My Ellerkeldia rubra has some appetite! I came home from work today and it a large bulge in its stomach...it was 3, Apogon parvulus. He is now king of the tank!

Today, picked up a centrogenys vaigiensi. It is an interesting fish, it is actually false scorpionfish. It belongs to the Family Serranidae. True scorpionfishes belong to the Family Scorpaenidae. Unlike scorpionfishes, the centrogenys vaigiensi does not have spines on its head or venom glands.

Very pretty!

drewfish · 02/14/2010, 03:32 PM

Looks amazing. Getting an Artisan in the next few months. Can you post a full tank shot if you get the chance? Again, amazing tank.

Aquabacs · 02/14/2010, 07:51 PM

@Western Reefer Thanks, Moses!

@drewfish Thank you very much! Artisan by Cad is a great tank! I have to work on tanking a few full tank shots.

Great shot!

Aquabacs · 02/15/2010, 04:06 PM

Thanks! Took it my old faithful point and shoot. Hopefully I can rent a lens this week for my SLR (cant decide on what lens to purchase so I rent them when I need them).

Mike

Kreeger1 · 02/15/2010, 04:15 PM

Never new you could rent them. I would love to try a tamron or nikkor 105 macro. How much does it cost to rent lens and from what store?

Aquabacs · 02/15/2010, 04:41 PM

It is a little secret that most dont do. If you ever undecided on a lens or just need one for a few shots, rent it.
For the Nikkor 150 you can rent it from rentglass dot com. It is $42 a week, if you rent it longer it is cheaper.
Zeiss & Sigma use lensrentals dot com.
For Tamron, I know borrowlenses has the 90mm but I am not sure about the 180.

Tamron has a new 60mm I have been also looking to try out.

Picture of the hardest worker in my tank. Hard to get a good photo of him.

Mike

Aquabacs · 02/16/2010, 11:16 PM

I figure it was time to share this coral with everyone. This is one of the oldest Azoo corals I own and probably my favorite.

Mike

Kreeger1 · 02/17/2010, 06:28 PM

what is that? looks like a duncan/dendro cross

Kreeger1 · 02/18/2010, 10:39 AM
