Macro's 120 and 270 Tank Thread

[Macropora]

You had that clam for 2 1/2 years in a tank and there is barely any coraline on the shell? :scratchch

Yes, that is true. I've been using just 400 watt 10,000K bulbs without supplemental actinic lighting for many years. A couple of times a year, the clam shell get's scrubbed to remove the algae, mojano's and other critters that were resident on the shell. When I had the actinic lighting, there was alot more coralline on the shell. There is an MTC ProCal that I use to maintain the calcium for the 400+ gallon system.

Wingo,

LOL, I had too many frag tanks before, but this acrylic frag tank that I picked up from Aquatic Express is the best! It let's me compare the clarity between the starfire glass on the 120 gallon and the regular glass on the 270 gallon. What a difference acrylic makes and it's ultra clear. Thanks and your welcomed to stop by!

very nice design I really like the one.....

All I did was add some fancy text, but it was your photo skills at work here to make for a great combination. You rock!!! :thrash:

The last remaining MOIDOL pics have finally been posted for posts 5 - 8. The fancy type was taking too long to edit with the pics. Will put in some more tank shots and some pics of Acan collection that I have at a later date. In the meantime, enjoy :tongue1:!

Thanks for the complement. There use to be 5 Gigas, 1 Derasa and 1 Squamosa. They were all above 8 inches in size. Never had any luck with the Maxima's and Croceas and gave up on them.

I totally missed this!!! Nice pics Jeff and I think the pics are about 1/2 year old.

Thank you. I have put a hold on collecting anymore chalices until I figure out what is eating up the edges on some of my prized chalices. I must have picked up a hitchhiker...

Name that mummy eye

Time for some growth pics. Group shot of my mummy eye collection... All started as a one eye frag and had them for about 8 months (except for Meng's which is 2 months at that size). Three types in group shot: Oregon Mummy Eye #1 , Oregon Mummy Eye #2, Cornbred Trash Mummy Eye and Meng's Mummy Eye. Can you guess which is which?
