Thanks Will! It's so nice in person too. Stuff is starting to grow and color up nicely. Been slammed with work. I'll get some more pics up soon.

Saw that sexy seamless glass rain shower.... I'll say it again I wish you lived in my area. That's exactly what we want to put in our master when we gut it....a guy can dream. I showed the wife and her jaw dropped.... said we'd go in together hide from the kids and never come out lol.

How you battling algae and crap running such high numbers btw?

Ain't gonna lie. Been itching to come back. Keep running into old pics. I miss every piece. I had a hard time letting go of frags. Somehow they were different from the colony. Want to come back on a different note. More to strictly enjoy the hobby. Not constantly sell and buy frags constantly changing the biology of my reef. Not to mention the stress when you start dealing with money and people like bkchem. I have a pretty good wild connect. Next tank might be see how fabulous I can make it with as little money as possible. I'll do my best on that. Might be my next thread.

"More to strictly enjoy the hobby. Not constantly sell and buy frags constantly changing the biology of my reef. "

I'm always messing with my reef also selling colonies changing this and that but I'm trying to stop that. Did I miss a post about dealing with BKCHEM?

What are you waiting for jump back in I didn't even know you were tankless.

I missed the bkchem post too I guess, unless it was my comment about trying to contact them but never hearing back, or multiple social media platforms they post vids on.

It’s certainly easier to love the hobby if you can be content with having some thriving and beautiful corals that your fish and other critters can be healthy living within and feel safe. There are great ones that are super cheap and readily available, like green Slimer, Red Planet, Hawkins, etc - ones that dont make you want to take a sledgehammer to something when they rtn overnight. Not like a $1800 1/2” nub does that might not make it a month.

Not sure myself. Lol. I have a word I use very sparingly, the only word I can think of when I think about BK chem is HATE!!!. Same with Crystal Dynamics. Straight up. If we could deal in person cards would be a lot different.

Some of my favorite pcs were 25 brown wild frags. Turned rainbow and ultra furry. To me a tank of millis and a few spicosa's and 1 inch tenicles 100 gallon 15- 20 different sps and maybe a nice torch and some gonis or something. Full grown corals. Wouldn't mind a pc of splice. That's a solid high end in my mind.

Next tank and stand will be made by me. Realized I have a high end taste without the money to support it. But I do have the ability to create very high end detailed finishes. So as soon as I have the time, I'll start a new build thread.

Going to use this high grade English walnut I've been collecting for the stand.

Someone is coming on a long drive to grab my tonga. Kinda feeling like I would accept 5k for it now. Selling for the space. Think I'd rather have a little clutter.

Talk to everyone soon.

Want revise my word from hate to dislike. World has enough hate. Maybe some have a good relationship with these establishments. But yeah. I know my good friends on here who I'll deal with and definitely remember those that I want to forget. None the less no hate. Gave it some thought and wanted to clarify.
