Renton's Upgrade

Nice Sunburst Nathan. Where can one get one of those beautiful SBTA's?

There is a nice lady on the c-sea forums with the screen name "auntbeth". My understanding is that she currently has 3 or 4 more anemones available in her 93 gallon cube tank.

Nice Nathan..............I really like the movement that garden of LPS add to the tank and that Achilles looks awesome! How much has he grown?

Ed, he has grown a lot. He was a juvenile when I got it back in February of 2013. Below is a shot of when I first got him and a screen shot from the recent video. As you can clearly see, the orange spot at the base of the tail has gotten huge and the tail has filled in.

The Achilles is king of the tank, though pretty docile with most fish. It only tussles with the grumpy male spot anthias who is kind of a jerk to most of the fish.

ugh, I couldn't stand the quality of the video screen cap, made my skin crawl. Had to take a few quick shots of Achilles:

I was going through some old photos and realized how much some of the corals have grown:

I could no longer resist the allure of a MACNA, just booked my ticket and rooms for the 2015 gathering.

Quick video of the orange spot filefish picking at leftover nori. For those keeping score at home, I have had the male since 10/13/2012 and the female since 5/30/2013.
