REHEM's 120 Tank Thread...
I know that I have posted pictures all over the place, but I wanted to start an official tank thread. I will not aggravate you with the redundancy of past pics, so I will start this new thread off with a few recently purchased goodies, of course from AQUARIUMS in Edmond!
They are: Toadstool Corals Yellow Polyps and a medium sized Mushroom cap for four bucks! Toadies! TAG! Yellow Polyps Mushroom Cap With *FLASH* I brought them all home yesterday, and I think that they like the place. I can't wait to watch them grow! See ya!

Thanks! I think that I have a name for almost every one of them! I just named the Chromis "The Disciples" since there's twelve of them.

Lol, we name our fishies too. But if one goes carpet surfing, it makes it sting a little more... We just lost Bart the Toad Fish

As for the rest of the fish's names, there's: * "Baloo" the Niger Triggerfish (the bear from the Jungle Book) * "Zap" the little Sailfin Tang * "Pee Wee" the Diamond Watchman Goby * "Barney" the Purple Tang * "Larry, Moe, & Curly" are the Pajama Cardinalfish * "Tanguy" the Blue Hippo Tang * "Copper" the Copperbanded Butterflyfish * "Pledge" the Lemonpeel Angelfish * "Jeckyll & Hyde" the Percula Clownfish pair * "Agni" the Fire Shrimp * "Jacques & Saint Pierre" (2) White Banded Cleaner Shimps * "Patty" the Peppermint Shrimp * "Cash & Credit" (2) Emerald Mithrax Crabs * "Gary & Larry" (2) Tiger Snails (from Spongebob Squarepants) I think that it is pretty obvious that my 8 year old son helped me name most of these! But I have to admit that I named the snails from the Spongebob cartoon! I love that show!

I Could Have Cried Today...
I came home from work today only to find that the cats had surprised me with my metal halides!
These ballasts are almost as big as my shoe! I went with the (2)x 400 watt 20,000k Icecap kits. I've done my research, and I personally like a bluer look from my bulbs. I will balance them out with (2) 50/50 Actinics which I will also use for a dawn/dusk effect. I will mount the whole thing about 10 inches above the tank this weekend and post pics of the final set-up later! Good kitties!

Those cats gave me a good laugh. They look so over excited with the new toys Can you take some pics of the whole tank? I can't remember what the other thread was. Congrats on the new lights!

I was also able to get the metal halides mounted yesterday, and HOLY SH*T it's bright! I posted pics with just the 2 VHOs on compared with the metal halides. The difference is incredible! Now I have the patient act of breaking the new lights in, which drives me crazy! I know that sticking to the break-in is a must, but geez the short light cycles drive me nuts! The whole set-up: The 30 gal. canopy top. I tried to make them look like old trunks! The 120 gal. canopy top. The new metal halide/VHO set-up. With VHOs on only. VHOs & Metal Halides! 30 gal. occupants. 120 gal. pic with new lights! Well that's about it. I guess I'll go mow the friggin' grass now...See ya!

Other than that, I think that I have finally reached a plateau point where I just need to sit back and enjoy for a while. Next on my list of "equipment wants" is a calcium reactor, but I'm not really in a rush for it. I only have two calcium demanding critters right now, so I think that I will take my time and thoroughly research the reactor. Speaking of calcium critters though, I did purchase a Giant (gigas) Clam on Tuesday! It's beautiful and it is one of the true gigas clams that can grow up to 3 or 4 ft! Mine is already about the size of a coconut, and it is absolutely stunning! I got it at WET PETS by STEVE in Norman and I am simply captivated by it! Thanks for asking about updates! It's cool that you have your buddy to Reef with and share in the hobby. All I have are girlfriends that are jealous of the time I put into my tank, so I don't really get to talk shop that often!

Here's the pics of the Tridacna Gigas Clam. Since I don't really have any tank updates, I posted quite a few (sorry)! This is my first clam and I LOVE this thing! I also posted an update pic on that Yellow Pagoda. It's doing great!
I look forward to seeing some updates from you and happysak soon. See ya!

The clam is huge, and very beautiful! They are fascinating. Has it reacted to the fish as they swim over, or the vibrations made when the TV is on loud? It's amazing how they can sense things.
We've had our two 6 year old Derasa clams in a holding vat for the last couple of days waiting on the tank to be ready for us to move them back into. Yes, I am as inpatient as the rest when it comes to getting a tank going. They squirt water like a fountain every time they sense movement around their vat. (The water isn't very deep over them). They are teling me tho hurry up and get them back into a big home!
