Just a few of mine

Great pics everyone, dont stop now, I want to see more.

2 nice pinks under 130 watts, hmmmmmmm.

finding nemo= awesome tank, I love tanks with macro growing in the display. just looks natural. Are you really into Llamas?

dfcjr · #28 06/12/2006, 04:54 PM

Also, listen to this. My venture into anemone keeping begins early. Last night I'm looking into my tank with the flashlight and what do I spy? A very small anemone!!!!!!! Its smaller around than a dime and its almost completely clear. It onlyextends at night and retracts during the day. Is this an anemone? I cant get a good pic cause its so small.

dfcjr · #29 06/12/2006, 04:58 PM

OK, its extended right now, but its tucked under an overhang so I still cant get a picture.

Are there any anemones this small?

Nice BTAs.

HI Df, thanks for the compliments, and yes I have llamas. (baby llama).
Visit my web site. It is under construction but I have all of the llamas there.

Last time I was at the petting zoo with my nieces and nephew, the damn Llama nearly bit my freakin ear off

. I've taken care of some horses in my day though so I knew what to expect and deftly dodged it, hahaha.

dfcjr, be careful your tiny anemones aren't Majano or Aptaisia - both pests that you really will want to get rid of ASAP !!!

I've got three or four of those things in my tank and I also have no idea what it is. It's not aptasia or a mojano, it's just a tiny little thing that almost looks like a cross between an anemone and a fan.
Damn things came out of nowhere.
I'm keeping a close eye on them and will Joe Juice if any more of then sprout up.

rumor · #39 06/13/2006, 03:11 AM

Here's mine

dfcjr · #40 06/13/2006, 12:02 PM

Well, I know for sure its not aptasia. I'll have to look up mojanos and see what they look like.

Awesome BTA rumor!!!

55semireef · #41 06/13/2006, 12:07 PM

I wonder if this could pass as a BTA? Its not. Its a Condy. LOL. Although I do plan on getting an RBTA soon.

jbplay · #42 06/13/2006, 04:47 PM

My odd marbled green bta w/purple tips:

This was the first day in the tank under two 150w 14k MH.

boyooso · #43 06/13/2006, 04:56 PM

Wow, Jbplay.

I've never seen one of the marbled bta's blubbled. That is CRAZY looking :-)

That was right after I put it in the tank a month ago. Now it's bigger, the bubbles are fatter, and some are forked like an inflated latex glove.

55semireef= nice anemone nonetheless. I also love your avatar, my boys got their a**es handed to em by Miami, but they'll be back next year. Go Pistons!!!!

jbplay= does the marbling glow under actinics?

jonahshark · #46 06/13/2006, 07:20 PM

Here ya go. This is under 4x65PC 2 actinic 2 12000 daylight starting just today. Its been under 4x54 T5 2 actinic 2 10000 daylight for the past 6 months.

I don't run actinics, just the 14k Phoenix bulbs. He'd moved under one of my returns a couple of weeks ago and I just put him in a new spot with a cave for his foot last night. Tonight he decided he liked the new spot and ate a silverside. Some of my corals flouresce under the blue moonlights, so I'll look tonight to see if the marbling does.

dfcjr · #48 06/18/2006, 03:21 PM

OK, I just bought a 175 watt halide system. I wanted more watts, but the sensible half wasn't going for it

. What she doesnt know is that I'm going to run this along with 2 2x overdriven NO bulbs. Comes out to be about 275 watts total. My question to you guys is, What bulbs should I run? Would a 6500K halide with overdriven NO actinics be too blue?

55semireef · #49 06/18/2006, 05:04 PM

dfcjr, its weird because Condy anemones need strong lighting. MH is preferred and its living under PCs. Its toward the top but I get 4 watts per gallon in my 55 long. And when I got it, it was really white or bleached and it has come along.

Thanks for the compliments. GO Pistons!!!

BTW, I just came from Miami.
