NOTE: I'm DIVIDING these posts because I know some people still use that archaic dial-up! I wouldn't want anyone to get stuck loading a whole thread of my pics just to look at a couple!

Hi Folks!

Heeeeeeeere's another update!

Here are some pics of how the corals are doing in the 55.

On a side note, I just started my Kalkwasser Drip today. First time ever I have had a Kalk drip. I hope it generates some Coralline growth for once!!

First off is my big Xenia Oblongata:

This is a smaller Xenia Oblongata that was sold to me by Foster's And Smith as a PomPom!

Some Zoos. On the left is the Green centered, and on the right is the orange centered. They seem to go through phases where their color is good and their color is faded. Maybe I should put them higher up and closer to the light source? Ideas?

My GSP which I set next to the central arch so that it might spread to cover the arch. The Arch is 8 inches tall and 8 inches wide and I think it would look spectacular covered in GSP!

My BSP and their companion Shroom!

The Rics now FULLY opened up... I love 'em!

Hey!! I'm trying to HOST here! Can't you respect my privacy??

Let me know what you all think!

Good stuff!

Thanks for the comments and the support!

My base rock from Hirocks.com just arrived. I ordered the 30# box. In the box (which had a hole in the side from the rocks rolling around in transit) were 4 small pieces and this GIANT SINGLE ROCK! Sheesh! Time to get out the hammer and make some smaller pieces for the future sump! LOL!

Hey! I saw him put those new rocks in here! Time for an inspection!

proud2bcanadian · 03-28-2005, 12:48 PM

Great pics Tom! Your tank looks great!

Woodstock · 03-28-2005, 01:10 PM

Cool shrimp photo!

TomV · 03-30-2005, 07:21 PM

A couple more photos... I know the Tang Police are gonna start on me, but all their jabs and warnings shall float into the wind....

The 55g complete with IGNORED NORI! lol! I'll figure out how to make 'Picky' interested in it. But right now, he has too much macro to nibble on here and there on the live rocks!

And here is 'Picky'--named for what it does in all its waking hours!
