some poorly taken tank pics :)

[bkmorris]

took some snapshots of my tank tonight... but with the unfortunate combination of a mediocre camera and an embarrassing lack of skill, these pics are of horrible quality...

nevertheless, i wanted to share some pics of my little 30 gal reef that operates on a college budget.

first off we have a couple of my favorites... blastos and orange zoas...

more zoas...

zoas with a mini carpet anemone that decided to barge in...

tubs blues and an acan echinata frag...

acan close-up...

candycane and some kind of brain.. lobo i think?

orange cap, blue ric, and blasto merletti...

little pagoda...

frogspawn: i've fragged this thin so many times... just keeps growin new heads! (yikes, embarrassing cyano. been battling several types of algae lately)

gorgonian...

and finally, the kids strikin some poses...

and LAST ONE, i promise!! a FTS...

How in tarnation do you fit all that into a 30g?

 

[bkmorris]

lol... i was good at tetris.

 

[Unarce]

Nice! Everything looks very, very happy.

I love the overall color in the FTS. The pure white is sweet. Very natural looking.

 

[kevin95695]

Yep. Crisp.

Nice reefscaping too. The FTS is worth a double, nay, triple-take.

Very nice job Brooke, the tank looks beautiful. You don't have to be a neurologist to keep a reef, but it doesn't hurt

 

[bkmorris]

thanks guys

lol, yep justin whenever i try to "fix" anything that's when all hell breaks loose. i've been too busy to tinker with it lately.. but besides some algae issues i think it was actually good for the tank.

paul- i tried to get a pic of the orange ball corallimorph when it opened after lights out, but i just couldn't get a clear shot. i'll keep tryin, it's awesome looking. (still waiting for it to split, by the way)

Ahh, don't feel so bad about the pictures......Justins were MUCH worse in the past. Those zoas are going to look sweet when they grow all together.

I love the pictures, black clowns are awesome! Thanks for sharing.

Woo hoo - Pics!

Looking great Brooke! BTW - is that a sailfin blenny peeking its head out of the hole in the live rock?

 

[WarrenG]

Nice job on the tank, especially the landscaping.

mike-- yep, that's one of our little florida guys! they crack me up. i think i might only have one now though... the other blenny (i think it was called a saddleback blenny) was beating up on the other one, and now i haven't seen the little guy in about a week
