Well the tank has finished it's cycle quckly thanks to some live rock and live sand I picked up.

GSP and Green Zoas from Jake

Added some more coral frags today, bought from a cincy reef member. Pink Zoas, Green zoas with yellow mouth, and an orange digi.

Full tank shot.

Poor guys in that big clean tank all alone

. Looking good man I like the yellow mouth zoo's. What happened to that bag of coralline ?

lightningfront · « **Reply #2 on:** January 03, 2009, 21:02:41 »

crumbled the coraline up and spread over the tank. because of the current in the tank most of wound up behind the rocks. I stuck some in cracks on the rocks though. It's starting to spread pretty good some of the green coraline on the rocks i bought from monfort is spreading also.

lightningfront · « **Reply #3 on:** January 05, 2009, 18:08:26 »

More pics.

Picked up some more Zoas and got my first fish.

Looks healthy to me. You need to get bigger frags to share. I mean have.:l

lazylivin · « **Reply #5 on:** January 05, 2009, 19:27:36 »

Great choice on those Black Clowns! Very nice and healthy looking, the were obviously raised well.

LOVE your aquascaping!

lightningfront · « **Reply #7 on:** January 08, 2009, 21:20:05 »

Thanks to all for the comments. I have re-arranged the rocks 4 or 5 times and each time I find myself thinking I don't like something just right. I'm satisfied with it now so I most likely won't move them again.

lightningfront · « **Reply #8 on:** January 10, 2009, 00:30:01 »

He's hiding behind the rocks but I picked up a skunk claener shrimp.

Green and pink hammer coral.

Green Frogspawn.

Blue Xenia

Some really nice red blue and yellow zoas

Blue Candy Canes

Green/Blue Cap

FTS

Arcade_Guy · « **Reply #9 on:** January 10, 2009, 00:35:52 »

nice dude, nice.

i'm going to go grab some xenia & blue xenia for sure. love that stuff. i could watch it pulse for hours.

so what's next on the list?

you should throw up some more pics of the hammers/frogs when they open up!

jake · « **Reply #10 on:** January 10, 2009, 11:18:16 »

dude I think you got my cap. Did you switch the bags around. darn it. You win again. Side note that xenia will cover that rock it is on with a quickness so be aware once it starts its hard to stop.

Man those zoo's turned a really nice color in your tank. We should try to get pictures of mine , yours and adams (his is mixed with greens) ,but they are all the same it would be interesting to see what they look like compared here before to long.

Which is a jumper? I have sealed top anyways.

firefish

lightningfront · « **Reply #15 on:** January 11, 2009, 01:53:38 »

I thought he jumped into my overflow and went down the pipes but he's not in the pipes or in the sump and can't find a dried up fish on the floor so I guess he's hiding now.

Had the skunk cleaner for a day and it already molted, kinda scared me to see that shell laying on the bottow behind a rock.

jake · « **Reply #16 on:** January 11, 2009, 01:56:14 »

do you have cats?

lightningfront · « **Reply #17 on:** January 11, 2009, 05:23:52 »

Ya, but he's a garage/outside cat now that we found out my son is alergic.

cloran · « **Reply #18 on:** January 11, 2009, 08:06:25 »

What kind of lighting are you running? I tried a covered top, found out not a good idea with my tank.

lightningfront · « **Reply #19 on:** January 11, 2009, 13:49:29 »

Dual 96W PC lights

lightningfront · « **Reply #20 on:** January 11, 2009, 20:10:06 »

Living so close to the LFS is not good.

New tank inhabitants.

I'm pretty much done with fish, I'm having them get me a yellow watchman and I am going to be full up on fish I do believe.

6 Line Wrasse

Tail Spot Blenny

The LFS called this a Leopard Goby but It doesn't match what I looked up on the net. Took a pic in the bag cause I figured he'd go hide under or behind a rock and he did.

jeblin · « **Reply #21 on:** January 11, 2009, 20:49:04 »

I'd say orange spotted goby...but who knows....I don't

lightningfront · « **Reply #22 on:** January 11, 2009, 22:23:15 »

Do believe you are correct. Orange spotted shrimp goby is what I'm thinking.

jake · « **Reply #23 on:** January 12, 2009, 04:32:35 »

like that blenny hadn't seen one of those

reeflover · « **Reply #24 on:** January 21, 2009, 12:05:54 »

looks good

lightningfront · « **Reply #25 on:** January 21, 2009, 12:37:52 »

Thanks, I can't wait my new 6x39W T5 lights will be here in 2 days.

lightningfront · « **Reply #26 on:** January 22, 2009, 04:17:15 »

I picked this little guy up the other day, I'm done getting fish now I do believe i'm fully stocked.

jake · « **Reply #27 on:** January 22, 2009, 04:20:05 »

Looks like the bugs have found a home also

lightningfront · « **Reply #28 on:** January 23, 2009, 03:37:36 »

Was bored the other day and shot some little videos, nothing special. I don't know how to edit so there isn't any cool music or anything, just the sound of the fans in the light fixture.

And youtube really downgrades the quality of the video. (scratch that I just found the watch in high quality button

)

Full Tank Video

Tail Spot

6 Line

Royal Gramma

Black Clowns

Hammer

Frogspawn

Blue Xenia

Arcade_Guy · « **Reply #29 on:** January 23, 2009, 03:45:36 »

Very nice man!

The frogspawn is lookin good man. I'm still jealous of your black clowns too

The Full Tank video says not available, bummer. Still processing or somethin?

Also, windows movie maker is an easy way to add title screens or music. pretty easy just drag and drop.

that tail spot has the craziest eyes lol

lightningfront · « **Reply #30 on:** January 23, 2009, 03:58:09 »

Interesting, they all seem to work when I click on them. I'll have to check out movie maker

lightningfront · « **Reply #31 on:** January 24, 2009, 01:19:45 »

Well today was like Christmas all over again. I recieved my new light fixture and new skimmer today.

lazylivin · « **Reply #32 on:** January 24, 2009, 03:43:30 »

WOW that light has some beautiful coloring to it. Very nice.

Arcade_Guy · « **Reply #33 on:** January 24, 2009, 04:12:43 »

super cool man, i bet your corals will color right back up once they get acclimated to those babies. very nice!

lightningfront · « **Reply #34 on:** January 31, 2009, 15:28:22 »

The wife and I decided to upgrade to a DSLR so I have some new shots.

lightningfront · « **Reply #35 on:** January 31, 2009, 15:29:20 »

And these were taken with a Tokina 100m macro lense

Arcade_Guy · « **Reply #36 on:** January 31, 2009, 16:36:12 »

that snail shot is one of the coolest for sure.
macro lens was deffo worth getting!

jake · « **Reply #37 on:** February 01, 2009, 12:00:30 »

I love pictures

lazylivin · « **Reply #38 on:** February 01, 2009, 15:44:50 »

lightningfront · « **Reply #39 on:** February 01, 2009, 15:49:38 »

New camera shoots video too, in HD

720p anyways not too bad. I'll have to try that soon.

Midwest Express · « **Reply #40 on:** February 02, 2009, 16:33:17 »

I love the angry Royal Gramma photo. They look funny when they have their mouths open like that.

So I'm going to be moving the reef to my 125 soon and decided I would need more coral to fill it out

Pink Pocillipora

Green Birdsnest

Green Mushroom

Green Palys that haven't opened yet

Green Torch that hasn't really opened yet either

Pulsating Xenia and Pom Pom Xenia (sorry Adam I'll frag ya some)

And for the life of me I can't remember what the guy said these two were.

Finally the little bitty Red Yuma Ricordia (thanks Jake)

Arcade_Guy · « **Reply #43 on:** February 21, 2009, 00:33:54 »

maaaan, i shoulda went!!!!! I want some torch and pulsating xenia so badly... damn you justin lol

anyways everything looks really nice, i especially like the birdsnest!

lightningfront · « **Reply #44 on:** February 28, 2009, 18:04:16 »

Picked up this 10 headed Duncan today, I've been looking for one and finally found a nice one.

Here's a close up of the Silver Branch Pumping Xenia and regular pumping xenia

The green Palys opened up

The torch, it doesn't seem to open up and extend the polyps very far, they come out more at night.

My digitada came back to life and started to grow once I switched from PCs to the T5s

jake · « **Reply #45 on:** February 28, 2009, 19:07:24 »

Looking good man. Put me in line for some of that white pom pom man for sure.

Those last 2 frags might be a stylophoora

Gotta love the green paly classic yet effective.

you're in line right behind me

i'm going to give him that blue/silver digi frag you gave me man.. it was lookin so good and growin so well, but my lights just arent enough. I'm sure it'll thrive under those T5s. Shame really, i was so proud of it lol

SPS are cool and all, but i'm not so interested in keepin em.

lazylivin · « **Reply #47 on:** March 01, 2009, 00:37:03 »

Your Reef is coming along really nicely. The lights really made a big diffrence. Like the pics to, especially the the green Palys
