Hey Everybody, 

Here are some cool shots of some shrooms I took. I switched my lights so the pics are a little blue but still worth checking out. It amazes me how many colors these guys come in.

Enjoy.=)

MACNA 2006 - Day one - Thursday (The LONGEST DAY... EVER!) ;)

Here are some pictures of what filtered the big enormous reef tank!  The aquarium keeper from the Zoo explained how they where not able to tear out the door of the filtration room to get the sump and skimmer in, so they had to improvise.

The had to get a skimmer that would fit in pieces through the door, and the sump is actually Three door side pieces that connect to make a diant "LEGO" sump ;)  Pretty cool huh?

That skimmer was pretty big! Notice the ladder;)

Here is some of the plumbing:

Check out that gigantor UV steralizor ;)

This pump was huge, take note this picture is from a second story:

Here is the sump, notice how there are three seperate pieces... I call it the "Legos" Sump ;)

Hey guys,

Here are some shots from the 4,000 Gallon reef tank at the Houston Zoo:

This Acropora was simply amazing, it looked a lot like the Garf Purple bonsai, or the Tyree Tri-color.  In anycase I was cross eyes and in love with this piece!

Here is closer picture of it:

Here are a couple other nice corals:)

This was another killer acro I loved:

A few days ago, I posted this blog: http://blogs.frags.org/showblog.php?bid=1790 With a guess what tank this is.

Well here it is, the Houston Zoo's  4,000 Gallon reef tank, behind the scenes!

Now, seriously, this tank was simply amazing, not to mention enormous! Standing in front of this tank, all I could think of was jumping in and taking a swim!!  Woulden't that have been cool?!

The aquarium keeper at the zoo was explaining  to me how 5 guys where inside the oversized aquarium buffinf the acrylic when it got scratched.  5 men, that gives you an idea on the size of this beast!

Here are some more Top down shots:)

The rock was just covered in corals...

There are a few more shots of this tank I will post in new blogs so those on dail up don't go crazy ;)

I'm sure you are all familiar with Reefenvy.com and his Envy Orange Zoos.  Well we just got a frag of them and they are pretty insane.  We are starting a wait list on reefready.net for the crazy zoos.  Sign up soon.

This is the Venom Chalice.  Notice the pink dots on the mouths.  It seems pretty similar to the Watermelon Chalice but it doesn't have a green rim.  It might develop that later.  I sure hope so.

 The Blue Meanie Zoos.  These zoos are bluish purple with white centers that stand out a lot.  I have never seen any other zoos like these.  I grew these out from a frag I got from Rommel of ultimatefrags.com.  What do you think?

Would you like to have a speaker panel?  Where we line up some experts and just have a Q&A from the audience?  Or would you all be bored listening to other people ask questions while you are sitting?

So you've heard the stories.  You know, the kid dumps 10 pounds of sugar into the sump, the helpful friend adds an entire can of flake food to the tank.  I'm not sure how this could happen.  I don't have any kids but they always look so inocent...

Do you have any stories to share?
