I really like the Green Zoanthids. They're called Radioactive Dragon Eye Zoanthids. They don't cost a whole lot, but absolutely glow. I have some in my tank, and they grow very fast as well.

The Orange ones are either Eagle Eye's or Whammin Watermelon's depending on how bright the colors are. The ones with the neon green skirt are usually referred to as Whammin Watermelon's, if the color is a bit more dull and they have a brownish green skirt, they are called Eagle Eyes.

I can't wait to see what that Prostrata looks like once it grows out.

All you guys are making me want to borrow against the aquarium budget for the next few months and put in a coral order today!

"Patience, young reefer, you just added a large anemone and two large fish. Plus you are still battling a bubble algae issue. Get the two or three algae eaters next month and then wait for them to clean up the tank. THEN get the coral..." (sigh)

i waited over six months before i tried a monti cap since i wanted everything to be just right, then waited another month while i waited to see if it grew in my system. your right, patience is the key.

WOO HOO More pics....I really like pretty pictures....lol.
Keep em coming.

kudora · 05/08/2009, 01:05 PM

been a couple of days since an update or pics, so i will kinda update and will post some pics tonight.

last sat i picked up a orange/purpleish chalice and a purple poci, they both aclimated well and they look great.

as i have mentioned before i have a 30 gallon fowlr(atm) so i have bought the glass for a sump(29 gal.) all the plumbing, return pump, picked up a tek retro fit T5 24w x4 and a ASM G1 skimmer. i have a juvie saddleback butterfly fish in the 30 gallon atm so i dont have any corals in there yet. i still need to build a better stand(this weekend maybe). but besides that i am ready to go.

i would like to have the 30 gallon sps ready in 3 or 4 months so i can transfer my corals in the DT into the 30 gallon so i can tear it down, drill the tank and make a new stand.

with this in mind i dont see very many new additions into the DT anytime soon so i might update the thread with the 30 gallon progress with corals shots of the DT.

this is what i would like to do but i know better to plan ahead too far in this hobby.

comments or suggestions welcome on my late summer/early fall plans btw lol

moumda · 05/08/2009, 02:56 PM

Pics Luis pics! (oldguy from op forum)

ackerman · 05/10/2009, 02:27 PM

I cant see the new pics

Demonic · 05/10/2009, 02:46 PM

Yes Luis. Pics Pics Pics.

moumda · 05/10/2009, 06:00 PM

How's your tank doing Demonic? (sorry for hijack)

ackerman · 05/10/2009, 06:29 PM

Heres the link to his thread Dave http://reefcentral.com/forums/showth...=&pagenumber=2 he dont update his ever though either lol

Demonic · 05/10/2009, 11:20 PM

I do update. LOL. I will post some pics today when I wake up. Luis got new corals and isnt sharing pics....

kudora · 05/27/2009, 08:23 PM

hmm have not updated in awhile, well today i got a invert order in from reefs2go:
50 cernith
50 nas
5 ast
6 pep shrimp
and a couple of free hermits

i didnt think any of the ceriths were going to make it, even while acclimating them they didnt look so hot but after i put them in the DT half of them started moving around so it was not a total loss.
i had thought about ordering another fighting conch with this order since i like the one i have in the DT right now but after seeing the three 3" to 4" beasts demonic got with his order i am glad i didnt.

i had originally ordered half the inverts for the 30 gallon but didnt want to stress the inverts since i am breaking the 30 gallon down.....so i can upgrade to a 40 breeder!!!! i will take pics and start its own thread soon since i have been ordering goodies for it. i have the stand and sump done tho

looks like i will be breaking down the 84 gallon as well but not for long, i am going to build a new stand, sump and looking for a skimmer. i am looking at getting a msx 200 but i am still looking for deals. Both tanks will be drilled with the bean animal overflow method. i have ordered all the plumbing(expensive) for both tanks. i will set up the 40 breeder first then the 84 gallon later this summer.

no pics but a decent update lol
input is welcome tho lol

kudora · 05/27/2009, 08:25 PM

rofl i was looking at the threads today and noticed champion lighting had thier BOX O' CRAP for sale and couldnt resist so i ordered a box plus salifert nitrate test kit plus salifert flat worm exit(rather have it on hand just in case).

ackerman · 05/27/2009, 09:23 PM

Bout time u updated. Now we just need some pics

kudora · 05/27/2009, 09:49 PM

ackerman · 05/27/2009, 10:06 PM

kudora · 05/27/2009, 11:58 PM

Haha... I had it in the cart twice but couldn't commit. I also added a bunch of other little supplies I needed to my order, but then thought to myself... wait a minute... what if that stuff comes in the Box o' Crap?

I know a few guys who ordered it as well. I can't wait to see what everyone gets.

kudora · 05/28/2009, 12:12 AM

i have been wondering all night what i will get, its like xmas lol
