Rainbow Lobo + a few randoms

kurbs · Sep 29, 2008

Along time ago I bought a rainbow lobo from an LFS. I was at the bottom of the tank not getting a ton of light. Well, over the last month or so I moved it to the very top while doing some new aquascaping and low and behold - the coral has done amazing. The pictures can speak for themselves. So I shot this one and a few other randoms. Oh! The zoom was on for the rainbow so it's kinda of grainy. I have a PNS so I'm limited with top down and distance shots.

Thanks Marv.

Tank is coming along well. Right now my PPE's are kinda pi$$ed off since my clowns like to play in them. Of all the things they picked - they picked them ya know.

The lobo is coloring up really nice!! I wish I would have taken a pick of it a month ago. It was plain old green and pinkish red.

Those PPE blastos I have I wanted to show you...I can't seem to get a good pick since they are so far back.
Ideally whay I would liek is for someone to come by and shoot some really good pics. For some reason my FTS are crummy and can't capture the colors of the tank.

The zoa garden you are referring to is growing super fast. I was a bit concerned because I was losing a lot of my "creamcicles" but over the past month the qty has tripled. You can't really tell from the pick, but mixed in the patch of zoas are some really cool blue ones with purple mouths I have about 2 dozen of them in there.

Anyway - thanks for the compliments - they are always appreciated - especially from reefers such as yourself.

LoLz.. your clowns have very good taste.. have your PPE's been growing steady still? last time I saw the colony, it was around 30+ polyps... that's really good... I remember those days when I had a colony like that... it was my pride and joy!

anyway, yeah.. we did miss those section shots you use to take... the left, right, middle... I really like the rock work so it's always nice to see what you've done differently, if any...

btw, have you started a tank thread on the member's tank section? if not, you should...

Marv: Yeah I didn't really have the time take those shots, and quite honestly, I'm really frustrated with my camera. What I see with my own two eyes isn't being delivered the way I'd like through the lense right now. I took a tone of shots that night and wasn't happy with 98% of them so I pitched em. I am may try and snap some of those shots you like this weekend depending on my patience and the temperment of the tank that day. Yes the clowns have extremly expensive taste and no they haven't been growing. They seem to have stalled since the male clown likes to spend most of his time in them.

Rev: Thanks! :bigsmile:

Fishes: Thanks. I will say that I do try to keep it as clean as I can, not easy, but I do it.
