin is from you so i will follow. not to many of my acans have been named, a few of the favias got some names but its hard to do it to all ones corals. A and W acan it is. i must admit it has a nice ring to it.

gomer i am over due for a bayarea vacation. my birthplace SF and grew up in pacifica. i will be heading up there by end of summer for a lil r and r i will post you prior. i would highly recomment comming down to socal for REEF A POLZA. this 2 day event is going to go off the hook.

kev. when your ready for a frag pack let me know and pm your address i owe you something for starting the favia thread.

incase ones were wondering i feed my tank a bunch or cylepeeze,rotifers, zeo amino lps, warnermarine ultimate aminos. kinda alternate. and of course a bunch of reef nutrition goodies. honeslty i think my acans thrive off of the clownfish poo. here is an older picture when things were off color.

[Gomer]

[mariner2005]

Any full tank shots?

[whodah]

Heya,

Yup yup, I agree on the A&W rootbeer, and they do still make burgers too. :D

But nope, I'm not Hector. Close guess though! :lol: My name is Jeremy.

Cya!
-WD?

[wishntoboutside]

here is a recent front shot of those that asked to see a tank shot. my colonies are thriving in a shallow 10 inch +/- tank.
