Rich's San Francisco Build

TJ's Reef · Jan 29, 2015

Really is an AMAZING Reeftank Rich, and just realized I have never posted in this thread even though I've followed for over a year and recently on FB as well....... Oh well guess I could not compliment you any better than the hundreds of posts above already have.... lol

So newly married and all has not taken you away from the Reeftank much ??? Will have to look you up when I get down to the Bay area next time, as I'm certain pics do not quite capture it like the human eye can.

Cheers, Todd

Great shots as always Rich!

Thanks guys. As I've said I'm starting to transition into a move SPS driven tank so I've been out cherry picking and found a few gems that I had to take pics of. Oh and I got my first acano

My little SC Orange Passion

Some new zoas

And this new piece. I swear it makes my OP look a little drab.

Looking really great! It is crazy to see how this tank has progressed. Will be a very cool SPS dominant tank as well.

That Acanthophyllia is amazing!

What is that new OP killer?

It looks nicer.

It was a nice maricultured piece I found locally. Fortunately its holding color. Greenish base with blue growth tips and yellowish polyps. I'll get another pic with full PE soon

I've had a pair of clowns since the beginning two years ago. Finally starting laying which is cool. I recently added a 6 line and a baby yellow tang. I'll probably only keep the tang for a few more months. He has already decimated the hair algae problem I was having. That's it though.
