Thanks Blue !

Most of the pics are my 75. In it I have 6 fish- a Bi-color Blennie (my favorite), yellow tail Damsel, 2 Bi-color Damsels (I think that's what they're called), a Pajama Cardinal, and 1 Green Chromis (started with 6 chromis)

The 2 Clowns are in my 29 with the anemone.

Really Dreamer ??, that sucks. I don't know what could be wrong. (Although I should have put not "dial-up friendly" in the thread title.)

I see them fine logged in or not, so I don't know why you can't see them. I'm disappointed.

If you click on my Little Red House, the pics are on Photobucket as well. thanks for trying to look anyway!

Maybe my work is filtering them out. I'll try at home.

-- EDIT --

Woops, looks like it is my work's internet problem. If I try to go to i5.photobucket.com I get a DNS failure.

Wow, thank you all for the very nice replies!

The green "wormy" things are Neomeris Annulata. (Basically, a macro algae common in Hawaii. Or so I'm told anyway.) It came on the live rock which came with the tank when I bought it. Many people seem to like it, but it's really not to my personal taste. I've been slowly replacing the rock as time goes on. If anyone likes it, let me know and I can hook you up!

The Sinularia came from a small piece, maybe golf ball size, from one of the club raffles probably 1 1/2 yrs ago.

The Candycane (Is it really?, I wasn't sure) came from a frag swap roughly 3 years ago. It was a single head at the time.

The Xenia was gowing crazy on my rocks and taking over the tank. At one point, it "creeped" from a rock to the back of the tank and I decided I liked it too! I've been trading of the Xenia rocks and replacing those. Now I can have the best of both worlds.

Many of the corals I did buy, but just as many came as tiny frags (none older than 3 yrs) from either the raffles or the frag swap I went to. I'm able to share pics with you now, with much gratitude for the reefers in this club who have extended their generosity many times over.

I was looking back trying to find some of the original pics of the corals, and it seems my time line is a bit off. I don't think even the oldest items in the tank are actually more than 2 years old, not 3.

Just for fun, here are a couple I found.

These are two of the frags I took in March of last year. (The Candycane I got before that. I know it was 1 head when I got it.)



These are the two guys up top.



and here's that leather in March '05 as well. Scale it to the shroom in the background.

Hi Melissa,

I love your tank. I wish mine was like that. Talking about a coral take over, here is my tank. The Anthelia has taken over my tank. I believe it is a cousin of the Xenia coral you have. In the near future, I will be removing the Anthelia.

Right side of tank:

Oh, here is a pic of King. It is a Black Cap Gramma, my wife and kids named it.

Wow German, I feel for you man, that stuff is really taking over!

It IS pretty though

BTW- Great hearing from you! Haven't seen you in 4-ever.... hope the wife and kiddies are doing great.

Hey Justin!

Nope, no T5s. I have 3 250 W MH lighting. I got it used, but I'm pretty sure 2 of them are 6500K Ushio, and the center one is a Hamilton 10K, although I'm not positive. The lighting is deceiving because a good photographer I am NOT!. Actually have a Hamilton 14K arriving today. Can't wait to see how it looks.

Hi Justin,

I replaced the bulb just today. On it, it says it's a "250 W Radium Blue". It doesn't say, but I assume that probably means it's a 20K? Anyway, that's the bulb.

Thanks!

Interesting, reason why I was asking so much was it looks identical to the lighting scheme I was running a while back. In it also included a 6500k, and that radium through the photo anyway looks identical to the blu+ when I was using them soley for my actinic spectrum.
