Dukes 90G Acrylic Tank

[Duke]

Looks great.  I see a turquoise thick stag frag....looks like one of my babies maybe, where did you get it?

Thanks, it sure is, i got it from Rick at the frag swap, its been knocked over and lost a few times but i keep finding a new place for it. Seeing the size your stags im supprised its not growing faster for me..


Here it was back when i picked it up around the time of the swap. That undata came from you also.


Then

Now

Awesome colours.  I dont have that undata anymore.  Its very similar to the tyree undata but the polyps are slightly different.  As for that stag....its a beauty, and of course since it's one of the nicer stags you can find it grows slower.    So your growth is probably normal.  I got a browny/blue one that grows like stink if you want some fast cool growth form.

That one you have from me labeled as lokani is more likely a.turkai.  Same species as the ORA hawkins.  I used to think it was a.awi but changed my mind.

Yes sir, hows your tank coming?




Heres a shot of one i picked up a bit ago that came with an acro crab (you can see the legs in the first photo and a claw in the second photo) It really shines under the the blue leds. Im not sure if you call these tri colors or bonsai, i believe its a. valida

thanks Darryl, yes it was a bummer i couldnt make it.. so much so ive just been avoiding the site all together, one of these days we will have to get together tho, i really would love to check out your tank in person, the only full blown SPS tank i've seen in person is Daves in Hamilton and i could always use some more inspiration.

heres a photo i just went and took to keep this thread alive. The tank is doing good despite some summer neglect and the failure of my wavebox.
