Hey, we're pretty social in NYC! LOL!... Looking good Woodhill!

hihi who the hell knows what i'm talkin about

:smokin:

however i guess in NYC we spent most of time doin online purchase

:headwalls:

i got a sunburst anthias, who took the rock where the royal gramma used to live under. then the royal gramma disappeared for 2 days. ahhhhh, really no pain no gain. fortunately the expensive anthias seems to start eatin cyclopeeze

and the long disappeared yosha and randall finally settled down

 

[M Woodhill]

because of the sunburst that eats only cyclopeeze, ive put some phosguard into the socket and the water becomes kinda foggy

got a new ritteri and a duncan and a sea fan, all doin kinda fine

The tank is looking really good.

The Sunburst are a beautiful fish. I had been eyeing the one in Marinescape's DT for quite some time and had planned on picking one the next time they brought some in, but when I saw the pricetag, I changed my mind (did I mention that I'm cheap?).

did i mention i was cheap too? hesistated long time before the tag and made a call to my boss of whom it was really kind to pay the bill

 

[Rybren]

You are, indeed, a lucky man.

got some resplendent anthias--my fav fish and last addition

cyano really breaks out on glass. so probably get some more rocks to the sump and some mangroves

tryin to add some exotic sps's and then no more addition

the dominant male

the sub male

one of three females

actually i personally like females better--low profile but delicate colorin

the porite coral and christmas worms---kinda astonishing the porite is purple

 

[kobelka]

thanks for compliments

yup, i got all the corals from lfs' since most of those online vendors like dd and blue zoo **** off canada by refusin to offer cross border shipment

there r actually good stuff, too, locally in ottawa

and since i'm really new in town, those shops actually became where i do most of my social:celeb2:

 

[ktr55]

Any LFS in particular, i been to pretty much all of them, want your feedback since your new in town.

yup, i'll be fraggin but probably in a year

the tank is fairly new, startin months ago so it takes a while to grow

some latest pic

after a trip out of town, cyano broke out on back and one side of glass

i guess tricolor is very sensitive to light. those parts browns because of the shadow of itself

[M Woodhill]

well,

my tank somewhat survived a big crush SO FAR after some dummies poured pitchers of beer accidentally into it

yet i got a sunset milli, purple rim monti and a cabbage or lettuce monti

now the tank, cyano seemin to retreat

the sunset milli. poor photo skills make it look much worse than in person

purple rim green monti, actually very purple at the edge

pink milli

the p-what birdnest? whatever, just the birdnest featurin green coraline and pink polyps

very cool but i put it kinda in a place very hard to catch in lens

the left side of clam retreats after the alcohol dosin

bonsai

closer look, its one of my fav

figured out a kinda big colony of rainbow stylo but have yet to get a place for it. the tanks fairly full

 

[M Woodhill]

BIG SETBACK!

all of a sudden sps's in particular those small colonies growin from small frags suffers RTN

figured out no reasons for that. everythin is stable so far!!
