[Delphinus]

Acanthurus flashgordeniensis

sheesh was that so hard??

Tank looks bangin'. Bro. Bye. Dope. Etc. etc. I can't really speak all this slang you guys throw around at each other never mind I'll just say it looks really nice there.

[Zoaelite]

Levi, not to inflate you ego or anything but daaammmm thats one sexy tank!

Lol too late, ego's been inflated haha. Thanks for the compliment!

I'm just getting used to workings of this new camera, I'm sure once I learn all the settings they will start coming out a bit better. Of course Devo will be bringing it to Thailand for a month so expect some ballin (Tony these are descriptive words you can use too :lol:) photos.

Hey Levi, have started the fragging process yet?
Bahhh humbug no frags for you Greg, haha Jk fragging will be this month sometime but I will most likely be dropping all my frags off @ Red Coral for everyone to fight over (Just so little time to have everyone over for frags this time of the year).

Acanthurus flashgordeniensis works just fine for me :lol:.

Tony you got the gusto to throw out the slang, your slang just sounds more sophisticated than most of our slang that's all. Thanks for the praise Buddy!

Hey Levi, tank is looking awesume ! For your tang I'll make a guess at it being a Yellowfin (Acanthurus xanthopterus) They come in many different shades of color, but they get quite large 24" I think. Does it have any yellow markings around its eye ?

Reaaaaaaaly......muah ah ah:twised:.....well to save you some time I could pic them up and take them there for ya....they all should make it to the store:wink:

I owned a Yellowfin that outgrew my tank so it certainly isn't one of them, the Yellowfins have a distict yellow line pattern that flash is missing. They are similar looking though.

Haha, I might take you up on that considering Calgary driving as of late :razz:.

Hey, just surfing the Diver's Den tonight and came across this...

Funny that you posted this Tony as I was on live aquaria and thought the same thing, I'm far from a fish expert but I would almost infer that he seems to be a Epaulette/ Orange Socket Hybrid? Either way he's getting big really fast, I have plans to upgrade to a 350g display when Devan moves into my house (Seems we will be having a joint tank together *Cringe*).

Greg you Cherry Picker... go stand by the net more plzkthxbia haha.

What ever it takes to get some permo zoas :twised:

[Zoaelite]

Well it's been a busy last month and the tank was hit with a little bit of school related negligence :neutral:, lost a few pieces but in general not touching the tank has everything growing like crazy.

My tank seems to suffers begining semester negligence, midterm negligence, final negligence and then after final exam drinking period negligence.

I'm not a very good Reef Keeper but thanks for the compliment!

Ill have to be back at that "Brown" bin more often haha.

Thanks buddy! In creeping your build I'm loving the little zoa garden you got going, great to see the frags I sold you are turning into colonies.

[Delphinus]

Great pictures Levi!

I didn't have time to photoshop them so they all look a bit blah, I'll be snapping a few more tonight when I head home but thanks for the compliment Tony!

Looks great! Great shot of the rubriventralis. Flash looks great too.

How long have you had the mandarin?

Thanks Tony, the longfin is a little feisty bugger but hes hilarious to watch. The mandarin has been in there for about 4 months now, shes mated and dances for me every night.

I'm still debating transferring both of our pairs to the 250g, think it's enough room for 4 of them?

Ya what Wayne SAID x1000000

[es355lucille]

WOW, is right. That is amazing......Beautiful Tank!

[jon.smolders]

NICE!! It's hard to get a unique looking tank these days. :) Great job.

[Zoaelite]

Thanks everyone :razz:, new tank will be build within the week and everything is coming together nicely.

New Halides, we decided to have two 3 150W fixtures with T5's & PC's this is the new one I picked up installed on the old tank:

great shots as usual Levi

[skrillnet]

I am a zoa fanatic and let me say this thread is AMAZING!! If you still have the tank, would you be willing to send a few polyps of each kind to the US?

If so PM me some info. These really are quite awesome!

Sorry skrill shipping coral from Canada to the states is a headache I would rather not deal with.
