Fist SW Upgrade: 55 to 90 gals - Page 19

Well, we all lucked out tonight! I managed to get pics of the new firefish and the sea hare. The big question, though, is did any of them acutally turn out?

I'll post them once I've resized em.

It looks like I've got a new color champ in my tank (I don't think I'll tell Draca though).

The firefish pics turned out really well compared to my attempts to photograph my flame firefish. The sea hare was feeling fairly photogenic as well.

No flash, normal lighting:

Flash, normal lighing:

I couldn't believe how much color this fish has! The flash made the fish look cool and not all washed out (for once). Needless to say, I'm pleased with my new additions.

I've made a few changes since I last posted. I haven't added any new fish (I've been too busy with my new Windows Home Server), but I've added some new corals. I traded my old 55 gal tank for two rocks with various zoas, paly, mushrooms and GSP + cash. I think I came out way ahead on it, but I let the buyer determine the value of the frags, so I don't feel like I cheated him or anything. I've included a couple of pics of the new rocks. The second rock looks awesome in real life.

This rock was cover with these zoas at one time, but GSP took over. I immediately removed the GSP and took a small frag of the zoas (just in case). I think these are Lemon and Lime Zoas.

So far I've been able to identify Radio Active Dragon Eyes, Eye of Rah, Orange Delight, Purple Nurple Red and Mushrooms. I don't know what the little Xenia looking polypy things are yet, but I don't really like them. However, the rock adds a lot to my tank and I love it!

I've torn my rockwork to pieces and made an arch today. I don't have pictures yet, but I'll post a few once I get the aquascaping done.

Also, I've added a few new corals to my collection (pics to come once aquascaping is complete). I've added 5 ricodia mushroom (2 orange/blues, 2 blues and 1 blue green) some Dragon eyes, Lunar Eclipse Palys and some green skirt with blue face zoas. I "lost" my Purple Digi to my local reef club's frag program (I had donated it in order to be eligible to receive a frag and someone decided they wanted to sponsor it, so out it went).
