My humble tank pictures

[vpham24]

Just want to post some pix of my humble tank. This is a 150g, 90g sump. I got this about 6 months ago after my other 150 cracked and leaked all over the house at 2AM.

Close up of my maxima. The blue is amazing.

Does anyone know what this could be?

[vpham24]

Got this from a friend. It was a small frag, seems like it is growing.

[vpham24]

Anyone want some? hahahaha.

[vpham24]

This was 1 polyp when I got it in January, now it has about 7.

[vpham24]

This one has a story to it. This was one of 3 frags that I first got when I first started to trade with a fellow reefer.

This was how it looks like when I got it.


Then when my tank crashed and I had to set it up all over again, this is how it turned out. Would you say that it is a bit pizzed?



Now, it is encrusting, growing babies and the color is drastically different from what it was. The polyps looks like a bouquet of flowers.

I started out with a few rics and then I went crazy.

[vpham24]

This guy was given to me as a small frag. Looks like he's happy.

Does anyone know what these multi-species rock is?

[vpham24]

When I got this piece, it was pink and wasn't as meaty. Now it covers about 6-7 inches across.

[vpham24]

My bubble. It was about 3-4 inches when I got it. Now it's around 7-8 inches across when opened.

Xenias got some life. Everytime you see them pumps and move, it looks so cool. Everyone seems to say that they grow like weeds, I do see it, but my weeds grow faster than these guys.

I want some of your Rics, When you are ready to sell, let me know.

Great looking Tank.

No Really where did you get the Rics from?

[vpham24]

I got this lord when i first fragged my first colony. Brahm, if you see this thread, you got a picture of the frag I trade to you?

This is how it looks like when I got a picture from brahm.


This is what it looks like when I got it.


This is how it looks now.

This is a funny one. A few months ago, these guys shows up in my backyard. My house has a bar gate on the side, so this mother led her young to my backyard and hung out for a couple of hours. Then she picks them up and led them away. They lined up and follows their mother everywhere. I haven't seen them since.

[vpham24]

lchase12, thanks man, honestly I don't sell anything in my tank. Most of them I got them from etropicals.com. Others I got from the local LFS. The florida rics, I purchased online. The Yuma, I got locally.

the acan were the post starts with "this one has a story" is sweet. selling a polyp?

[vpham24]

Here's another shot of my multi species rock.

[vpham24]

xdusty6920, sorry man, I don't sell these puppies. I'll trade them one of these days. thanks for asking. That one is really hardy. That has got to be my favorite acan since it has a story to it. Just wait, I got a few more story left.

[vpham24]

This one is weird. My first colony I got from another reefer who was basically selling everything in his tank. This piece was bleached out and was white. He kept it in his sump. So I got it for $30. I didn't know what it was, my friend told me that it's an Acan, he says if I don't like it then he can buy it from me. Well, since I didn't know what it was cause this was when I first started, I sold it to him cause he helped me out a lot. Then it turns out like this a few months later. Boy, I was banging my head everytime I see it. Then one day, his chiller didn't worked and most of this coral died.



So now this is how it looks like. It is currently staying with me. I'm bringing it back to life. When I got it back, it was the size of a small button. Now it's back to a full inch and is growing. The first pix was taken under VHO, now it is under 250 20K MH

[vpham24]

There's two type on this one rock. The eye is green. It's funny how the color changed to orange as it was kinda green in the beginning.

[vpham24]

Actually, looks like there are 3 diff type of acan on that last piece.

[vpham24]

the poor zoo, just minding his own business and come out of nowhere, this piece is shooting at it.
