Alex's 75 gal

ok, new post-move photos!
Does anyone know what that is on the far left (sponge?) of the pic with the mandarin? It was on a piece of rock I got a long time ago and looked like a skeleton, but now it looks great.
It's tan colored and has these hexagonal honeycomb shapes, and is somewhat fuzzy in appearance.

No fair! you have Whammin zoas! Nice Paly's too. Great looking tank all around!

The piece with the mandarin looks almost like a brain coral. But don't hold me to it. Some mod I'm sure will know.

There's the pictures! Lookin' great. Looks like everything made the move just fine.

I agree that it looks like a brain, but I'm not sure...it's sort of brown and fuzzy and doesn't seem to have polyps.

Hmmmmmm...

Yeah, I love those Zoas, but I need more! I have another set (Armor of God), but they aren't growing too fast.

Thanks, I'm surprised it's doing so well, actually, with the move and all. I've had a lot of luck with the tank...I think I owe it to you guys on LR, lots of live rock, and a quality skimmer.

Took a vid of the tank last night. The colors are way too blue, no idea how to fix that on the video setting of my camera, but I'll work on it....some of the corals are closed up too, since I had just used some putty which caused my skimmer to go bubble crazy.

Watch it Here

Thats a great vid.
I like that foxface in there.

 

[parrotchute]

thanks! I'll try to post one with more colors this weekend, once I play with the camera some.
Merry Christmas!

Great video Alex!

Ok, got a few new pics (finally), to include Neptune, my new Talbot Demoiselle. Also got a video where the colors look right:

NEW VIDEO

Neptune

Anyone know what kind of coral this is? Looks like a brain, hitchhiked on some rocks, and is mildly fuzzy...

your tank looks great

 

[parrotchute]

thanks, also wanted to add a FTS (mostly)

 

[Bifferwine]

Absolutely love the zoas! Those are AWESOME colors!

 

[yote]

You got an awesome tank Alex.
Those colors really POP to.:D

 

[parrotchute]

Sarah,
Thanks, yeah, they have some serious pop! The bigger orange, blue, green colony started off as 4-5 polyps, so I've gotten some good growth. Those maroon ones were really drab at the LFS and I got them for cheap. In a few days they really colored up - I'm hoping once the LEDs show up (still backordered!!), they'll spread a bit more.

I wish there was someone in the local area to do some trading with, my corals are really starting to grow out...

Thanks! It's coming along! looking for advice on what to do next with it...

 

[dcantucson]

Yeah, those zoos are magnificent Alex. Good job on everything.
