Is that a pic of a baby Vlamingii? How long till that sucker grows huge?

NHLblues44 · 02-16-2005, 12:46 PM

Yes it is. I got him about 6 months ago and he's gone from 2 inches to about 5 inches. And man is he a pig! He will prob. outgrow the reef in a few more months. Thats when I get to put up my 300 gallon tank for him this summer when construction picks up

. Very beautiful fish but very fast growers.

you have a before and after of your vlamingii?

apart from size did he change color or pattern?

mkpaulson · 02-16-2005, 01:56 PM

That's one beautiful tank! thanks for sharing, great pics.

NHLblues44 · 02-16-2005, 06:28 PM

Thanks Mark.

Alan,
He has gotten alot of bright blue dots on him and his lips have turned bright blue too, I would assume he is in the middle of his morph now but it will probly take a while to complete. Don't think I have any old pics of him tho.

Here's a few from today for the ricordia lovers

And one for the zoanthid freaks

Gina · 02-17-2005, 04:27 PM

I love Rics!!! Can't wait to get my first one! Went to the LFS about 3 weeks ago and all they had was a dull brown looking one. I'm looking for a orange and or blue to add some color to the tank.

NHLblues44 · 02-17-2005, 07:46 PM

Gina,I have some real nice blue and orange carribean ricordia growing out, and all those morphs I posted of florida I am growing out as well

Whenever you are ready let me know and I will hook you up.

Got my new aqua medic ocean light running today. I went for the (2) 250 watt AqualineBushke Bulbs in 20k and (2) 54 watt T5 actinics. I love the crisp white color and man they are the sweetest lights I have ever seen. They have a fan cooled external ballast thats cool to the touch and are built like a brick ****house

German technology at it's finest. I would highly suggest this light to anyone setting up a reef. Its the first time I havn't had wires and open bulbs dangling over my tank too

Now if I could just get another one for the zoa tank I'd be set.

Tanks look Great!!!! Jealous as well, both of your tanks and the camera that you own. I need to stop using disposable and go digital one day...like I said, one day. What kind of camera are you using by the way, maybe one day, I'll be just as lucky to have toys like that

Craig Manoukian · 02-18-2005, 02:16 AM

Show off!

J/K! Very nice tank and photos!

Should be soon! Waiting for the tax check! Bills have been pretty high the last couple of months and I couldn't justify spending money on corals and such instead of paying utilities! Even though, I would loved to have spent it on corals! I'll let you know!! Thanks!

NHLblues44 · 02-18-2005, 10:31 PM

Thanks coffee!

Craig......

Gina, I will give you a good deal when you are ready!

Here's a killer pink yuma I picked up today. It is soooo bright it was glowing in the plastic bag on the way home!

Gina · 02-18-2005, 11:16 PM

Now that's pretty!

NHLblues44 · 02-19-2005, 04:58 PM

Here is a better pic from today. This is with the falsh on!

And one of my new blonde naso grazing in the zoa tank.
