and some from today with new yuma's and alien eye zoas

 

[clyde:)]

what lighting do you have for that??????

 

[joncat24]

stock aquapod lighting. The only thing modded so far is a piece of acrylic over the bottom water inlets so all of the water goes over the top grate for better surface skimming. I havent even changed the stock pump yet...LOL

GOOOD looking rics and yumas! I like it alot. I have been thinking about getting a 12g NC or AP and doing nothing but rics and yumas.

 

[joncat24]

As soon as I saw em, I had to order....lol

After seeing your pictures, I think I'm going to use the black sand in my Nano tank. It seems like it would stay looking "clean" since it's already dark. Do you like it so far?

 

[joncat24]

Yeah, I really like it so far. I think it looks so much nicer than the white in the nano. It provides a nice contrast.
The sand I had was " ocean floor direct",,,,,it sucked. It had alot of shellas and chunks of crap in it. The new stuff is by sea-chem so it cant be too bad....LOL

 

[m0nk]

Wow, that's looking great. It sure is filling out nicely.

 

[joncat24]

thanks monk,
I cant wait til my yellow rics get here tomorrow!!!!

I hope they look as good as the pics I saw of them.

 

[joncat24]

couple of new pics...first one has one of the new yellow rics next to an orange one...not as yellow as I imagined, but I still like em.
fourth pic is a monster green/purple that I got form the same place...it has two mouths and is around 3.5"

WOW THAT LAST PIC IS AMAZING. What kind of camera do you use ? I need to find a good camera that is not that exspensive. On the 100-200 dollar price range. AWESOME LOOKING PICS THOUGH. How much do you pay for your yumas and rics ? Oh 1 more q, How do you get the rics and yumas to stay put ? Everytime i seem to put one in there it disappears. So far this last one i put , has stayed kind of in same place but seems like it floats away at times.

 

[joncat24]

thanks..
the camera is a kodak z612 I dont think they make em anymore, but it is around 225 last I seen it.
I usually let the rics attach to some sand and then I use superglue to attach em where I want em.
I normally pay around $10-12 for a ric and shipping is $12 . I usually wait til I order 7-8 at a time.
The yumas were $17 for the orange one, and the other rock came from here it was 29.99 for the rock and had about 13 polyps on it. I took some of them off and traded them
