more fish added and a new blue goni!
clown tang
purple tang. the purple tang was damaged in transit to the store on the fin on the left side of it's body. it has been in fish collection for over two months now and is fat and healthy. i ended up getting this particular purple tang because it had the greatest personality. only waited so long to make sure the fin would grow back.
i also got a blue goni. it was open at fish collection, but has yet to open in my tank. you get a picture of how intense the blue is though with this shot.
more pictures coming soon!

top down shots change the look of corals COMPLETELY
rainbow acans
purple death fakes, but very pretty (and fast growing)
welso, kinda dark shot
brown cinnamon palys
elegance coral (1 month and counting)
awesome zoanthids from fish collection (no parasite came off in the dip) all the shots i got were blurry, this is the least blurry.
crocea clam, blurry, but the picture has great color that is lost through acrylic
pulsing xenia with my ORA duncans as a backdrop
last but not least is a blurry video which shows top down colors throughout the right half of the tank

haven't updated here for a while
2 weeks of skimming. collection cup is 6" diameter and 12" tall. but my nog is opaque, there's no seeing through that nasty crap
yellow sailfin blenny update. he's eating pellets now
:thumbsup:
i really don't have much to update on.
MOAR
starting with an FTS
echino from pheallox. it colored up FAST.
these zoas grew out nice. the brown looking palys in the lower left are actually a green color with GOLD speckles. definately bringing some of those to MNS 7.
part of my zoa garden in the making (must wait for them to grow out) please excuse the clownfish blur
pink zoas
i was mostly messing around with camera settings.
come july 20... i will finally get to use the light fixture i paid for. damn PFO and all their delays.

i chose solaris because i got quite a deal on the fixture.
most sps are doing great except my montis because i had high phosphates.
collected scooter blenny eggs last night. looked at them under a loupe 3 hours after fertilization and saw one cell. this morning there are four cells in the eggs. it will now be exponential growth. i will experiment with coral frenzy in this first batch of eggs because it is smaller than rotifers and more rich in nutrients. i wont have results until saturday or sunday though, because even though eggs hatch tonight, they dont grow eyes or a mouth until saturday.
pictures coming

mostly because i got tired of the whole big pile of rocks put in by a blind guy look. :lolspin:
i wanted to go for a more refined look really, and taking a lot of rock out was needed.
