outstanding!!! love to see the more mature colonies.you don't see that so often anymore.

 

[tangdiver]

Thank you for all the comments, as you read on this thread. I am a marine biologist that has loved this hobby for many many years. I had an aquarium/ fish bowl before I could ride a bike.

I got away from the hobby for about 3 years while in Las Vegas....too much work adn taking care of others people's tanks was enough for me.

I had a business for a while here in Sioux Falls, SD. When that was sold to another store I put up my dream tank I could afford. This is it.

 

[tangdiver]

These most recent pictures are from Travis and are from 2008.
They are over a year old. As for corals I have rearranged things, took out all rock and redid tank. I sold some corals, sold some colonies....yes the whole things. I shipped whole 8" colonies with the help of Travis. He has perfected a special way to send these priceless corals. These were all we had and could not be replaced.

But to answer your question....no not here and now pics but they will come. Stay tuned. I am at the end of 2008.

I will be posting 2009 soon.

thank you for the interest.

All right I am hooked. Here is some from Feb 2009.

Only 3 I think....

 

[tangdiver]

Here is the purple haze....had it for a while. Travis has it growing on his back wall of his tank. Will have to get pics from his. His is over 15" + in diameter. I have mine on bottom and is 5". So this tells you more light and more flow does this coral so much.

 

[tangdiver]

Here is my favorite tang I am housing. My true favorite is the achilies, but cannot get one to stay alive long enough.

You can see my slimer and other corals here.

 

[tangdiver]

The full tank shot from Feb 2009. Not the best shot but you see the corals.

 

[benny z]

plenty of room left for them to grow UP!

 

[tangdiver]

You can see the clam here, he was in front for a while....then started scratching tank by opening and closing so I banned him to the back.

Also you can see the soli, middle back, and efflos doing pretty good on the top right side.

Fish are blurry but oh well. Who needs fish, we want the corals right?

 

[tangdiver]

Trying to keep them from stinning each other is a pain, so fragging them and selling colonies...

Keeping my favorites and weeding out the lessor ones.

Should just let it grow, slimmer is at the surface now and looks bad...due to some out of the water and has a flat top.

Will post those later in the thread.

thanks for the comments.

i would take some of your weeds the next time you are thinning.

 

[tangdiver]

Aren't your chalices getting to big....chop them up and we have a trade.

 

[tangdiver]

Not many chalice in my main tank. ;-)

 

[benny z]

Not many chalice in my main tank. ;-)

me either. in fact, zero.

give me another 6 months grow time and maybe my chalice frags will have grown from boogers to pinky nails. :wink:

we'll figure something out. i'm in no rush. :nerd:

 

[tangdiver]

Yep, used to buy pinky nails, and now buying boogers......you are right.

As the frags get smaller and more $$ the wife gets madder....

oh well, its not crack.

well maybe it is.

 

[tangdiver]

Is there only a few people reading this? Is it boring, or what?

What do you wanna know, or see?

I have pics of me cleaning tank with shirt off......but do not want to be responsible for all the puke on people's computers.....

[tangdiver]

I am slowly finding more and more pictures of things and trying to organize so all flows nicely.

Hope you all enjoy

 

[Demonic]

Pics look good, keep them coming.

 

[tangdiver]

How is your tank coming along Demonic?

What about all the corals?

Thanks for stopping by.
