Looking good now come down and put some charm on my tank

Thanks Dude
Will be flying in on Sat if the weather holds up . What charm. I can't fix something that's not broken. U got that scuba mask ready for me? I will need it for that 500 gallon beast u have.

+1 for a FTS, the sticks look great!

I will sooner or later but after seeing Cunareefers sticks .. I wouldn't dare .. Besides the tank is not matured like I want it .


Rommel's Super Mario Favia on the loose . Has lineage . Old school peice .It does this when I add some zeo supps . Looks like it wants to whack my Granulosa ..One of the few frags I was able to salvage after losing everything in the snow storm last year . Pretty long sweepers

I may have to move it .. Needs more color

Dude, you're getting good with that camera! That last shot is money!

TY ..I get lucky every now and then .

Great shot of the sweeper tentacles!!!

TY .

Got back into town yesterday . I had a great time back home with family n friends . As usual I did not get to see everyone .

Came back to a messy tank . Skimmer pump got jammed up with baby trochus snails . Lost my two red dragons . My red splath/milli got beaten to death by a Tunze . 30k fell in a acan etc. etc .

Bonsai fell into reach of my favia . Had to replace a heater .

I now have a mass explosion of aiptasia . I picked up 3 peppermint shrimp today .. Boy they got their work cut out for them .

Came home with a few goodies ..

Really thinking about ditching the rock n redoing it all .

One of Brian's ProCorals Rainbow Mini Colonies .

I am still skeptical on LED's but as you can see they work for him very well .

I was able to snag a frag of the pc rainbow n a crayola milli .

A portion of Brian's frag tank . The Crayola milli is in the bottom left corner of the pic . I don't know why I didn't bring a botte brush back .

Bad pic . This is the left side section of Julio's 120 we redid . We had to make room on his frag rack for 20 new additions .

I had to make use of rubberbands .

Those are nice, man! Good shots!

Yeah, I'm skeptical of the LEDs too... I've built them and bought some high end units... they just never worked for me. I dunno... I'm about ready to give them another go. I guess now would be the time with my tank so new.

Thanks Bro...
Same here.. maybe 3 times the charm. I already bought my replacement t5's. Gonna have to put it on the back burner. Hard to argue going to leds the way ur tri color is looking.

Not much going on . Trying to do a major cleanup of Aiptasia .

Put three peppermints in the 57 . I picked up some Berghia's and placed them in a 5 gallon qt with a few rocks from my tank .

Going on a month without a skimmer is not helping but I am dealing with it .

I have been wanting blue eyed cardinal for a bit . I picked up a trio . Funny u don't see the blue eyes until they are under reef type lights .
