[muck]

Looking good there Danny!! Wheres the clams though..?? :p

[Beverly]

Nice looking tank, Danny :cool:

[AJ_77]

nice fish, Danny...;)



maybe see you at Snappy's next month.

[danny zubot]

Thanks everyone.

Nano, I can make frags of the blue zoos if needed, but since the rock is stuck at the bottom it will take a while to do. Pm me if interested.

Muck, I need to get more LR before buying clams, I need to make room in the sandbed.

Alan, your still alive! I'll be at Greg's, hope to see you.

[Ruth]

Danny your tank is looking really good. Look forward to further updates!

[adidas]

wow..looks amazing.

Why did the other bulb almost bleach your corals? I have a 250watt 14k bulb and my corals just can't seem to keep any color... think switching bulbs might help?

[adidas]

i'd love a frag of those zoos if possible, even just like 2 polyps..would you trade/sell me one?

[NanoReef]

i will pm you later but for now, in the first picture, on the FAR right, are those zoos too?? have any frags??? im very interested in the first ones

[Snappy]

Lookin' good Danny. Glad to hear you'll be at the meet at my place. That toadstool is pretty groovy. Is that the mother of the frag I got from you last Jan?

[danny zubot]

Adidas, I thisnk the reason they were starting to bleach is for two reasons. the first being that I upgraded from a 14K 250 watt to a 10K 400 watt system. Because of the spectrum change it equivilated to about a 300 watt jump, bad news. The other thing that I learned from fellow Canreefers is that higher intensity lighting speads up the metatbolic rateof corals. So you must increase your supplimentary dosage, and I couldn't keep up in the end. Since I went back to the 14K spectrum my corals have much more color.

It seems there is a bit of interest in my zoos! I'll try to post closup pics for everyone interested. In the meantime I'll repsond to PM's.

Greg, I'd hardly call it a mother colony but ya, thats the one.

[andestang]

Looks great Danny :mrgreen:

[Snappy]

Greg, I'd hardly call it a mother colony but ya, thats the one.
Hey Danny I only called it the mother of the frag not the mother colony,(razz) however I like the looks of it and considering how slow mine grows that is a big mother........my piece is about the size of a loonie after almost a year.

[danny zubot]

Thats strange, but I can believe it. I have a 2 year old yellow fiji leather fragthat I bought from Ocean's that is still only loonie sized as well. On the other hand, a friend of mine has a frag of that same toadstool that is the same size as mine. Oh well.

[Snappy]

well with a closer look maybe it's the size of a toonie.

[Skimmerking]

Danny looks truely awesome

how's the Bi color angel doing with the corals in the tank. thinking of getting one..

[danny zubot]

The Bi-color is awsome. Between it and the blue tang I have no hair algae and tons of entertainment. It doesn't pick at any corals either.

I got another 30 lbes of LF in the tank now. As soon as I arrange everthing a few more times I'll post pics to see what you guys like better.:biggrin:

[NanoReef]

you fragged any of those zoos from me yet danny!? PM me!
