Nice photos mate we seem to have the same taste I'm upgrading to a 300g and angels I already have multicolour, African flame back, female bellus and emperor. I have a venustus at the lfs I help out at until the new tank is ready.

roktsintst · 07/05/2010, 10:17 PM

Awesome!!! Where in Australia are you?

I've also got a Venustus coming out of QT in a few weeks. Just make sure that you treat the venustus for parasites and internal bacteria!!!

bullitr · 07/05/2010, 10:20 PM

Any recent FTS
Ryan?

roktsintst · 07/05/2010, 10:31 PM

No, I need to work on that!

camoausreefer · 07/06/2010, 01:43 AM

I live on the gold coast mate the venustus is eating and no sign of disease. How many fish do you have altoghether?

roktsintst · 07/06/2010, 08:30 AM

Oh sweet! Im not sure how many fish i have to be honest!!! It would take a while to count!

DanW · 07/06/2010, 09:30 AM

Great shots Ryan. What is the chalice in the 1st group picture that is dead center partially blue, purple and red?

roktsintst · 07/06/2010, 10:45 AM

Tank and all the behind the scenes work looks great. Sorry for some of the losses you have had. On a side note hope the wife and "lil reefer to be" are doing good also.

Thanks!

Everything is staying pretty steady. I've been really busy with the home life and I am going back to school as well so it is taking a lot of my fish tank time! Im looking forward to about a week from now when I'll have a few very nice additions to the tank!!!

Any the wife and baby are doing better. Were just hoping the baby will keep cooking for another 4 weeks though!!!

cwoods8 · 08/18/2010, 08:50 AM

i see lots of coral..........but no signs of a Conspic...don't make me front you out!

roktsintst · 08/18/2010, 01:39 PM

Haha, I just got a new hd camcorder yesterday so I'm gonna try to get a few videos going of some other additions too!

tfp · 08/18/2010, 06:22 PM

ryan, your collection of everything is popping man! looks great.

roktsintst · 08/18/2010, 07:18 PM

Thanks my man! But you have always been my main inspiration!

So how is your rebuild coming along? When your ready for some of your coral back just hit me up and it will be in the mail!

tfp · 08/18/2010, 07:54 PM

ugh...the rebuild is slowly coming along. just not into it for some reason. maybe this fall/winter i'll get more into it.

roktsintst · 08/18/2010, 09:08 PM

Haha! Take your time! Once your back in, you'll be in it for a while!

Iwishihadgills · 08/18/2010, 11:05 PM

TOTM status !

roktsintst · 08/19/2010, 08:20 AM

Thanks bud! I'm gonna try to get a new video up today or tomorrow...I got a new black background for the tank so there is really good contrast!

roktsintst · 08/22/2010, 09:28 AM

Here is a video I shot of the tank w/ my new camera. I tried to get a better resolution but it wouldn't load??? Kinda frustrating, but i'll try to figure out a way to get it to play with more clarity...

I have no idea? If its something that you just loaded, it may take a while.

What new additions are in there besides the conspic?
