My little slice of Ocean

I got the ricordea from CCritters, Dana is a great guy to do business with.

I am packed full of corals at the moment =( Not getting anymore SPS (Unless it's a deepwater like Caroliniana or something)
Gotta wait for it to grow!

More pictures as promised.

have any good pictures of that tiger tail sea cucumber those are one of my favorite inverts i have one in my 90 and hardly ever see the thing
 
Nope >< That cucumber is very elusive... always hiding in rocks.

I'm planning to switch my current light system to ATI 8x54w T5...
Anyone have experience with T5? Are they pretty good?
 
Love the new pics....The ricordea garden is beautiful! That last pic - is that a camera box thingy to help capture these amazing pictures??
 
awesome tank!! I really like the dimensions. you're getting excellent colors on your corals. great job! :)
 
Thank you =).

Sportzfish, That one I got it as Copp's Turquoise Hoeki. Though it does look like a blue matrix, I dont know....

i'm almost 100 % sure that this coral could be a miami orchid from ORA... i have a friend who has it under the same conditions that you have it, low light in a shade. the lower the amount of light it receives, the darker the coral gets! it also starts to show that slight green grafting on the polyp base when in shades...
 
I don't think it's a Miami Orchard, the Mother Colony I got it from does not grow like it. The Mother colony had VERY long blue tip. I was told it was a prostrata
 
Got 5 Evansi Anthias!! These guys are awesome!!

Initially had a little aggression w/ my lyretail but that has subsided in less than a day. They're eating Nutrimar Ova right now, havent seen them trying cyclopeeze / mysis yet... But atleast they're eating :xd:

I have 4 that are brave enough to comes out but the 5th is still shy and still hiding =( he came out to eat though!:bigsmile:

(Please excuse the flatworms. My wrasses are working on it!
 
Thank you everyone =)

Unfortunately... I didn't see one of the Evansi when I got home today.. and another was hiding =(

The remaining 3 was swimming in the water column and sucking up Nutramar Ova though! So I'm happy
 
Absolutely stunning! Truly looks like a slice of the ocean which is super cool. I was reading your equipment and was like man, a little overboard on the lights... Then realized how deep your tank was. Very sweet. Nice work.
