A 3 minute video of my AP24

[got2envy]

My first video for the AquaPod :D

http://s4.photobucket.com/albums/y130/got2envy/?action=view&current=0423091135.flv

I will shoot a better one, this was taken on my LG Dare phone...I just figured out how to transfer vids from my phone to the PC :thm:

what do you guys and gals think so far?

[GregAW]

Now that is cool!!!! I bought a package that has a cable and the software that lets me do a of stuff from my computer and links directly to the phone. It's called Data Link.

[got2envy]

Thanks Greg! Videos are always more interesting than pix...ya can't catch the shimmaz of the MH
I used a USB cable that is also the charger for my phone...the prong part detatches and you can plug it in the computer...i did not know that lol

[GregAW]

I agree, videos are nicer. It's a lot more fun to ba able to connect directly your PC and cell phone.

BTW - I blew my budget tonight. ;)

[Fish-Addict]

Beautiful tank! I love all the different colours and textures, it is fascinating to see all moving and with fish in there too. I love that little yellow guy on the bottom :D

Great tank!! :)

[reefbumgm333]

Nice tank and a great video.

[got2envy]

Thanks Guys! I appreciate the nice comments :)

Greg what did ya get? :D

[GregAW]

Greg what did ya get? :D

Just a single polyp of this.

http://home.comcast.net/~gregaw/ULTRA_RARE_PURPLE_HORNETS_Zoanthids_Tubs.jpg

I bought it from the guy who has the original colony and who's wife named it. :dance:

[got2envy]

I think I drooled a little.

[GregAW]

My checkbook bled a lot. :D :D :D But I had to have it. Very rare and coming from the guy who has the mother colony makes it even that much better.

[GregAW]

I think I drooled a little.

At least you didn't spit your coffee out! LMAO! ;)

[got2envy]

lol
There are such nice zoas coming outta Japan right now that have a close resemblance to the Purple Hornets...there are ones called blue hornets, beautiful...they just aren't the original *sigh*

[GregAW]

A Blue Hornets would be very nice to have too. Where did you see it. Here's a pretty nice site and the prices aren't bad either.

A Blue Hornets would be very nice to have too. Where did you see it. Here's a pretty nice site and the prices aren't bad either.
http://zoanthids.com/

Wow! nice Z's and P's! but the shipping kills me $45 :eek3:

[GregAW]

You want nice stuff from reputable people you have to pay for it. ;)

[DoN_WoN]

wow!!!!! thats really colorful i love it!

[got2envy]

Thanks! the great think about zoanthids and paly's is that there is a rainbow of color to choose from :)

[GregAW]

But the BLUE ones are expensive.

[got2envy]

I got some blue hornets 5x $15 :D

[got2envy]

Some pix from today

I went and got some paly frags from a PBMAS member...one I think I had it is a PE morph of some kind "stardust" something :uhoh: I also have pink ones i got a while back...they call them pink dalmations
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y130/got2envy/P1010010-27.jpg

also got some large red paly's that look like lani's only huge...they are called "blood rain palys" :rolleyes:
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y130/got2envy/P1010015-18.jpg

and my blue cloves are chugging along
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y130/got2envy/P1010006-30.jpg

and I got 5 blue hornets for $15...I have them in a shaded area, I hear some are having problems keeping them and they melt away :lipssealedsmilie: I was willing to risk it for $15

[GregAW]

Your tank is as crowded as mine. LOL Looks great though.

[got2envy]

yep if it starts getting too crazy I will trim stuff and either sell it or put it in my 46 or 75 lol

[GregAW]

You have too many choices of tanks! Aren't you ashamed of yourself? :)

[BoCoMo]

Thanks! the pix I take with an Olympus digital camera...the video was taken with my phone, it does have a great camera on it with 3.2 mega pixels and slow motion, panorama all kinds of stuff you can do! which is amazing for a camera phone

[GregAW]

Looks good, where have you been?

[got2envy]

[GregAW]

DANG GIRL you got some PURDY stuff in there. I've got to hook up with your supplier!

[got2envy]

Thanks Greg! I got most of my stuff locally..did ya see my PPE's :p:

[GregAW]

Which one is that? I like that second photo, center. What is that?

[got2envy]

The Large arse green and purple hairy mushroom and the Purple People Eaters are the zoas on top on the plug...Purple with the green mouth and green skirt...I looked for a looooooong time for those and finally I found a guy with the true PPE's :D

[got2envy]

My friend finished my canopy today...it's tough making something for the bow front tank. The tank sits next to my bed right by my head and the hubby works nights sometimes and as you can imagine the open top Sunpod was a bit of a problem for those of us who like complete darkness when sleeping lol
here it is...a bit taller than I wanted but at least I can put a fan on from the back blowing in...the top is also slotted for better air circulation and I drilled holes on the sides where the fans are...the tank stayed at 80F all day today :)

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y130/got2envy/P1010016-21.jpg

I am going to paint it black or should I varnish it?

Thanks for looking!

[GregAW]

WOW. It looks solid enough to add another tank on top. Black may make it look a little smaller. You will need to seal the wood from the moisture.

[got2envy]

yep I bought this boat paint schtuff for the inside :D

[got2envy]

I did some moving around of corals and added a 5 head bi color frog spawn that broke off my main colony in the 125g... I also broke the rock the GSP was growing on and put it on the sand

here is a new video omgomgomg

http://s4.photobucket.com/albums/y130/got2envy/?action=view&current=0701091055.flv

[Conski]

man you have my fav ap tank, yours and dsrs are so bomb.. and his has been running just as long as mine :( you both put me to shame.. im so jealous

[Amphiprion]

[Amphiprion]

Looks great! I still love the look the black sand gives the tank.

[GregAW]

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!

[got2envy]

Thanks guys!

[Almondsaz]

That is a beautiful system! I really like the black sand I would never have thought to do that. Your ricordia floridas are incredible. What is the coral in the second pic? Gorgeous colors. "I have to envy" now.

[got2envy]

I believe it is a Scolymia (button coral) It looks really cool with the feeders out
here's a pic of it in my old 10g under T5's
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y130/got2envy/P1010005-19.jpg

[got2envy]

I got some more SPS traded my maxijet Mods :P
I got Hydronophora, green birds nest, yellow centered cloves and some more star dust paly's and rainbow lookin' zoas :)
will post pix when they are happy again

[Ace25]

Be careful with the hydnophora, very potent sting and long sweeper tentacles that come out at night. Very similar to a galaxia.

[Almondsaz]

You have a beautiful collection of corals in your AP. I always come back to this thread...incredible. Keep posting new pics.....please.

[got2envy]

Nice!!! ;)

Looks Great! Keep the photos coming.

[AquatiCreations]

Your tank is absolutely gorgeous got2envy, I idolize it. If you don't mind me asking, what are the specifics on the tank, and any modifications to equipment? It would seem that your corals are quite enjoying the set-up.

[dkoernert]

MORE PICS!!

[got2envy]

I have a maxijet 1200, Koralia #1 and minijet 50 for flow. I use natural sea water collected at Boynton Beach inlet and do a water change every week to week and a half 2 gallons. I dose Seachems Reef Plus 2 capfuls every 3 days and did a DIY media rack to hold filter floss..Oh I also have a JBJ modular surface skimmer...keeps the surface nice and clean of oils....and of course the Sunpod :)
Thanks so much for the great compliment ;)


MORE PICS!!

I will take some more on Saturday :D

[got2envy]

*bleep bleep* long post coming in *bleep bleep*

So a couple of weeks ago I came home to the carpet in my bedroom soaking wet. I then realized the seal on the tank of the toilet in my master bathroom was leaking slowly.
Fast forward a few days...carpet torn up (it weighed a ton) went to HD picked out some new berber carpet ( I <3 it) a fe days later had to break the tank down along with a 3g pico I had just started :( everything was in bins for a day and a half. whilst this was happening I decided kinda at the splurge to upgrade to a 29g black silicone standard tank. My AP24 was quickly running out of room...Ran to Petsmart bought the tank. I had a 30" Sundial T5HO I was saving for a frag tank (that is now on hold) transferred everything back in when the carpet was done and walah!

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y130/got2envy/P1010002-49.jpg

I will start a new thread soon! Thanks for following along on my AP24 it was a great lil' tank...I may set it up as a biotope or seahorse macro tank :)

*bleep bleep* end long post *bleep bleep*
