Hi Martin,

Congrats on the baby.. .Now, are you trying to post images from your hard drive? If so, you can't use [img] tags for this. Instead, on the bottom of the page where you are typing your post, there are section that says "additional options" and just bellow that there is a button that says "manage attachments". Click on that button and another widow will pop up with five buttons that says "browse" on them. Click on one and it will allow you to select an image from your hard drive by browsing your hard drive and double clicking on the image you like to add to your post. You can repeat that five times. If you have more than five images you'd like to upload you'll have to add another post and this will allow you next five images.

Thanks Gene,

The scary thing is that this tank will be coming down in four months or so, due to a remodeling/addition to the house. But there will be a new tank for these corals to call home. 30"Tx36"Wx96"L and is being incorperated in to to remodel. STUPID permits have to be approved first.

Thanks,
Martin

Hey Martin!

Your tank is looking great and I bet the new one will look even better; those dimensions are awesome! Be sure to post some pictures of your new one as it progresses.

THANKS ELMO18,

Can you belive that all these corals started as frags or given to me from other reefer's. Some came from Spasse. What ever happen to Scott?
The only two That I got from my LFS is the Big GREEN MONSTER CARPET and the OUT OF CONTROL LETHER! :eek3:

Very NICE!!!

[zhenya]

Hey Martin,

it would be nice if you'd start a new thread as construction begins, sort of a progress thread. It would benefit many to see how you'll plumb everything, arrange your rockwork, selection of rock and other things. I personally love threads like this. And, hopefully you'll take lots of pics, especially now that you know how to add them to your post. ;) j/k.

Nice mature colonies! Looks great!

Sweet Martin

Which corals came from Scott? I sure would like an update on him as well.

Hey the last post you did of 3 pictures whats the middle picture coral?


Wooohooo New setup coming up......You know thats gonna be fun

Congrats on your family ;)

[vtec si]

Thanks Scubadude,

Corals that came from Spasse
1.The frog spawn was the size of a soft ball and has been fraged many times. This last time I frged it in Half to start two colonies. They are both as big as a soccer ball.

2. the candy cane also came from scott and just about all my REEF friend in the Denver metro area has a piece of this baby.

3. The coral that is in the upper right side of the tank ( can not remember the name) came from Scott and has doubled in sized

4.The Pineapple brain in the lower left of the tank also came from Scott. It has propagated on its own now there is two.

5.He also gave me a purple elagent it did not make it RIP!

Rocky the coral in the middle pic is still a mistery to me. I have been told that it is a cactus coral, plate coral and, a wrinkle coral.
I think it is a cactus from all the reading that I have done. It is reddish brown and has lime green ridges and long tentacles when feeding.

NEW SET UP INDEEDED IGOT ONE QUOTE BACK TODAY FROM TENECOR. $2100.00 SMACK A ROOS . STILL SHOPPIN'

Thanks,

Martin
