Megabite's 180 Reef - Round 2

They are !

My favorite zoas by far although I don't have many. Here's a quick iPhone shot that likely looks more like your use to. Macro shots with a really good camera/ lens combo brings out a lot of detail and color. I always try and do the best I can in post processing to duplicate the colors I actually see.

That will change... they are a pest. i have them all over the place floating babies all over. Small tip, if you see one take hold somewhere you don't want it, KILL IT WHILE YOU CAN! Or it will turn into 100.

No kidding! Thanks for the heads up. I didn’t think these were all that prolific.

So, I’ve decided to organize all my old reef stuff from years ago and dug up my three 250 watt HQI metal halides. To my surprise, they all work with the exception of one ballast. Even the Phoenix 14k bulbs ignited!

Now, what should i do with them?

Oh, geez, such a difficult question to answer.

New tank new tank new tank new tank new tank new tank new tank

 

[MegabiteOG]

And also just checked out the 150 watt Viper and it works as well. @That Crusso Kid. I wonder how that would go over your new tank? Yours if you want it or one of the 250’s. Reflectors are 15” x 15” on the 250’s.

Haha! No new tanks!

I’ve decided I only want to run one tank for now. I have a spare 90 gallon with everything, but don’t want to maintain more than one. Been there, done that.

This week’s mission is to clean up my building/ garage. Started with the reef stuff. The problem is that I’m a bit of a pack rat and hate throwing my stuff out!

I wish I had these types of problems!

 

[MegabiteOG]

Another goodie I will likely never use.

 

[MegabiteOG]

Another box of goodies to go through.

Thanks, so much, for the offer. I will have to get back to you with an answer.

I see very, very little that should be thrown out.

Looks like you just need more shelving! so much room for activities in there!

Then I'd need one of those library ladders to get to stuff. Those are 14' or 15' walls.

And what's your point?

 

[MegabiteOG]

That I need more shelving and a library ladder to stuff more stuff in there. That way, I can live in there when my wife kicks me out for not getting rid of stuff that I’ve had in boxes for the last three moves across the US over the last 15 years.
