At Last!!! New Tank Images!!! (Graphics Intensive)
Well, after a major fragging and overhaul last spring, a major problem (CS/IO) last summer, a major hurricane, and a major blackout, I am finally at the point with the tank where I can pick up a camera again. Not completely finished yet (who ever is) but for the first time in a while, I can say that I'm happy with it. Below are a few shots of the tank as it is today and a few of its newer inhabitants.
Reeftank Sept. '03
A. Efflorensence Detail
Pink Table
Blue Rimmed Montipora
A. subulata
Orange Montipora Frag
Acropora Corallite Detail
Plum colored M. capricornis
Barnacles in A. solitaryensis
Chromis Bedding Down For The Night in Huge Acropora
These and over 100 more new images will be up in the Fall '03 update of my website, due to go live in about three weeks.

Michael,
Once again, you've made my day! I always enjoy your Pics! Your tanks is doing very well considering what you've gone through.
That A. subulata sure looks like it will make a nice colony!

Thats it...I quit.....no sense in even trying after seeing those pics....anyone want to buy some equipment for a 65g SPS tank, and a poorly built 6' stand?
Maybe I'll take up stamp collecting.
Beautiful tank !!

Michael, Hi....awesome, incredible, what other than words can say or relate how nice the tank looks. ;~)
I wanted to ask about your pink table. Do you have an id on it?? I have gotten in the last few weeks a nice was pink now purple frag of acropora clathrata and it very much resembles your colony. Very close actually.
I will have to make a note to see the new pics when they are ready. SWEET!!!!

A. clathrata would be nice. But, no, mine did not come with even an attempted ID. I did look through Verons however but couldn't get a real lead (I think my colony is too 'young'. Also the fact that it's alive doesn't help with the identification process either . Looked at Steve Tyree's LE A. clathrata images also but again, I couldn't be sure of a match. Sure hope you're right though. Dynamite looking species.
