Default Thought I'd share...

So I stopped by my good friends Mike's house last night. Snapped some pics with my phone. Figured you'd guys would enjoy as much as I did. He's not a guy who posts so I figured I'd throw this up here.

There is nothing in this hobby like a mature acro tank. Sure makes me miss my old set up, and gives me the patience to wait for my current set to mature.

This is one of the prettiest acro colonies I have seen, and I've seen a ton in my day....Red Planet.






ATL Ultimate Stag.


Tri Color


ORA Cali Tort and WWC Unknown. He snagged the Cali from me when I was breaking down some time back. The growth is exceptional. He shagged the other from WWC.


Another shot of the two with the Red Dragon


Slimer and TriColor


Garf


Side shot


WWC Somewhere Over the Rainbow, UC Strawberry Shortcake, 30k Lokani, Etc..

Just WOW!!!
It is always nice to see a mature tanks that are pretty much a slice of the ocean (may be with some little actinic). Do you happen to take a FTS. If so, please show us.
Thanks for sharing.
