Paddy's Ocean - 70 Gallon Mixed Reef **Phoenix Rebuild**

[paddyob]

So here is a bunch of shots from today. I decided to mess around with my Pentax W90 waterproof camera and see how it does in the tank.

You will see the issue I have been having in the past bit when you see the zoas.... cyano of some sort likes covering them all so some colonies are not fully opening right now. Either way... hope you like what I have to show.

If anyone knows names of the "unknowns" below... let me know. Thanks.

Unknown Paly (from AI)



Pink Panther



Unknown Zoa

Yea they are doing fine. I ahve a few more Zoa colonies I failed to photograph. Awkward angles and what not. When the Cyano is gone I will add a couple more zoa shots.

As for the zoa Denny.... you talking about the green one with yellow in the center? If so I can frag it anytime.... I have about 100 polyps on that colony. Had it for a few years and it has done awesome in all conditions.

Yeah, I don't know why cyano seems to like to collect on zoas. All you can do is blow it away with a turkey baster until it's gone.

Twice a day. But on the bright side... it looks like it is getting better.
