Good to hear! You getting any sleep yet?

Our monkey is starting to walk holding the couch edge...time to tear down some tanks!

Give me a call sometime, you still got the number?

Sheol · 08/11/2009, 05:32 PM

Rob: Thanks, I love this thread. Kev started it just when I was getting into Favia..
On a sad note: I seem to be losing two of my Favia through tissue recession ( I am keeping an eye on my C. argi though!). Problemws with the lighting I think as all other corals are going good including a new Red Favia that I am trying to get a pic put up of.
Not sure of the cause but definitely got to get a new light set. Unfortunately, I also have a trafic ticket to pay. Starting to spot feed & crossing my fingers!

Looks like I need to get on the ball again!

Matthew
Bump!

JLAURIA751 · 08/18/2009, 03:49 PM

i'm thinking about buying this prism favia for $70 what do you think?

Sheol · 08/18/2009, 05:34 PM

That I would definitely go & get it, if I were you.
I however, seem to have 1 or two tank issues to address before any new favia..

Nice Tamrindthai!

Yeah, were's all the new eye candy peeps!

Sheol · 08/20/2009, 05:36 PM

Now THAT *IS* a cool macro shot.
Wish I hadn't killed my camera ( but my last pics are stuck on Photobucket, fortunately)...
I'd get a new camera but my new T5s just set me back a couple of hundred bucks. So it won't happen this month. Sigh..

Matthew

wishntoboutside · 08/21/2009, 08:19 AM

that one is nice for sure.. great camera skills too.

amore169 · 08/21/2009, 10:16 AM

What camera are u using? Very beautiful pics.

Sheol · 08/21/2009, 05:50 PM

Yeah, that is a great angle, is your tank up pretty high? I know that sounds silly but I know of a few tanks that were placed high for a bottom up vantage. Like you'd be swimming up a real coral slope in the ocean..
Again, killer shot!

Hey Sheol here the flamethrower Favia pic... Thanks for the pic clockwork... its hard to capture the orange rim in the pics but looks just like my flamethrower chalice. its pretty neat.

Here is another one im trying to find a name for any ideas?????? coloring up reall really nice lately

roblack · 08/23/2009, 08:46 AM

Now those are some sweet pics Nis! Clockwurk hooked you up. Can't wait till my FT looks like the colony, Holy Cow! I'll help you name the second one for a frag.

Sheol · 08/23/2009, 06:26 PM

Flamethrower is the best name for the first one, looks to be the species of my newest addition ( the one whose pic I'm still trying to get over here from Photobucket without much success) which is a duller shade of red with some pink. Its still a cool one & so far has escaped whatever is afflicting my Xmas tree & Chocolatemint colonies.
Hmm, the second one? Neon lights is the only thing that comes to mind. Maybe Saturday Night Neon Favia?
DARKSILENTTYPE: That is freakin' awesome man. Love that Favia, want to frag a piece for me? PLEEEASSE..

Matthew
Good pics & great eye candy everyone!

stagcrazy · 08/23/2009, 09:13 PM

How about the "Now and Laters Favia"? It was a very poplular candy back in the day. It came in all types of flavors and colors. Maybe it's a good name? I don't know...maybe I'm just hungry.....

Beautiful piece none-the-less. Perhaps if I could see a frag in person, I could come up with some better names...

Can you take this picture, backing up a little so we can see it in the tank? That coloration is incredible.
