5 year old Greenhouse Update

[inktomi]

I stand corrected. Throw some banggai in one of your tanks, see what happens =)

I agree with the fall colors, all the corals in my greenhouse are looking so nice right now, I always forget how good my zoanthids and mushrooms look after the summer is over!

 

[kmacartney]

Did you use a photobox for those pics? They are quite nice!

 

[dendronepthya]

@kmacartney - No, those photos were taken through the glass. I use a tripod so the images come out nice and clear.

 

[Electrobes]

Awesome Than! I love the colors of those corals.

 

[Micki]

Finally found this!

For anyone that live close to Than it is really worth a drive out to his place to see it..really nice and toooooo much to look at. The coral in my avatar is from him..

 

[Rickyrooz1]

Looking good!

 

[dendronepthya]

Thanks everyone for the kind comments. Ohiomom, you are welcome any time! I'm glad to see the Favia doing so well.

I took two more random photos today. The first is the sunset outside of the greenhouse.

The second is a picture of one of our Orange Bubble-tip Anemones splitting. We have the cool red ones as well, but these orange ones under actinic have yellow tips. For the past year, the single one we had didn't split but in the past week, it looks like it's going to split a few times.

Wow great thread!

Do you have a pic of the orange bta? When its open?

 

[erics3000]

Really cool stuff...

Than, your GH project is very nice and thanks for taking the time to share it. I have a question about the cinder block stands. Are the cinder block stands just stacked or they cemented together?

 

[dendronepthya]

@plateboy3293 - I don't have that many great pics of this anemone because he's stuck on a spray bar right at the top of the aquarium, but my mom was able to get these two pics of him. It's blurry due to motion, but you can see the colors pretty well:

@eland - The cement blocks are just stacked. I suppose we could have poured inside them, but I don't think it would add a whole lot. They are pretty much overkill as is.

 

[fishbait2]

Wow, im jealous. I want one.

 

[Jamesurq]

mad props... I remember reading the build thread back in the day - and it came up on my subscribed list and pointed me here.

Very nice progress... congrats.

.

At least one local guy has complained that his cinderblocks crumbled in his greenhouse. He was using the hollow ones oriented sideways, unlike your solid brick like ones.

2post but the setups open

awsome thread

 

[aninjaatemyshoe]

I live in the area and have always wanted to come make a visit. Is there anyway to set that up? Also, I noticed from your name (Dendronepthya) and avatar that you likely have an interest in non-photo corals. Are you guys trying to keep them at your greenhouse too?
