johnsmith Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 These are some of my favourite characters in my BC 29. Doing what I pay him for: May become my favourite coral: My current favourite, I can't wait to have a xenia forest: The most colourful thing in my tank, even his shell looks awesome: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrie Lee Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Dazzling is more like it. The hermit crab is really cute! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishytime Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Very nice. Great pics too. Hows about a full tank shot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsmith Posted April 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 (edited) Very nice. Great pics too. Hows about a full tank shot? Thanks guys. The full tank shot isn't so dazzling though. It's like a movie trailer - you've already seen all the best parts. I find full tank shots I've taken end up looking like a dull pile of boring rocks. I'll give it another try once I've scraped off some algae. Edited April 18, 2007 by johnsmith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slough Shark Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Looks wicked! I wouldn't mind seeing a full tank shot either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnsmith Posted April 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 No FTS yet, but here are a couple more from the tank: This was the side of a piece of live rock I bought from someone: It grew into this after several weeks: Bonus :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murminator Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 I would watch what you wish for. I have xenia that has completely taken over a tank and nothing into cept a few hundred brown zoos and about 75 or so soon to be xenia frags :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have xenia that has completely taken over a tank and nothing into cept a few hundred brown zoos and about 75 or so soon to be xenia frags :shock: Shhh - you'll drive the price down -roll- Another example of how resilient corals are: I bought this green star polyp and it looked good for a couple of weeks then it went down hill and looked like this for weeks: I moved it around and my hermit crab ate some of those white things and now it looks like this (still not very green and not a great picture, but it's getting greener): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrie Lee Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 That's fantastic. You saltwater people are getting to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsmith Posted May 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 (edited) That's fantastic. You saltwater people are getting to me. I'm glad they got to me. My latest acquisition (not the snail : The fts: The xenia's a little too prominent right now, I'll have to move it somewhere. The next time I set this up I'm going to give sand a try. The barebottom look is just too ugly. Quite a bit of coraline algae is growing on the bottom but that won't cut it. I'm also getting some growth on the back wall but it's mostly little white snails.

Slough Shark Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 I don't know what you were talking about with that fts, its looks amazing. I can't wait for my Nano to get setup! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
