Oxy April 10, 2015 Share April 10, 2015 (edited) Hi All -- Happy to be joining a local group. A little background: I've been keeping FW tanks since the mid to late 80s and have been keeping marine tanks since the mid 90s. In 2008 I began a 40g marine fish and mobile invert tank that I tranfered to a 65g in Oct. 2011. The tank below is the 65g tank at ~3.5 years old. My interests lie more w/the biological and chemical aspects of the hobby and less on the technical side of things. I may be missing some critter, but here is a general list of what is in the tank: AcroporaAcropora selagoMoonbean (A. yongei)Limelight green slimer (A. yongei)Acropora nasutaMontiporaORA Greensleeves (M. digitata)ORA German Blue Polyp (M. digitata)ORA Orange (M. digitata)Grape (M. capricornis)Orangade (M. capricornis)Purple Smoke (M. capricornis)Shady Lady (M. capricornis)Neon green Palawanensis (M. palawanensis)ORA Spongodes (M. sponogodes)Tyree SunsetPurple Haze (M. danae)StylophoraORA GreenCotton CandyTyree RainbowPocilloporaValentine Damicornis (P. damicornis)TurbinariaYellow Scroll (T. reniformis)SeriatoporaPink Lace Birds Nest (S. hystrix)EchinophylliaRed Firestone ChalicePink Mink ChaliceGorgonianFrilly PurpleDuncanopsammiaGiant Green Polyp Duncan (D. axifuga)Favia butterscotch red BriareumGreen Star Polyps (B. violacea/violaceum)FishBlack and white clown (pair) (Amphiprion ocellaris)Tailspot blenny (Ecsenius stigmatura)Coral beauty angel (Centropyge bispinosa)Foxface (Siganus unimaculatus)Leopard Wrasse (Macropharyngodon bipartitus)Mobile Inverts Coral crabs (Tetralia cymdoce and Tetralia glaberrima) Scarlet skunk cleaner shrimpPeppermint shrimpHawaiian dwarf zebra hermitCerith snailsNerite snailsNassarius snailsFighting ConchMany hitchhikersChitonsCollonista snailsBrittle starsOrange and white ball sponges, andRed Pseudocorynactis white-tipped anemones Edited April 10, 2015 by Oxy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxy April 11, 2015 Author Share April 11, 2015 Thanks for the welcome! I love photography... guess I should add that to my list under my avatar Here are a couple of my favorite pics.... Quick question, I'm at a point where I'm fragging and thinning the corals to keep them on the smaller side, the idea is that the smaller the coral heads the bigger the tank looks. As opposed to having large corals which makes a tank look smaller IMHO. So, I will be looking into trading, selling or giving them away... I'm tired of just throwing out little frags from the thinning that I've been doing. I will follow all rules on this site, I just need to look into them more.

YHSublime April 11, 2015 Share April 11, 2015 Great shots! There is the buy/sell/free forum for members, as well as a swap program (share the wealth and propagate.) there is also a trading area. A quick breakdown of each, buy/sell/free must have a price if your listing a sale. Trading must be for reef related items only (we stretch here and allow camera equipment or scuba gear, though it doesn't often happen. SWAP must document the original coral, who it goes to, and then who it spreads to again, so on, so forth. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
