I don't think we would make it to far from Dans house before we see a dodge truck & a shotgun.

... anyone have any idea on if the growth is expected to be the same as other birdsnests?

rigleautomotive · 01/05/2009, 09:30 AM

Thanks everyone.

Here are a couple new pics.I have been so busy with NCPARS swap and life in general i have not had alot of time to play with the camera but i managed to steal a few minutes and got these under actinics

Nice Dan, let me know when I can come down for a while and have some more fun with a little camera shoot.

I wanna get some better pics of your beauties.

Always nice to see pics of your tank Dan. Thanks again for all the frags I got from you, everything is doing very well. The frag I gave you, I have the colony at the top of my tank, about 6-8" under water's surface and I use 250wt 14K bulbs, just so you had some idea where I kept it, my halide are about 9-10" from the water. I hope it continues to do well for you. Talk to you again soon.

i am late to this thread, but wanted to congratulate you on a gorgeous reef, dan. love your collection of corals and the amazing growth and colors you have produced. thanks for sharing.

I got some frags from Dan last year at the frag swap in Penn State and all I can say is WOW! There were the nicest pieces one could want and very healthy. They were doing very well in my system until a serious tank crash while I was away on vacation last fall. Lesson learned for me about trusting general care of the tank to a non-keeper, even for a week.

rigleautomotive · 04/06/2009, 11:51 AM

Thanks for the nice comments

Ricunger · 04/06/2009, 12:44 PM
