That's a great looking jordani! That's on my short list of additional wrasses I want to add as well.

Beautiful tank and awesome stuff!

Why did you chose the garage?
What happened that would have made you tear it down if it were inside, if you dont mind me asking? At first i thought what the heck, hes putting it in the garage, but now i think i want to move mine out there, seriously. My truck wont fit in my garage anyway..

Thanks aquarius. Well, I've had 2 leaks since it's been up in August of 2007. BOTH with me away on a trip or getting ready to leave for a trip :ah:

The first time was really my fault. Just before leaving for a weeklong business trip, I fiddled with a few things to make sure they were ok. I even called a good reefer friend while waiting at the airport to ask him if he would help out my wife if something should happen. Got off the plane and listened to a voicemail from my buddy saying that my wife had called him about a tank leak. Thought he was busting my balls until I heard the second message from my wife :beat_brick: The buddy showed up and fixed everything for me. Apparently, while messing around, I had accidently knocked the Ca reactor return line out of the sump so it was dumping onto the floor for a good 6-8 hours.

The second incident occurred the week before we were supposed to leave for a week vacation. The union check valve on the return line leaked. Reasons unknown. I replaced it, which was a pain to do. The week after we came back, it leaked again. I just cut it out and replaced it with a union valve for the time being until I have time to change out the return system.

If the leaks had happen inside the house on wood flooring or carpet, I think my wife would have killed and buried me before she threw the tank in the dumpster :bigsmile:

Thanks. As I have stated in another thread, I am not sure if those are RW or not. They grow much faster than the RW I had before. My old ones eventually died off slowly. These were given to me as Nightmares FWIW. No recent FTS yet. It's too messy on the sandbed so I am rather embarrassed to show the whole thing.

Thanks Jesse. The last one I posted actually looks very close to the ones in your avatar. It's not very clear in the pic but the skirts are actually pink.
