Mick an Jess's Visio 40b

[grassi]

I see my frags are doing great in your tank!

You have a lot of cool stuff in there.

All the effort is paying back already.

Alex

[jgf86123]

The stuff we picked up from you is doin great Alex, the cloves are lookin good, already have 2 with what looks to be a third on the way, an the TRPE's are putting out streamers already.

[jgf86123]

Well, it has been a while since I've thrown up some pics, so I figured you guys might like to see what's new.

 

First up is Bonnie an Clyde, our new B&W Ocellaris Clowns, courtesy of Dave's Clownhouse, aka Barelycuda. Thanks man, these guys rock an they're already eating.

 

Next up is our acan/favia garden, complete with our new Rainbow Acan, this thing is insane, and it's colors just POP!!!!! Thanks to Bay Corals, Ryan aka R-3, Dave aka nwcoralfarm and Beth n Kim.

 

Next up is various pictures of our zoos, thanks Kevin of Aloha Corals, Beth n Kim, Roy aka stylaster aka Mr Prez, Shane aka USCG-CWO aka Mr Vice-Prez, Alex n Jamie aka grassi, Roger, Bay Corals and Dave aka nwcoralfarm.

 

 

 

 

 

And finally our Duncan Garden and our Frogspawn. Thanks Miles aka impur, Mike aka mytshall and Jim aka Gumby.

 

 

 

Sorry for the nasty diatoms on the sand, I've been over-feeding for the past few days trying to get my Naso to eat, and now that he's finally eating, I've cut back, but, did get that nasty little diatom outbreak. I've still got an insufficient clean-up crew, only 1 conch and 6 hermits, but, I look to be adding more as soon as I can make it down to Garrett's place.

 

I unfortunately do not have pics of our Naso aka Mr. Magoo nor our Melanarus Wrasse aka Gotti 2, as they're both camera shy little basterds, but hopefully, and so far it seems to be working, the addition of the 2 new additions, aka Bonnie and Clyde, will snap them out of their shyness. They've actually been out and about more today than they have in the last week combined with us standing in front of the tank, it's quite refreshing.

 

 

I've got some other corals I need to snap pics of, but was just feeling a bit camera lazy today LOL. I've gotta get some instructions on how to properly use my camera, so I can get better and more accurate pics, especially pics of the corals and pics of the fish, the little basterds are too [language filter] fast and they always turn out blurred. (wife)(wife)

 

Once we make it down to Garrett's and I can get the rest of my crew, I'll be taking a LOT more pics.

 

Thanks to everyone else who has donated to the cause LOL I'll get pics of the stuff you gave me as soon as I can and you will get your recognition on Mick's "Wall of Fame" LOL.

Hey Mick, how do I get on a list for a frag of that dragonsoul? Gorgeous!

[jgf86123]

I'll make you second on the list Jen, Miles is first up, just gotta meet up with him to frag it up LOL.

[Mandinga]

How are your Lunar's doing? That pic you posted a while ago looked like you had a massive nudibranch munching on the paly's??? I hope they are doing good still....

[jgf86123]

My lunars are doin great, and it wasn't a nudi, it's some kinda coral, have yet to identify it yet, but it's got a skeleton like a fungia an everything.

[Mandinga]

Thats great! Those lunar's are slick...just got some myself. just read your entire build thread and I noticed that noone commented on your question about that unidentified object. Any pics of the superman?

[jgf86123]

I'll snag some either later tonight or in the morning, it's a pretty tight mushroom for sure.

[Mandinga]

You have definitely come a long ways in a short period of time, i dig your little setup.

[jgf86123]

Thanks man, I'll be going bigger here shortly LOL

[jgf86123]

OK, so I'm fixing to blow you guys's minds with all of my pics.

 

hehe you guys and gals are fixing to get hit with a whoppin 48 pictures, so sit back, go grab a drink if you're on dial-up, and enjoy the show.

 

First off is my new FTS with my new light on top of the tank thanks to Roger(rgrcrain), thanks man, I'm loving this thing. It's a Current USA Sunpod with a 150w halide and 12 moonlights, currently running a 10k bulb but do plan on getting a 14k Phoenix ASAP.

 

 

 

Next up, well, I'm not going to go into details, it's way to many pics, so here's everything else, I'll label each pic by number and if you have questions, please feel free to ask.

I will be rearranging my entire aqua-scape after this weekend, so I'm going to be taking new pics then, and I'm also planning on picking up a 15.5g nano next week to set up as a frag tank, so I'll have even more pics LOL.

 

If it's too many pics, just say so :P and all comments, suggestions and words of advice are welcome, you can never learn enough with this hobby.

[rgrcrain]

I'm just glad somebody could use the light, it was just sitting on my back porch collecting dust.

 

I see the grey zoa's are open too, make sure you tell me if they turn into something spectacular.(rock2)

[jgf86123]

You got it man, Jess likes em like they are, surprisingly, and says she's seeing shades of lavender and pink in them already LOL

[Emerald525]

Loving the fish Mick!

[tanktop74]

Nice pics.... I see someone had a lot of time on their hands today!

 

Clowns are cute, zoas I gave you are lookin good too!

[rgrcrain]

You got it man' date=' Jess likes em like they are, surprisingly, and says she's seeing shades of lavender and pink in them already LOL[/quote']

 

I know, thats what I was seeing too, but it doesnt look like you shared them with anyone(whistle)

[jgf86123]

LOL Didn't have time when we stopped at Steve's to take em outta the bag an split em up LOL Jess was wantin to get home an eat the Panda Express we had in the car :P

[jgf86123]

Thanks Kim, gonna add 2 more fish and we're done with fish until the upgrade LOL

[jgf86123]

That they are Beth, only problem is that 2 of the hawaiian frags melted and the one with 3 different frags on it only has 2 frags on it now LOL

[tanktop74]

really??? so my frag that got sent up there melted?? Bummer. Oh well

[tanktop74]

Those hawaii zoas are touchy!! I had a hard time with them too, remember?

[jgf86123]

LOL Nah, the frag with the reds, rde's an the other didn't melt, but the hawaiian frag with 3 on it, I lost one of them, an then 2 whole frags of the other hawaiians :P

 

And I know, I guess I'll have to wait til you guys's grow out some more so you can frag more for me :P

[nwcoralfarm]

Hey Mick, I couldn't tell exactly where in the tank you had it but try putting that Favia you got from me on one side or the other, they really don't like a lot of light. It should color up a bit more then.

[jgf86123]

It's kinda on the edge of high light currently, I'm gonna be rearranging the entire tank after this weekend, and once that's done, they'll all be moved, I'm even gonna take out my one frag rack, a lot of my zoos are gonna go in the sand right in the middle of the tank LOL
