My 29g finally is becoming a REEF!

TomV · 06-06-2004, 01:54 PM

I just went to Reeflady's house yesterday and purchased a bunch of stuff from her while her husband made an amazing canopy for me. This was like Xmas in June!!

There are all sorts of polyps all over the rock I got from her!

I am so completely happy with this tank as it is now quite a joy to look at! Even the fish seem happier now the tank looks more like their natural environment somewhat!!

So, without further ado, here are the pics!

(NOTE: I will be getting a nice digital camera from my next paycheck and I will take MUCH better shots of the both tanks then... Until that time, please bear with the quality of these webcam shots!

)

TomV · 06-06-2004, 01:55 PM

Gahh... Yeah, I know that full tank shot is bad quality.. I will see what I can do about getting a better shot....

The next photo:

Some Button Polyps..

The new Colt Coral... notice a theme with my tanks??

Also, look who just HAS to get his nose in the middle of everything I do! It's MORTIMER the Pygmy Angel!

TomV · 06-06-2004, 01:57 PM

And here's an orange Ric nearly fully extended. This Ric has a bunch of babies underneath it.. I love Ricordea!!!

TomV · 06-06-2004, 02:12 PM

Sheesh Sarah!! You got me before I finished posting!

LOL!

Well, here's the last pic for now: Orange and Green Polyps! They flouresce VERY nicely under the light combination I have!

And as an update, ALL the mushrooms on the rocks are expanded and looking VERY healthy! I am so COMPLETELY psyched about how this tank is looking now!

When I get a chance, I will get a pic posted of the new Canopy that Reeflady's husband built for me!

Thanks for Viewing!!!

sarah · 06-06-2004, 02:15 PM

Sorry Tom, just been waiting to see the picys.
Looks good anyway.

ReefLady · 06-06-2004, 02:19 PM

Everything looks good. Glad you're happy with it!

ReefLady · 06-06-2004, 02:23 PM

Here's our "just finished" pic of the canopy. Can't wait to see what it looks like on your tank!!!

Maxx · 06-06-2004, 02:35 PM

Very cool Tom! Cant wait to see the pics when you get the new camera either. That way we get to see all the lil details of the tank.

fidojoe · 06-06-2004, 03:30 PM

Dang! Thats a nice canopy! You got some great corals too! Can't wait to see the pics with the new cam too.

TomV · 06-06-2004, 05:11 PM

Well, just got back from my daughter's recital and took some more pics as more stuff expanded and opened.

First off, here's a shroom on one of the rocks. It doesn't look it from the pic, but this shroom is 2 inches across!

TomV · 06-06-2004, 05:12 PM

Next up is one of the larger dusters which is an inch across. There is a shroom to the left that is posing as a psychadelic doughnut!

TomV · 06-06-2004, 05:14 PM

Here are those brilliantly coloured orange and green polyps. These are really taking a liking to the tank in a BIG way!
