Somebody wake up Jon, the suspense is killing me. [/quote]
[glow=red,2,300]HEY JON Wake UP [/glow] 
New Years Resolution!!!
While we are waiting for Jon.
I promise to buy myself a nice little digital camera to take tank pics with, sometime, this year.

But no cell phone!
Wish I took the time to take more then two quick images, lol. I’ll get them up in a moment.
Maybe I should wait and we make a TOTM out of it. Only problem would be keeping Ken to a 15 minute presentation during the meeting. 
To preface this I would like to say I didn’t mess with the lighting setting or flash… in my cell phone camera! The colors that show up in Ken’s tanks are unbelievable. Here are a couple I’ll edit and upload more later.
Ken if you want to save any of these click on them first so you get the full size image.
MORE PICS TO COME!
Ever wonder where DPA gets all there macros? One of Ken’s fuges.(He has multiple)
WOW tanks look great Ken :BEER
Crappy Cell phone pics, so no justice at all.
Still looks good, need to stop and go shop at your house and then down to Kens 
Must be something wrong with my eyes?? Didn’t realize my tanks were that purple. I better hurry up and get that camera to play with.
Lets see, a little explanation.
that first one is a Tiger Wardi goby , I call him Pilot. because he likes to pick up and chew sand from all over the tank, and then Pile-it over his cave at the other end. it’s a big pile.
then the 11 year old 75. haven’t been able to see through the front in about 6 months. Its half empty now. half the rock has been removed, and far fewer coral types than years ago. too many crashes. Im cleaning it up now. though so i can tear it down and reuse the rock and corals for a larger tank.
the the 40 breeder fuge/softie tank below the old frag tank. it has a plenum sandbed. and that is Al’s old yellow tang peaking around the chaeto.
frag plugs in the new frag tank.
the scragly looking acro is acually the first frag i ever bought from Dr. Mac at the 2001 MACNA at baltimore. I think its a formosa, green with lavender to blue tips. it stayed a 2 inch, brown frag, thanks to my tanks many misfortunes until I found it’s sweet spot right there, 3 years ago. and it’s grown to basketball size since then. I should return a frag to him next time i see him.
green humilus i got in 2004, complete with original resident acro crab. still in there cleaning. How long do those guys live anyway?
Yup, still got some clowns!
Next post of pics:
Tiger Wardi Goby
Blue cespitularia from Jon, watched over by watchman goby, surounded by formosa and monti cap.
right to left. green hydnophora, Dory, Caps, yellow gobies in formosa, the smaller goby on the left is the one BZ swore was nipping at his acros… Uhhh… I don’t think so. they keep Dory company.
Blue Duncan.
Blue duncan.
Purple cap, purple monti dig.
frag rack.
green sinulara behind humilus.
That’s it.
think you might sell off those purple Cap and Dig. frags soon.
I have my eye on these two and the one Ken is holding… and about 90% of everything else, lol. He has some nice stuff.
Do you know what they are called Ken?
Nice tanks Ken. I would love to get some more frags from you sometime.
That palm size purple cap i was holding is the mother colony, growing from a chip i got at one of the frag swaps, or summer swap at ECA. ive only mad a couple chips from it so far. BZ got the first one last spring in a trade we did… thats the only one so far. its pretty slow growing. at least for me. I will make some more chips soon. that purple cap like thing on the plug Jon circled right front, is actually another new chip i got at the frag swap. so my only one. not sure exactly what kind.
But i do have a bunch of mother colonies going of the purple Dig. they started as frags, and are pretty branchie now. i should break some stems off and plug em. I’ll let you know. perhaps next meeting. they look different in each of my tanks. more blueish in the new tank under HQI and T5. under VHO they were deep burgundy with pink tips. go figure. I kinda run thee tanks like a lab experiment. keep playing with light and filtration. Sometimes they look good, sometimes bad.
Very nice pictures Ken, very happy looking corals 
I found a little surprise in the old frag tank the last couple days. I was thinking of pruning that large formosa acro frag in pic 2 and 3 that the little yellow gobies like to sit in and picked it up to see what the black spot was on the back side of a fork in the branches. It sure looks like an egg mass with hundreds of shiny little eyes growing. I think those two have been spawning for a while, i just never noticed. its on the back side i normally dont see. right where one goby likes to sit. the eggs are very much smaller than the clown fish eggs on the wall, in the same tank. and a lot of them.
So i have two pair of spawning fish in that frag tank. Must be something in the water. I wonder what it takes to raise the clown goby larvae? there was a bare spot on that branch where the acro receded. or the clown cleared it to lay eggs. its only about 1 inch of the branch, and about 1/4 inch wide on the back side. That might be the one BZ traded to me when he thought it was nipping his acros. but he only had the one small one. I guess it was a mate for my larger female.
Now what to do? It might be nice to try raising gobies. if i knew how.
Ken that great. You should research it and find it out. You have the clowns, and the gobies would be cool to say you raise them. Not many people can say that, you know.
