Nice. Mine looks Identical however not nearly as big lol. Love the pics btw.

Thanks, the Orchid is a great grower for me. It's already popped off four full adult polyps. Glad that I gave it a large section of its own to grow.

The eel eating pellets vid is awesome. I never would have guessed they'd go for em. Great tank, I've enjoyed the updates.

Me neither. It sure helps to decrease the frozen feedings for those lazy days.

Been awhile since I posted anything on here! Here are some new things going on with the tank, and some growth of others. Good news, the Red Planet is finally taking off with branching vs encrusting anymore! I am a bit worried since I know they table and there's stuff under where they are right now. But... I'll just wait until that actually happens before I do something. LOL.

And because it's now in a semi-shaded area, a pic of my new convict type chalice I got on a frag rack! Whoo hoo! It's so beautiful. And a nice sized piece also!

And for fun, blues!

Thanks Wes, it's my favorite chalice in my tank atm. It's got nice oranges around it.

Thanks! It's actually a wild pectenia, I'm hoping it will do well for me since it's a wild piece.

Thanks nova.

Check out this new acan I picked up. I bought it because I love the orange ring aroung each head, and there's a few heads that have some splatter on them. This one is the best, it looks like a mini scoly!

Wesley42079 · Apr 6, 2013

Nice acan pickup.

I like the splashes of green on the rim.

Thanks! Yeah, that is pretty awesome. But I've taken Saphira out of the tank.

Flame

Inferno

Flame tip/WCR Rainbow Flame Nem:

Funny story about that one flame with the top down shot. I actually bought it as this:

But shipping made it turn 100% brown, with only little hints of yellow on the tip. Luckily it was still healthy, and over a month or two it turned to that flame. Not what I bought it as, but still def cool!
