Arlin's 120

awesome pics,as always arlin:beer:
The "never give up" approach is the best way to see things and like matt said,it won't take long for your reef to thrive again.
 
Just went through this thread.. SO been there!! Had aefws years ago.. My current tank failed for two years and then it started to leak..
Arlin! Your current scape looks good, latest pics are very promising!
Never give up! My sentiments exactly!!
I'm sure in no time your photo and Acro skills will be on display once again.
 
Hey buddy sorry about all the troubles. Glad you didn't give up. Tanks looks nice: it will look great in a few months.
 
Nov . Update

Fts

Garf

Vivid rainbow (about a week in)

Wild Ssc ( came in really pale now it's starting to look decent )


Still dealing with relatively new tank syndrome brown turf like algae on the rocks .
That's it for now . I'll try to keep the camera on hand more often.
 
Nice colours in those shots.
I keep seeing that vivid rainbow.. I wish I could get that up in Canada..
That scape looks really natural. Like it's right out of a current swept lagoon.
Nice!
 
Looks really nice, will look awesome when it all fills in. Great colors on the new tips on the garf, I would love to find a piece of that. Does yours have linneage to the true hard bonsai? If so where did you get it?
Is the vivid rainbow from vivid aquariums in California?
Always love a nice piece of SSC. Actually need to get one for my tank, but not found the right one that didn't seem too expensive local.
 
Hey buddy, good to see the progress after the tougher days. :beer: Keep going man, this time next year the tank should look stunning.

the Garf i got from a fellow collector who got it from adam @ (BC)
i actually have two versions of the vivid one from Aqua sd & one from vivid in cali. im not sure which version this one is, i saw it and had to have it :lolspin: as for the ssc i got it for 20$ but it was really pale, its now after a few weeks that i'm seeing some nice tones to it .

Great job arlin:beer:
Colors are already nice and i just imagined how these corals will grow and it will be awesome to see those two islands full of mature corals:thumbsup:
Every SSC pic grows my hate for you SSC owners:p
 
Things will be back on track before you know it Arlin, SPS keeping isn't the hobby for those with pea hearts mate - following even though you posted zoa pics.........:beer:

It will be a while before I see colony's but it's ok, makes it that much more fun to struggle with random issues ...the joy of this hobby :)
The ssc is one of my favorite acros for sure . It's still not at its full glory but it will get there eventually :D

Those are some very nice selections! I have an orange torch in the Flubber tank, it's a cool color to see on an LPS coral!
