[Piranha_Owns]

love the trigger, nice rockwork too

 

[Engine8ff]

Thanks. I have wanted a blue throat for a while and now that the big tank is up and running good it was time. I think I am done moving the rock around, it has a nice 3d look.

Brian, yes I am a forum ho, ate up with the stuff. Havent been posting as much here. Time to start the thread and get everyone caught up to speed, just more eyes to make sure everything is going the way it should and show off my little peice of the reef.

Picked up a new Apex in Atlantic City this past weekend and with some help from the guys here on RC I have it up and running on the network. Now its time to hook everything up and get it programmed.

Thanks everyone. I picked up 13 frags/colonies while at Atlantic City, once I get them glued down I will take some pics and get them posted. Some great deals up there. The wife has already reserved the hotel and gotten passes for next year in FL.

Cherry Corals Acans this is just a couple of the acans we got, real nice stuff

Dr Macs clam

Most of the stuff we got was between 30-60% off. If you get a chance to visit one of these go for it. We are already making planes for next year, we are going to piggy back with a vacation to Disney.

Couple new additions going in the tank this week. Adding our yellow tang, been in QT for the last 2 weeks, and we have a real nice Hawaiian Naso Tang on its way from Dr Fosters that will be here today. Will post some pics of Naso tomorrow and the yellow on Sat.

I am looking at a 6" Purple tang, will there be problems between the smaller yellow and the larger purple? If so I am going to pass on the purple. Thanks

 

[Engine8ff]

Here is some pictures of our newist addition, Hawaiian Naso Tang. Picked her up from Dr Foster and Smith. She is a full 7" long and doing great. Enjoy.

Is your naso "eyeing" your acans? Hopefully not looking at the menu... :twitch:
