Good call Jason

Thanks for the input!

sly you have PM

kathywithbirds · 02-26-2008, 09:47 AM

Looks great Julie!!! Is there a little fish in mind or no?

BigAl07 · 02-26-2008, 09:51 AM

She is thinking of a small fish but she's in no rush to add that much Bio-load to a 6g tank. Right now she's "all about the corals" which I am liking

She's looking for a really cool looking leather or colt coral or something "meaty" like that to go on the rock that's diagonal on the right. Something to add mass there to "balance" the look of the tank. We're just waiting for the "Right" coral to come along that doesn't require a LOT of light or heavy feeding. We want this tank to be as easy as possible

i need to get some new pics of it.

Thanks for looking

kathywithbirds · 02-26-2008, 09:52 AM

nepthea or kenya tree?

BigAl07 · 02-26-2008, 09:52 AM

huh? I'll have to look up each one

BarbMazz · 02-26-2008, 10:43 AM

Tank is looking great, Julie (Allen)! I just love frogspawn. Too bad my current tank plan won't accommodate it. I really do need another tank... LPS are calling my name.

I'd love to have Julie posting here, Allen!

JULIE! JULIE!! JULIE!!! Let's have JULIE!!!!

kathywithbirds · 02-26-2008, 11:57 AM

OK here's the kenya tree and nepthea...

the nepthea is in the first one, kenya in the second one. Both like to be in the FLOW!!

BigAl07 · 02-26-2008, 12:04 PM

Thank you so much!

Julie isn't much of a "Poster" but I'll "put a bug in her ear" to see if she'll give it a shot!!

kathy thank you SO much! that's exactly what I was hoping it would look like! Yall ROCK!!

kathywithbirds · 02-26-2008, 12:13 PM

I'm thinking there should be more "beads" on the nepthea but I've seen the 6-line EYEING it up and getting a quick NIP in there once in a while...

AQTCJAK · 02-26-2008, 12:56 PM

Let her know Al, Niehter am I

caitrina · 03-06-2008, 05:42 PM

This is cool looking, any updates on this tank?

BigAl07 · 03-06-2008, 05:43 PM

I'm uploading pics to Photobucket now from last night

BigAl07 · 03-06-2008, 05:57 PM

Ok here are some updated pics from last night.

You'll see a new plate coral (Way cool I'm jealous) and then a "Tree" type of coral that I honestly don't know the name of... anyone know?

So what IS this called?

and an updated FTS

kathywithbirds · 03-06-2008, 07:14 PM

oooo Looks nice Julie!!! Don't know what that tree thing is either but the color is awesome!

tbittner · 03-06-2008, 07:20 PM

Wow! That plate coral has some very beautiful colors!!! Love the tank too. Great aquascaping.

I can't get over the photography skills coming out of your house. Outstanding!!!
