Finally I got to see how your tank looks Capn! Looks great! Everything looks so big! That toadstool is pretty cool! Did it split like that? I like it! Very nice

ReeferChick85 · 02/04/2010, 03:09 AM

Awesome tanks everyone! I love seeing the different variety of LPS tanks out there!

dbraun15, love the aquascaping and your beautiful tank!! Nicely done. Is that a Leopard wrasse you got? And what kind of fish is that little guy that's hiding under the rocks on the left side? too cute

Thanks!! The leopard wrasse was my first fish in the tank and would only eat pods/frozen, but is now eating everything that I throw in the tank--even nori!! The guy under the rocks "was" a lemon peel mimic, or chocolate tang--I have a new one in quarntine, but he is only about 2". I just added 4 dispar anthias last night and am excited to see some additional color/movement.

This thread is great. Made me change my longterm plans from SPS to LPS!

Wow, I'm not sure what is more interesting, Tom. Your stock list, or your obscenely detailed record keeping skills

Paul B · 02/06/2010, 02:32 PM

That is some good record keeping skills, I have no idea what kind of powerheads or heaters I have. I would have to crawl around under the tank, clean off the corroded name tags and try to figure it out. Some of the powerheads are so old, I think there made out of wood

I don't even know what company built my tank. Probably Christopher Columbus fish tank company

Ok, I admit to being an accountant although I think I obsess more with my reef tank!

Yeaahhhhh, baby!

My 40g LPS/Frag growout tank. If you look closely, you can see my Carmabi peeking out from underneath the Duncans.

64Ivy, What is that big coral on the left hand side? It looks like a bouquet of flowers.

Palythoa. In fact, this is the oldest coral colony I have at 13 years and one of the few to survive the crash.

PoukieBear · 02/06/2010, 09:43 PM

WOW ! That's what I originally thought they were, but I changed my mind, thinking "NAH! It's too HUGE to be Palys....Must be something else."

Those things look like they are on steroids! Congrats !

I think they are called cinnamon polyps...
