Gorgeous PBT. Probably one of my favorite reef safe fish of all time.

Wow the orange on the tip of the fin is sweet..........NICE

Thanks everyone. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw him. I just had to have it even with the disaster the last time a PBT was added to the tank. It's been on my most wanted list ever since I started reefing way back when.

I have been following your thread on the socalireefs board. Took alot of your good ideas when I did my tank upgrade! nice photo, I know its impossible to get a good photo of mind. What kind of camera settings did you use.

Thanks for the compliment and I am flattered. Sorry it took so long to respond to your camera question. I have 3 different cameras depending on what I am shooting. Hopefully, once I get my macro lense, I can just use the dSLR for everything. I pretty much leave it all in auto mode but always pick the macro option. Then I use Photoshop to remove all the excess blues and red/pinks and try to match what it looks like in person as much as possible.

New additions I picked up from RAP this past weekend.

Jaw dropping Vivid Echino. I can't even begin to describe what this thing looks like. The pic isn't nearly as stunning as what it looks like in person.

Emerald Mummy Eye

Can't wait until this one grow out and color up. It may not look like much now but this is the ever so elusive Monster Mash Echino

LE Mia's Pot of Gold

LE Icefire Echinata. My SPS picture taking skills suck

Candy Apple Reds from my bud

 

[Chrisrush]

Wow. Those are some fantastic corals.

It was nice meeting up with you today Kenny and your tank and set up are even more awesome in person than it is in pictures. Thank you for your kind hospitality!

 

[pookstreet]

Thanks Chris. I think I've overspent my next two years reefing budget in one day :lol:

M, it was a pleasure to finally meet you after all this time. Hope you had a great trip and enjoy the corals. Keep the Key Lime by itself without mounting it for at least another week. Just make sure it doesn't get buried or lost. Then glue it down with as little superglue gel as possible. LMK if you have any questions.

Looks great Kenny! That PBT is outta control! :eek1:

RAP treated you well huh? Geez man, that Vivid is sick.

Ditto to what Spleen said! Thank you again for letting us view your awesome tank! Can't wait to get some frags from you when my new system is up and running ... some day!

Nice scores from RAP Kenny!!! AWESOME!!!

Austin - The PBT is awesome. It's still eating well and healthy after over 3 weeks. So I am hopeful it will turn into a long term resident of the tank. Although in the last couple of days, I have notice tiny bits of ich on it when the lights are out. But they go away within an hour after the lights come on. Strange.

Sara - I am honored to show my humble tank to you nice folks. It's nice to be able to talk to you guys in person. Now hurry up and plumb that tank and get it running

Kev - Thanks man. Couple of times a year, I go crazy acquiring corals. The other time is when SW-CFM rolls around in Feb/March. Now it's time to save up again.

Here is a shot of my little orange with blue base yuma. He seems so lonely there all by his lonesome self

Also a nice little gold teardrop maxima I got from a trade at RAP

 

[spleen93]

Awww ... that yuma looks so cute!

 

[pookstreet]

Yeah, It think it's trying to show off the chalices

 

[erics3000]

What type of sand is that. I am thinking about being brave and slowly replacing my sand with the biggest grain I can possibly get. Looking great....
