[EvilInSin]

I really think you all need to post some pics for me to look at. I dont care about quality/content, just post some pics for me to look at! TYVM!

[TippyToeX]

Well here is a few of a coral I was given as a gift from a dear friend. I am pretty much in love with this coral. :p

oooo Pretty! I love them both! now I will start another thread so that I stay on topic.

[TippyToeX]

Thanks Dusty! :)

[LVfishguy]

I don't think that anyone wants to post after Amy so I guess that I will get it over with.
This is my little 1/2 gallon that I have in my store.

I was playing with my camera and I am still trying to figure is out a bit.

[LVfishguy]

let me get that a little bigger I guess

[TippyToeX]

I wanna see that nano Chris. so hurry up and figure it out! :D ;) I love how some people can create the most stunning nano reefs.

[EvilInSin]

:hmm6: I'm going blind trying to see that hehe I'll wait for the big pic I like that 17 pic you got on your gallery too!

[LVfishguy]

sorry haven't been able to play with the computer much here the last couple of days. If you REALLY want to see it you can come down to my shop and it is sitting on the counter there.

[TippyToeX]

Man Chris I need to get my butt down there soon. :( I'm a slacker lately.

[Nanighan]

Aim, how 'bout some full tank pics. For as long as I've known you, I don't think Ive ever seen a full tank shot of yours.

[panamaembraced]

These are no where near Amy's shots, but you said you wanted pics...

Full Tank

Sorry about the Date/Time on this one. I couldn't pass up how well it came out of my pos coolpix.

My one true love...

And I like the way this one "falls off"

[panamaembraced]

Sorry, somehow missed that whole LA reefers thing...

I guess I'm just jealous. I don't have anything like that here in the panhandle...

[Shak]

Great looking tank Panama!

[TippyToeX]

Those are wonderful pictures Panama! :D Please feel free to keep posting them here if you can.

[dallast]

i need to tak many more:rolleye1:
but i have a couple in my gallery .. just click the little camera icon above.

and those aren't too bad considering they are from a 1.0 megapixel handycam!

[EvilInSin]

I saw your Nano today Chris its nice! so so tiny! I would like one like that for my dest somday, or maybe a dwarf seahorse one like that.

[LVfishguy]

It was originally put up for a group of dwarfs that came in one day. They were smaller than the lenght of my finger nail! They never should have been shipped. lost all the poor little guys but, it gave birth to my little pico reef. Takes some daily attention but, not to bad. I have got the daily top off thing worked out and all is well!

ain't much yet, as i just filled it up on sunday. :)

[EvilInSin]

I put a pic of my new Ric up here if you want to see.

Ricordia Here (http://archive.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=422186)

[TippyToeX]

New addition. :D

[orionsmamma]

Amy he is COOL! What kind of a crab is that?

[TippyToeX]

Thanks Donna! :D It is an Anemone crab. They are also listed as Porcelain crabs. They are filter feeders. I dislike crabs in a reef tank as a rule, but these guys are 100% reef safe and harmless. They use anemones as their host (if you don't have an anemone it will use other corals gladly).

Look at the picture Greg posted here (http://archive.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=423784). You can see it's filter fans.

[LVfishguy]

I knew that you would give into the crabs one day!~

[TippyToeX]

:D It's the opportunistic omnivorous crabs I'll never give into!

[orionsmamma]

Where did you pick that guy up? I'm getting that "gotta have one" itch lol!

[TippyToeX]

I got that guy from Jackie at Tropical Expressions. She had one more left Donna! :D Better go there tomorrow morning.

[EvilInSin]

nice Amy! I love those lil guys! now if only ours would come out of hidein!

[the Undone guy]

how much do they run amy? i've seen them before, but not in that much detail, and i had no idea that they were just filter feeders, now i want one~!! i saw one at ATM1 a few weeks back too...

[TippyToeX]

Dusty, does yours go to any one coral as a host? I've heard they like to move to different host corals often. Wondering how true that is. :)

Bob, he cost me $8. Can't beat that. I wouldn't pay any more, unless it was a very colorful one.

[the Undone guy]

8 bucks huh?@! im getting one next time i find one. He's awsome. he'll have to go in my 20 gallon though, damn eel!=)

[EvilInSin]

Mine was in the anemone till we got it out of the tank. Now I havent seen him in about a month. Hubby said he saw the "fans" out the other day on the back of the rocks but I havent seen with my own eyes to know for sure he still lives.
Yes those suckers are cheap and cute!

[TippyToeX]

Thanks for the info Dusty. Mine seems to like ricordia land for the time being. :) Here he is with his fans out.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v92/TippyToex/126_2690.jpg

[Shak]

I got 6 of them with my rock, all doing well and fanning the water like maniacs, definatly a great addition to any tank.

Mine are not shy anymore, just look at them like i have cyclopeeze in my hand and they run out and start doing the wave.

[the Undone guy]

if i dont have any corals or anything in my 20gal would he be sad? And how do i make sure he'd be being fed properly, i've got like 3 clam thingies that seem to be alive still~

[TippyToeX]

Matt that is very cool! Now I want a whole army of them. :D I fed cyclop-eeze tonight and I could see him enjoying life.

Bob, no worries. :) as long as they are well fed I'm sure he will be happy to call any rock his home. They are filter feeders so they like the plankton and micro plankton. So we are talking green water (phytoplankton) or little itty bits of food such as cyclop-eeze. A tank with some good nutrients for it to eat should be fine.

[the Undone guy]

cyclop-eeze it is! time to start the phone calls to jaque~

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v321/mons00n/vandamdance.gif

[EvilInSin]

WTH is that lil video?!? made me sit and watch it for like 5 min!

That would be cool to have 6 of them all fanning at once! you need to get and post a pic of that please!

[EvilInSin]

just wanted to tell you that Jaque (cheynne/jones right? ) has one of em in sand bed tank in front of the register area. Its a BIGun too! saw it today

[the Undone guy]

i'll have to go pick one up~

[LVfishguy]

He Bobby, my store has the Cypopeeze now so you don't have to go all the way out there if it.

[Shak]

Was just gonna mention that Chris, I picked up a couple bars at GVA last week, they have a ton of it.

Its pretty fun to watch at feeding time, they all come to the front of the tank where the current is strongest and starting waving like lunatics. Its like i have my own reef tank cheerleading team.

[dallast]

here is a full shot of my 60 gal. reef tank in our frontdesk of our office (notice the beautiful charts on the table behind...).

this was taken the first day bleaching pocillopora was noticed. he is located in the center just right of the outflow.

http://reefcentral.com/gallery/data/1/5619fulltank1.jpg

he is gone now, so need something new!

Where are the pics!! I need to see that! Please!


Dallast very nice tank! is that another reef tank in the back I see?

[opihi]

nice tank Dallas! amazingly clean & well laid out.

[dallast]

thanks for that! had a lot of ups and downs in this tank, believe me!

no, that's not another tank, it's just the cpr overflow to the sump. but there is a 6 gal. nano just above this tank on top of the desk (not in picture).

let's see some more tanks!

[TippyToeX]

Wow Dallas! :D Looks great. It must be soothing for people to watch as they wait. Do you get a lot of feedback on it day to day?

[dallast]

oh yes, everyday! the kids really love it and the parents/adults are always asking questions. i have inspired a few people to get into the hobby. they always ask how much work is involved...you have to be honest! this acknowledgement usually frightens a few away.

it is definitely a positive force in our very non-dental-like atmosphere we have created. i think our patients prefer the less clinical look and feel that some practices have. and my wife is a great dentist and person in general....that who really keeps them coming back!

okay, enough gushing. let's get more creatures in my tank!

[TippyToeX]

That is really awesome. I get scared out of my whits when I am at the dentist. It would be nice to watch the coral sway in the current and not think about drills. :D

maybe we should print up some LVVR decals to put on Dallas' tank :D ;)

[TippyToeX]

Hey Dusty, I forgot I promised to show you the ric that was chowing down on a big ol chunk of krill. :) Kinda a crappy picture but oh well.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v92/TippyToex/127_2721.jpg

[orionsmamma]

Amy, that is not what I would call a crappy pic :D !!

[LVfishguy]

Like the little bristle worm behind it. I think that they are kinda cute...

[TippyToeX]

Thanks Donna. I thought it was a little to fuzzy.

:D I think they are kinda cute too.

He got that bite of krill to the right in the ric pic

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v92/TippyToex/127_2723.jpg

[orionsmamma]

Amy, it my nothave been as clear as some of your pics, but way better than any I take!

I know this is a little off topic, but....

All of my bristle worms are half black and half the color of yours. I've never seen one in my tank that was all one color. Is it possible that they are all breeding all of the time?

[EvilInSin]

I think they are nice shots Amy! funny too. Thanks for posting!
