A few pictures of my zoo collection. Let's start getting a huge zoo post!

Here is a few of my collection.

First the general zoo area although I have some in other places. I also have quite a few in my wife's nano. I only snapped one pic of each so some came out decent and others blurry. Would of taken more but actinics popped on full blast with the 10k's off. Forgot to get my PPE's



eagle eyes. Glass was not completely cleaned so it took away from the color.

My green sparkles

Light Blues

Neon Greens. These are pure neon even under no actinic.

Orange and Blue Mix. These really have some great lashes!

My Orange and reds. Bad pic but these are one of my favorites.

These I think are unique. They glow a different orange and are really really bright.

Here is a couple of my mixes. Really neat ones that are slowwwww growers.

I love the Neon Greens and the Orange Glow! We need to talk.




My absolute favorites, only a handful of people have them.

Those last ones are nice too! I need to get mine combined better. I have having them seperate but I'm having sand flying issues with the extra Seio in the tank. Great pics. Tommorrow I'll try to get the last few in my tank.

you're pictures blow mine away I really need a new camera, I don't think there is any way I can get close-ups like thoes to ever come out good on this camera, but here is what I was able to get. These two are my favorite because the center is split into 2 colors.







My GSP when I got it



and about 3-4 weeks later

Anyone want to trade for some wall Xenia lol? Here is a right side pic. Tank has been up since April and started stocking around may/june so I figure about 10 to 15 more sps's should get me a full tank to start growing.

Like my Xenia wall? lol. It's taken about 2 months to get 12 inches up on the glass.

If you're going SPS, do yourself a favor and remove the Xenia.
It's pretty, but 6 mnts to a year from now Xenia will be a four letter word!
Seriously, it will outgrow your SPS and cause major migranes.

It's not attached to any rocks. I have it in the sand and on the glass. I can literally remove it in 10 seconds if I want to. This stuff will never touch a rock again. I used a portland concrete mix to kill off a few stragglers and I have only one left which I'll do when I get some time.

Basically, I just cement right over them .
Then corraline grows and you never knew! (Sinister Laugh)

Left side of my tank. Most of sps is here.

Thanks for the comments. Post your zoo area even if they are small. Looks like I might have to contact reef junkie in a few weeks for some trades lol. I actually stopped getting any zoos because I had so many. So now I just throw them in my wifes tank.

Thanks Jun_Celis! I got them as a gift from a local reefer here. He is the true source.

Jay, whenever you're ready. The weather is still good, so before the fall sets in too deep we should trade.

Are you going to MACNA?

I'll post a few of ours - next time I'm home (college 2 hours away) I'll have to get updated pictures since most of these have grown or we've added more.

I thought I had several types of zoos. You definetly have a nice variety. I'm pushing my wife to have a solid rock covered zoo tank. So far, she likes the idea I'd love to see a tank that you can't see a single rock but only zoos.
