Tank pics at 2 months

[coralfarmer84]

Here are some pics of my 310 after 2 months (3 months with water total) Excuse the crappy camera, these pics don't do justice but hey you guys up north can see where I'm at right now. I got prolly 400+ pounds of live rock and everything is starting to come together really nicely. So here they are....

Now i just have to find time to start working on the stand and canopy so it doesn't look so messy.

 

[coralfarmer84]

umm yea the date is way off these were taken October 10th and 9th 2006.

 

[STACKER]

Turn the date off it looks cheesy. Pix look nice but they aren't Stacker quality.... LOL

 

[coralfarmer84]

yea i'm having issues with the date, my camera is not that nice.... but i just wanted to show off my new corals. Looks better than you expected ehhh

 

[STACKER]

I didn't expect anyting, got more important things to do... Sorry if that dissapoints you... Hell, it's almost 4... I gotta go to the bank and make a deposit so they don't take my house..

Not bad kid.

There must be a college class on how to use a camera?

 

[STACKER]

Paul, I'm glad you didn't mention his nams and "class" in the same context.

Ryan, you need to fire up the table saw and burn up some duct tape. I'd be glad to help but I'm allergic to Floriduh...

Don't forget, measure once...cut twice LOLOLOLOL

 

[coralfarmer84]

lol, I just have been so busy it probably won't come together until christmas break. I'm just glad I got some livestock in there to lookat after the huge fallout of corals dying because of the move.

looks good buddy now all you need to do is come home and put mine together

 

[STACKER]

Blind leading the blind?

 

[coralfarmer84]

thanks mike, now I'm going to just just sit back and watch it grow in for a while

 

[STACKER]

Ryan, Is supposed to snow her tomorrow night and Fri. is that sweet or what? LOL Start bragging..... now!

Just tryin' to make your day bud!

 

[STACKER]

BTW, did your blue clam make it? I have a killer pic of it still, even had some folks remark about it on RM

 

[Jamokie01]

Well I gotta say it looks really good man. Maybe Dale can drive down there and get some nice quality shots for you, hehe. And if I may ask, whered you get that awesome white cap in the first pic, really beautiful white color to it....

 

[coralfarmer84]

lol the white part in the first pic is still alive actually. when i moved the coral the whole top piece broke off the colony and when I replaced it that was the only way i could get it to stay in place was on a slight angle. Its been coloring up since then and the polyps are extended on the white section as well as the orange.

The one pic of the crocea on the sandbed you took is still alive. the other one that was bigger and on the right hand rockwork didn't make the trip. I'm not sure which one you are referring to since you took pics of both...

I did pic up an awesome colored crocea but i can't get any good pics of it.

 

[STACKER]

It was on the LH side of the 240 on the sandbed. I liked the colors and my world famous photography brought them ou tin stunning detail.

A new name "Coralbleacher" LOLOLOL

 

[coralfarmer84]

lol that coral is not bleached lol. its the underside of the cap that was shaded because of growth pattern... jerks lol. I just replaced the top piece so it would stay without falling over.

Yea the clam you liked it still kicking. I've got a total of 5 clams altogether. I need more acropora's and frags so i can watch it grow in. But i'm in no hurry....

 

[coralfarmer84]

I wish i had your camera here for one day.... just to get some better quality shots and closeups, the tank really looks much better in person (which is the usual) I've got some really cool emerald crabs in the tank that are bright red in color but i'm not sure why they are not the traditional green??

 

[mfabrizio75]

ryan i actually know the answer to this question.... hehehe the emerald crab can change its colors depending on its diet in your tank or in the tank it was originally at... well i think anyway im pretty sure rich told me that one day
