FTS and some coral/fish pics

bigevill1 · 12/05/2007, 09:45 AM

I posted my full tank shot in the CMAS FTS thread, but I thought I would share a few other pics I took last night as well. I am not the best with the camera but I try. This is my 135 gallon reef under 14K Reefoptics MHs.

I have several corals in my tank that are currently reclimation projects from LFS where the corals were dying and I took them home at reduced rates to see if they could come back too like a Sunset monti, a superman, and a few different open brains. I will get pics of them if they ever make a full recovery.

derrikd · 12/05/2007, 09:57 AM

ok, dumb question what is FTS

bigevill1 · 12/05/2007, 09:58 AM

Full Tank Shot.

esdayal · 12/05/2007, 09:58 AM

Impressive ... let me know if you can frag me those Zoos..

bigevill1 · 12/05/2007, 10:01 AM

yeah, I could frag the zoos, I have several times in the last few months. I just chisel off a piece and glue it to a slightly larger rock. However, it is about an hour drive to my place from Niles.....

AquaGrizzly · 12/05/2007, 12:12 PM

What LFS is this? I would like to see those montis.

bigevill1 · 12/05/2007, 12:24 PM

come on now grizz, if I told people that a LFS was giving me corals that werent doing too good at a reduced rate then everybody would be running to those stores looking for similar deals. That would not be fair to them. lets just say that I have corals from more then one store which I got in this way. Some day you will need to stop by and see the tank for yourself, you are only 5 minutes away from me afterall.

AquaGrizzly · 12/05/2007, 01:10 PM

Maybe some time after this snow storm.

You have a nice looking tank going. How long has it been up?

bigevill1 · 12/05/2007, 01:27 PM

15 months, though all of the LR, most of the fish, and a few of the corals came from my 150 at my old house. They then all lived in a kiddie pool in my parents basement for 6 weeks before being moved into thier new home.

bigevill1 · 12/05/2007, 08:32 PM

Grizz the superman may be dead by the time you see it. It is mostly dead now and doesnt seem like it is going to come back at all. You would not recognize it as a superman at all.

bigevill1 · 12/11/2007, 06:05 PM

here are some more. The two monti cap pics are from the top of the tank looking down:

AquaGrizzly · 12/11/2007, 07:32 PM

Wow. Wouldn't mind getting a frag of the montis. Not the orange but the others. Too bad about the superman. Maybe this weekend I can come by and see the tank. I am off Fri. Sat. Sun.

bigevill1 · 12/11/2007, 07:35 PM

the only one fragable other then the orange is the green right now. The sunset still isnt in any shape to frag, it is not even recognizable as a sunset at first. I could frag my digis I guess. Maybe saturday when I get off from work around 4 PM?

Pufferpunk · 12/11/2007, 08:08 PM

Nice! I wouldn't mind a frag of those zoas with the pinkish centers. Can you get a tighter shot of those?

AquaGrizzly · 12/11/2007, 08:13 PM

Sounds good. I have an orange cap, purple digi, and green digi. If you have any other colors I'll take them just let me know how much and P.M. me your address and phone number.

bigevill1 · 12/11/2007, 08:22 PM

AquaGrizzly · 12/11/2007, 08:25 PM

Wouldn't mind some zoas either.

bigevill1 · 12/11/2007, 08:29 PM

gotta do some chiseling to frag the zoos. I will see if I can get around to it sometime before saturday.

AquaGrizzly · 12/11/2007, 08:35 PM

I have a 5 polyp frag of PD's that started out as 2. Once I get it to start growing on the rock next to it I'll let you know...if you even want a frag of it.
