Nice one post more picture

[barometer]

Great looking zoas, can't wait 'til I can get some like that. More pics please! :D

Ed

[convict]

Let me know if you are ever fragging any of your zoas! Those are beautiful

[Emokidjosh26]

thanks, my buddy nick took the pics, he's getting good taking pictures.

[Emokidjosh26]

I will have some frags from my main colonies soon. Keep an eye on the for sale section.

[convict]

Awesome! Just go ahead and pt me on the list! ;)

[barometer]

Hehe, yeah I'm probably good to be put on that list as well. :p There are quite a few people on this board that I'll have to hit up for zoa frags in the future :rolleyes:

[j_electric]

are the t5's enough light because it looks good

[Emokidjosh26]

I haven't had a problem with them, I am running 2 Blue Plus, 1 Super Actinic, and 1 GE 65K bulb. And the bulbs aren't overdriven, if they were the tank would probably be brighter. I read up them alot before I switched out my MH for the t-5's. I gave up the shimmer effect for the use of less electricity.

[Nick_Kun]

I run a 400watt MH HQI and the T5 retro he is running is close to the brightnest

[wimpydailo]

nice tank josh!! i know how nice nick's tank looks but now i got to see your in person.

[pnguy3n]

nice tank josh are you going all zoos?nick has the photography down eh?

[Emokidjosh26]

The Tank already is almost all zoa's, the only non-zoa's is a 4" Orange/Red Monti Cap and a quarter size frag of Green Polyp Toadstool. I plan to add to my collection now that I have a tank that can fit more in there.

[pako73]

Sweet lighting!!!

Looks like you have a clam in there too.

[Emokidjosh26]

I forgot all about the clam he is approx 3", I have had him for almost a year. I got him from Fraggle Reef when they first became a sponsor for this forum.

[Diver Dan]

WOW It is filling in really good! What are those last blue ones with the green circles arround their mouth?

[Emokidjosh26]

They are either Blue Eyed Dragons or Lemon Drops. Bought as African Zoa's at RAP.

[DaChrisDude]

hey, very nice Josh! I like the aquascaping much more than previously. Looks like you got rid of the algae too. ;)

[Nick_Kun]

haha thanks to me and some of my LR. :)

[pnguy3n]

did you use the acrylic rod method?

[Nick_Kun]

nope, just the nick skills here. :) lol

[pnguy3n]

haha just stacking them up? looks awesome.

[Emokidjosh26]

Yep, the rocks just stacked together it would be cool to do the whole acrylic rods but for now stacking works for me.

[corbeano619]

beautiful tank. 1 of the best tanks I've seen yet.

[Emokidjosh26]

New picture of the tank after moving stuff around for the new tank:

[Emokidjosh26]

Chris - hit me up, I can probably frag some of my stuff, but it would be small frags

Paul - You can see in an earlier post the same colony, I bought them as a protopaly colony, they looked puprlish when I bought them, but now they look brown, it would be cool if they go back to being purple.

[pnguy3n]

I have purple deaths and they are actually purple, but the polys' are really small. I have never seen a true purple death,like at zoafrag.com I was just curious. Nice tank btw.

[WanaLeime]

Nice ZOAs.....Nice Aquascapes!....Im jealous!!!!!

[ManTis]

love your ZOAs.......

[Nick_Kun]

haha a koi colored wrasse...haha

[Nick_Kun]

The shiznit? who came up with that. didn't the original owner who owns the whole colony of this, I think fraggle reef, his colony died?

[Emokidjosh26]

The shiznit yep, that's what they were called when I bought them and will keep the name just because it is different.

Wow love the aquascaping, its open but it doesn't look like clutter nor cookie cutter. I've been waiting for another great update. Great pictures Nick! I'm also digging the echinata collection going on. As always great zoos too!

~Mike

[Emokidjosh26]

Thanks Mike

[Emokidjosh26]

I guess no one liked Nick's pictures of my tank. :ohsnap: :hideeyes:

[barometer]

eh, Nick's pics are crappy :ohsnap: j/k of course :p Nice job Nick
Looking good as always Josh, can't wait to see the new setup in person :D

[Nick_Kun]

yeah I guess I'll stop posting pics here :(

[barometer]

yeah I guess I'll stop posting pics here :(

Please don't stop Nick-san, who's gonna put my pictures to shame? Besides, we don't have nearly enough good photos on this website.....and you'll be disappointing your #1 fan.....me :cool:

BTW Josh, i'm definitely interested in some of the shurikens if/when you frag some :)

[Emokidjosh26]

I am planning to frag some Friday for the Swap on Sunday, I can make one for you.

[barometer]

Sweet, I will be at the swap.....hunting you down :p See you there! :)

[Emokidjosh26]

I'll probably have some other stuff you might like as well, so try to find me early, hint (http://www.club-zoa.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8548&highlight=Golddust) , and hint (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v514/Emokidjosh26/GrowOutZoas.jpg)

[barometer]

um.....hell yeah on that first hint. I like the shiznits too if there will be any. Hmmm, I better go to the bank as I really don't have any frags to bring :p
