Actually, the lack of it did. Without waterflow there's no oxygen soooo...RIP.

You have a few beautiful pieces in your tank Greg. Some of it I would "kidnap” gladly.

Great looking tank Greg! Keep us posted on the progress and health of the elegance I would like to get one myself one day.

Looking great Greg !
Your tank is obviously doing very well, just look at that Dendronephthya, it looks great !

framerguy · 10-01-2007, 11:38 AM

Thanks everybody!!
Heinz, if anyone knows what a beautiful coral looks like, you do. My goodness your tank is gorgeous!!!!!!!!!
Declauderdale, the elegance seems to be very happy where he is now. I've tried several places in the tank, and he didn't seem thrilled with them til now. He's really becoming plump and colorful. He's in a low flow, indirect light area. I'll keep ya posted.
Robert, the Dendro does seem to be happy as well. It may or may not be because of the DT's I started using (I think it is) but he's really perked up and even sprouted two offshoots.

Very nice fish room. I comend you on the plumbing looks as intense as my work. Scribble rabbit one of my favorite reef fish.

Last night I noticed this guy "trolling" in my aquarium. I don't know what it is, it seems to be some kind of worm. It sends out what looks like a spider web about 6-8", spread out in about a 2" fan shape and catches stuff floating in the water. Then it "reels" it in and eats it, then sends it back out again. It's pretty darn cool!!

He sticks up like a periscope behind the leather so I thought the leather was sluffing slimey stuff, then I noticed this worm thingy pulling it back in. I watched for an hour...it was very entertaining!

Dentoid · 10-02-2007, 10:43 PM

Nice pictures Greg!

Love the Rabbitfish and that Pink Spot goby is sweeeeeet! Sorry about the losses!

Great skills with the Elegance. How long have you had it?

framerguy · 10-02-2007, 11:00 PM

Thanks Scott! I've only had the elegance since May 2nd, so nearly 6 months now. And Shrek (pink spot, the name fits somehow) is my favorite fish. he is chock full o'personallity. thanks for the recommendation on the rabbitfish, I won out on that big time (you said he would take care of the grape caulerpa outbreak)! Haven't named him yet, I thought about "Scotty the scribblefish' but didn't know how you'd feel about it. Thanks again big guy!

Dentoid · 10-02-2007, 11:07 PM

You name him that and I'd be honored!

framerguy · 10-02-2007, 11:20 PM

DONE!! Thanks for everything Scott!

Might be a Peanut worm aka Sipunculid Worms

Well, I have to give back the macro lense I borrowed tomorrow so I thought I'd use it one last time. Hope you enjoy the shots...
I didn't downsize them, if they're to big for your monitor (like they are mine) hold the control button and scroll the mouse wheel back to shrink it.

Well, that's it, you'll have to settle for the regula lense for a while...
thanks for looking!

Dentoid · 10-08-2007, 07:47 PM

WOW! Those are some amazing shots and the color is super stupendous! Nice work with the camera my friend!
