New 180 gallon system build TOTW 9-6-07

[Samper]

I'll try and find out what's wrong with it tomorrow. Campus opens back up for business so someone should be around.

I snapped these pics this morning between classes. The sun rises on the front of the system and it leaves a bad glare for me to deal with. I should have waited until later. Anyway, the first set is of the mouth of my Holothuria edulis. Have never seen this side of it cause its always in the sand but I got lucky. Took them as fast as my camera would go

That is cool!!!!!! keep them coming man!!!!

[Samper]

Misc. There are six clones in that anemone pic Gene and I've removed eight total now. I honestly don't target feed them directly anymore and I see them eat some larger pieces of Rods Food from time to time.

Good stuff Chuck! That anem of Gene's is CRAZY prolific isn't it?

[Samper]

They are. I love them though. Thank you Gene.

[charlie]

Great job, things are really looking good, do you have a full tank shot we could drool over?

[Samper]

It's embarassing because of the glare. The lights don't look right either.

[charlie]

Good Lord Chuck, I would be embarrassed to not put that beauty up. That is just flat outstanding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Man oh man that is nice.

[Samper]

I treat it like it was my own....actually mine get neglected more than this one. Thank you very much Charlie.

[charlie]

Hey, you deserve it, you busted your butt for that. That is a beautiful display, and to have it where it is...............................

[Reefland]

Not a damn thing embarrassing about that!!!

[Marksturbridge]

Really nice looking tank setup, Id frag swap with you anyday!

[Samper]

Thank you both very much! I felt the picture quality was not good enough. I've been saving for a digital SLR camera and I like the Nikon D90. I didn't want to go over $1000.00 and I really want a macro lens though. I am so tired of having nice macro shots sitting there with no way capture them.

That is a very nice tank set up you built there, Chuck. Congrats!

What happened to the bubble tips? I think I remember distinctly seen those on your clones...

Good stuff Chuck! That anem of Gene's is CRAZY prolific isn't it?

Mike, you can;t even imagine... I can;t keep up with removing.

[Samper]

I have seen no bubble tips for months Gene. It doesn't seem to be an indicator of health though. Any insight now on the coming and going of the tips?

[Lucid]

Awesome tank Samper! What kind of (BTA?) anemone is that? Great color it adds.

I have seen no bubble tips for months Gene. It doesn't seem to be an indicator of health though. Any insight now on the coming and going of the tips?

No, I don't believe it indicate health conditions either, Chuck. For what it;s worth, I've seen mine developing them and then not showing them for a long time, and then having them again... I'm thorolughly confused on this subject.

FWIW, my RBTA has had bubbles on it all throughout this particular conversation????? I noticed yesterday that 90% of the tentacles had bubbles. My lights aren't on yet, so it can't be confirmed yet this morning.
