It's been too long since I went over to visit Tony. Well, yesterday, Angie, Madison and I made the visit. One word....WOW!!! This tank has grown so much in the past several months! Oh and that Frog Fish!!! If you scroll up, you'll see that it used to be jet black and lil'. Now, when I approached his tank, I thought he had a large yellow sponge growing on the side of his rocks. You'll see what I mean when you look at these pics...

Interesting perspective, through the left corner of the tank....

Purple Death Palys. Some of the polyps were almost the size of a quarter!!

Forgive the sunlight coming in through the window. Can you see Froggy???? (Tony, I don't know what you've named this guy, so I'm calling him Froggy....)

Remember those action shots I promised?? Stay tuned.....
 
Tony has set up a beautiful, freshwater planted tank, to grow FOOD!!! I don't know why I didn't get any pictures of it.....

Anyway, let's watch Froggy eat. Keep in mind, my camera shoots 9 frames per second, in continuous bust, which is what I was doing. Don't blink....

Froggy's got his "lure" up.

Wow looks good Tony, it's been quite awhile since i saw your tank in person it looks like it has been quite busy growing :) Really surprised how the frogfish changed, last i saw him he was jetblack and you could barely make out what he was hehe.

Yep, tank is grown out quite nice, and froggy has realy changed color. Give me a ring and come on over one of these days!
 
Oh, almost forgot...

I also got a chance to "Sample" a couple of Tony's home brews. YUM!!! Thank you for your hospitality, Tony, and for the frag racks!! It was great to see you.

Good seeing your famliy again, thanks for stopping by and snapping the pics. Those pics turned out awesome!!!!

The frogfish pics remind me of a "where's Waldo" game!
 
WOW!!!.
Very impressive zoanthid collection.
I just love large colonies like that.
Nice work.
