Flippers reef 125 gallon

[Flippers4pups]

Agreed- I love this monti cap and really hoped I’d have one like it one day. Think I might have ‘scaped myself out of that possibility though- just not sure where I’d put one

Awesome recap of your day Flipper. I’ve only been to chi town twice for conferences, but I did do the walk from the bean, to navy pier to Shedd one time and my feet were killing me. I took a water taxi back closer to the hotel, and nearly got hypothermia. Mid March, on the lake, in a T-shirt, lol

Thank you!

Was a photo bomb! Lol wish my clowns would host it again. They did that almost 10 years ago. That was pretty cool!

Very Happy with the Aqua UV sterilizer! Water has been ultra clear since I slapped it on the system!

Flipper's seal of approval!

Tank is officially blessed by Rev and Daniel! Lol

Not sure you mentioned it or not but what are you using for a pump with it?

Running off the return pump manifold. Flow controlled with a ball valve. Nice to have a pressure rated pump that has enough to run things I need when needed!

Man, I could never get my return manifold to run correctly. Whenever I needed a bit of flow through a reactor, my BA started purging and gurgling. Then I’d have to up the flow on the pump, but when I didn’t need the reactor anymore, I’d spend a couple days trying to refind the sweeet spot.

Was an excercise in frustration. I have a small 400gph pump on a mini manifold with 2 reactors on it, and another 400gph pump feeding the refugium. My return is now just a straight shot up to the tank

What are the green tentacles in the first pic? Can’t recall seeing a torch with stems that big, and they don’t look like Aussie elegance

Cheers

How many of those can I get in a 180 with 3 purple tangs, 2 yellow tangs and 4 moorish idols?

 

[AngryMike2016]

Sorry man, but you really need at least a 500 for one Cthulu.

I think you could do one, the problem is finding a continuous supply of virgins to sacrifice.

Tang police are one thing, but I'd be curious to see what a Cthulhu police person looks like. Classic cultist with a badge just trying to 'keep up the standard' in the hobby of Elder One keeping?

I love you guys, lol

Cthulhu don’t need no police. You always obey Cthulhu. Always. He wants to vacation in your tank, you make room. If he wants 9 tangs to come hang out while he’s there, you go shopping.

I, for one, welcome our tentacled overlords.
