FarmerTy's 215-gallon SPS Tank

I can so relate. Not a ton of motivation on a build thread when you are over a dozen years late in doing so. It is more fun to "squat" on other's build threads.

If you only knew what "squat" meant over here!;Hilarious

A couple of indo tenuis I picked up in December. I’m on month 3 of them being in my system at around 500-600 par. It’s interesting watching them change from imported colors to captive colors. We’ll see how much more than change as time goes on.

Do you see any resemblance to Cherry Bomb in the first? Looks like mine in a way. But it could just be the IPA.

Eww, IPA. I knew something wasn’t right about you Scott. Gotta look at them while having a porter.... then all tenuis really start looking alike.

Many things aren't right about me -- but Porter? That's the stuff you mix with ice coffee right? No. I am talking about beer. Straight up.

Maybe I have been outa TX too long to understand. 1988 was a while back and I was young and drinking cheap Cuervo and Dos Equis then. Sadly in equal measure.

The Gov may not want you to have some, but resist. Smuggle in some "Road to Ruin" double.

That road to ruin sounds like I can probably ditch the orange glasses to see rainbows in my corals while drinking it.

Hmmm, sounds like it's time to test the best alcoholic drink as a reef photography light filter! Of course the same glass will have to used and emptied between tests for consistency. All in the name of science of course.;Drool;Vomit

Couple phone snaps from last night... 1) because it was easy 2) because I need to dust the DSLR and take more pics 3) because I was lazy

Hellfire torch, dragon soul torch, and holy grail mother colonies

FarmerTy Eternal Flame colony - funny thing is I always loved this piece and had it for probably 5 years now. It grew in a certain direction because of flow and caused the branches to lean towards me hiding part of the color as a colony. I did some moving around of pieces in the frag tank and turned it around and behold... got to see the non-shaded side. It’s like I have a brand new acro colony! I’m enamored with it all over again. Going to go in the display once I get around to redoing the aquascape!

Crazy torches!

 

[Elmer.]

Those torches are huge! Everyone seems to have little frags only.

You’re the second to comment on the size. I guess they are pretty big when I look at them again. They get looked right over since I have eyes for acros only.

You know there will tears again from certain viewers at another "no acros" post!

Those poor neglected torches! It may be best for me to adopt them and give them the LPS love and care they really need!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bill it wasn't from Ratha FYI.

Interesting. Do you know where he got it? I suppose I could just ask him myself LOL.

 

[BranchingHammer]

Oooh! Those jaw breakers are amazing! Might have to purchase one soon!

I gave you a like here, but only because those torches are so nice. Also, I see an acro peeking out in the goni pic ;Pompus

I see 2 Acros lol, one looks like Reef Gen Blueberry fantasy. I just picked up a frag of it recently myself.

I was told he received it from an importer wholesale. Not sure who but I know it wasn't Ratha. That doesn't mean that the wholesaler didn't acquire it from Ratha though.
