DROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLL! nice setup

[Ocean Singer]

wow... do I need to say more? the yellow fiji is a eyecatcher, but the clown clip is a little tacky :P

[Doctor_Reef]

Sorry forgot to remove the clip..... My tangs were not done feeding yet!!!

[MikeS]

Wow! Looks great Ron! :-D

Mike

[FishinInTheDark]

The colors in there are amazing! Great work!

[cich1]

great looking tank Ron i envy you
i have 2 clown clips and a clam they serve their purpose

[FishinInTheDark]

Not to hijack, but I'm on the lookout for a non-clown clip myself. Until I find one, I am clipping my algae in the tank with my Magfloat.

[cich1]

i have one that looks like a clam but it doesn't open wide like the clowns do so it hard to put much in it

[Doctor_Reef]

Someone needs to invent a better clip! One that looks natural!!! :)

Thanks for the comments.... I am really enjoying this tank!!! :)

Very nice Ron... I really like the rock work, looks nice.

I like these clips... http://www.marinedepot.com/md_viewItem.asp?idproduct=TL3911 but currently use a clown clip lol.

[Doctor_Reef]

Hey nice clips....Guess I will have to get those before I take any more pics!!! :razz: Thanks for the kind comments!!!! :)

[gman0526]

i'm also the proud owner of a clown fish veggie clip!!!! :chuggin:

BTW great job!!! Love the aquascaping too. Seems like everything transfered very well.

[Sugar Magnolia]

Ron, that looks spectacular! I love the two separate rock structures. One of my favorite 'scaping styles for larger tanks. ;)

[Doctor_Reef]

I am liking it to…. I guess I was forced to do the two rock formation aquascaping because I ran out of rock!!!! But it is growing on me and it doesn’t look like a wall of rock!!!! I was also very happy that everything seemed to make the transfer well….Haven’t lost anything yet and the fish didn’t seem to get stressed out either….I am very pleased with the whole process… Thanks for the kind words!!!!

[Ocean Singer]

I have a green clip :P I think I'll super glue gel a rock to it though, make it natural :P

[Doctor_Reef]

HeEHEH.... Sounds good to me!!!! :)

[Doctor_Reef]

Here are some updates to the move of both my 60 and 125 to this new 300 gal... So far so good... Haven't lost anything and the fish are doing well!!!

So Far So GOOD!!! :)

[Ocean Singer]

looking good, how much more do you have to put in from your 60 and 120?

[Doctor_Reef]

All done...now just addition that I find out and about!!!!

[Sugar Magnolia]

That bubble is awesome!

[FishinInTheDark]

I like the artsy-off-center-too-sexy-for-my-anemone clownfish pic too!

[Doctor_Reef]

Cool name of that shot Conni!!! I think I will let you name the photo's that I take!!!!! :)

[Doctor_Reef]

I just added a new coral and thought I would share the first pics of it....

Here is my new "Red Chile Sponge" "Red Cactus Coral" Devils Hand!

[nanoman123]

Wow..... Wonderful.... Are those urchins in the third pic?





~Matt~

[nanoman123]

I was referring to the third pic on the first page

[Doctor_Reef]

Yes - that is a black long spine urchin!!! Neat critter... My wife named it sputnik!!! She thinks it looks like a satellite!!! :)

[bigfoot]

nice shots! like the goniporia

[Doctor_Reef]

The goniporia I purchased from my local fish store and I didn't think at first it was going to make it... but I was pleasantly surprised at how fast it acclimated and how well it is doing... Its got some nice color as a special bonus!!!

[Sugar Magnolia]

I hope your chili fares better than mine did. :( Mine had nice nightime polyp extension for a few weeks, then slowly it would extend less and less each night. I probably wasn't spot feeding it enough, plus the fact that it was one of my first coral purchases over three years ago. Not smart. :(

Good luck with it - they sure are pretty!

[Doctor_Reef]

Yes... they are.... They are suppose to be a very hardy coral but the spot feeding is important.... I will let you know how it turns out!!!!

[Doctor_Reef]

Here are a few updates after the transfer to the new tank... Everything to this point is doing well...

[nanoman123]

[FishinInTheDark]

I really like that green zoo (parapaly?) colony with the mushrooms! Great pics as usual!

[Sugar Magnolia]

alright im jealous enough already, now your just rubbing it in.
Awful isn't it. I live vicariously through Ron's large tank.

[Sergio Henrique]

sorry but I hated you fish tank,

I saw the pictures and I had a dream at night that your fish tank was in my living room. LOL.

your tank is too ugly why don't you buy another one and give this to me ?


congratilations your tank is really a dream for everyone

[Doctor_Reef]

:lol: Thank Sergio Henrique... I have waited a long time for it and dreams sometimes do come true!!!! I was able to sell my 125 to a close friend and help him set it up... He has done a great job getting started... So I feel like I have accomplished a couple things... got this new tank and found a good home for my 125!!!
Thanks again!!!
