Guess which end is up (Pic)

tubs · 01-20-2003, 02:05 PM

hi all,

I was browsing through some pics of my old tank and i found a cool one. You almost have to look twice to figure out which end is up

Have fun LOL.

***Reefland*** · 01-20-2003, 02:10 PM

You have the best "reflective" shots on the market my friend. Very cool pictures.

Regards,

The top pic is "UP"!

Hey thanks Scott.

Anymore wild guesses

as to which is the correctly oriented pic LOL.

First one is upside down and second one is right side up.

Hi John,
How the heck are you? Did you ever get a new tank built? Do you have any recent pictures of those 2 A. rudis colonies?

Regards,
Kevin

Tendar you are right my friend - all just innocent fun i guess.

Hey Kev how have you been? I do have the new tank but I can't seem to find time to begin to set it up. Been really busy with family and work especially with my 8 month old little girl. The tank has been sitting in the garage for the last 3 months unfortunately collecting dust. It's 8'L x 3'D x 2' H with 3" perimeter bracing - very nice and wide open indeed.

As for the rudis I have the cobalt blue one but unfortunately it turned brown on me. I see them once in a great while at a local LFS and they sell them for really cheap so if you want me to pick one up the next time i see one let me know. Good luck in keeping them blue though. The first one I had I seemed to have kept it at a decent color so there is hope

**kevinpo** · 01-20-2003, 11:24 PM

John,
I would really like to have both the blue and the green/yellow ones. I can make it worth your while if you are looking for that special Acropora sp.

to help fill that new tank.

I can't believe it's been 8 months already. How are you adapting to being a Dad? Great I'll warrant. Send me a picture of her.

Regards,
Kevin

**scubadude** · 01-20-2003, 11:51 PM

Ya know to truelly answer your question to which end is up I think I will need to see some of the colonies IRL

I agree w/scott, you have the best reflective shots I have EVER seen! Not to mention an SPS tank that is off tha hewk! Hope all is well with the family

Peace Bro!

tubs · 01-21-2003, 12:27 AM

Kev,

If I see either one then I'll pick it up for you. The last one I got I paid just 35 and thought that was a great deal. I haven't seen the green in a while though. When I get something then I'll let ya know and we can make arrangements for shipping. Maybe we can do a mail trade for frags at the same time to make the best out of shipping?

OK yeah when I did see you at the meeting I was taking a break from the hospital LOL. My little girl is indeed 8 months now and standing up on her own already. Time sure goes fast mang. I'll post a pic of her here later. Actually she was my second so maybe i'll post a pic of both.

Rocky,

Thanks for the kudos and the family is certainly doing well. Hope all is well with yours as well and hopefully your venture into farming is also going great. FYI though the tank as you see in the pic is no longer. It is however reincarnated temporarily in our new sunroom until I get the new tank up (whenever that will be

LOL).

Happy Reefin'

John

OK Kev, here's a pic of my little cutey girl:

Man 8 months did go pretty fast.

cheers,

john

**kevinpo** · 01-21-2003, 12:32 PM

John,
That is one cutie pie!

Being a Grandpa myself kind of gives me a special appreciation for babies (hey my wife is much worse than me).
Thanks!

I'm up to species 95 of SPS now most of which are fragable (is that a word?)

So your choice

Best regards,
Kevin

**scubadude** · 01-21-2003, 12:55 PM

Oh MY! she is adorable John!

tubs · 01-21-2003, 05:19 PM

Say she's a reefer in the making LOL. She stares at the tank just as much as I do!

BTW the area behind her where the fan is is where I'll be putting the new 360 - hopefully soon as time permits.
