New little hitchhiker discovered... a tiny red decorator crab! I love these guys. This one is only about a 1/2" tall.

And a macro of an unidentified stony coral from TBS.

BigAl2007 · 10/02/2012, 08:13 AM

SCORE! Great pics Dennis!

Myst666 · 10/02/2012, 11:05 AM

Tank is looking

AMAZING

d2mini · 10/03/2012, 01:46 PM

Thanks, Al and Myst666!

drummereef · 10/03/2012, 10:55 PM

Great pics! Nice score on the SPS hitchhiker.

d2mini · 10/08/2012, 09:49 AM

Thanks, Brett!

Got a new tank member this weekend, a Desjardini Sailfin Tang.

And a shot of my Filefish from TBS. This guy has at least doubled in size! He's as big as my large blue/green chromis. Still seems to be behaving himself. Hopefully it stays that way.

shaggss · 10/08/2012, 10:01 AM

Great shots Dennis!

Now the ultimate question! When will you grade your LEDs to GHLs?

Ducking for cover!

d2mini · 10/08/2012, 12:07 PM

hahahaha, I don't think so.

Upgrade to the Radion Pro, maybe.

EvilChicken · 10/18/2012, 08:46 AM

Any new updates???

d2mini · 10/19/2012, 10:03 AM

No, not yet. But soon!

d2mini · 10/21/2012, 07:02 PM

Got a new ORA Red Goniopora and it's finally starting to open up.

BigAl2007 · 10/21/2012, 07:21 PM

LOL, you are right... it does kinda look like a stony goni.

Hey Dennis what's the best way to acclimate gorgs and sponges? I know they can't hit air. I was curious how you did it.

drummereef · 10/22/2012, 11:03 AM

Great video Dennis! Everything is looking awesome.

sirreal63 · 10/22/2012, 11:25 AM

Dennis, the tank just looks better and better every day! Great video too.

Float in bag to acclimate temp, then hold bag under water while removing item from bag. That's it!
Make sure to research for specific light/flow requirements for each as they differ from one to the other.

Good grief it's looking great. I'm impressed that you've kept so many things alive that came on the TBS rocks. Looks like even the sponge is thriving.

Myst666 · 10/23/2012, 06:11 PM

Great Video, Love all the neat stuff Richard sent you.

Thanks! Overall, the sponges and gorgs seem to be doing better for me than they have in the past. Hopefully it stays that way!
