The Undecided Reef

LILBUDDHA · Jun 17, 2015

Not really going to get into the close up pic's yet . I wanted to share a few though .

I am proud I was able to get some nice frags for the DT .

I am very happy that I was able to get this leather coral . No it's not a Tyree ..
If it grow's as slow as molasses being poured on a cold winter day then I know I didn't get duped ..
The rubber band is making it split into two . It will not stay glued to the plug .

CB"s pic not mine as it was sold to me .

My frag today under 1 actnic n blue t5's

Thanks for following along . I almost threw in the towel on posting on the thread .
I will share a few .. Not sure on the color though . How about this blurry pic . If I can figure out flickr on posting an image I think they will look better .

I told myself no sticks yet but this was a freebie from a local hobbyist .
I will mount it horizontal when it goes in the DT . Tequila Sunrise Z's in the back ground .
No more coral pic's for now .

Thanks ..
I guess the cat is sorta out of the bag. All my buddies hate it since I love to be aloof on some stuff .
I put the brakes on collecting items since the QT is kinda full imho .

That setosa should be a great addition. You can never put the breaks on collecting coral..Lol!

I know right .
To identify what I have shared so far .
I gotta give my hat's off to Rich N. He really did me some justice on some nice additions .
Sometimes he gets a bad rap but I have no issues buying from him . If something is wrong he always does his best to make me happy . I am sure he does that with all of his frags.

Not much to update. Still a waiting game on a few other items .
The 40 looks pretty good this morning .
Clarity is spot on where I want it .
Added some more ammonia chloride.

I want to say "Happy Father's Day " .
Since the corals are cooking n the QT . I also like to cook other things .
The old gas grill was donated about a month ago . A economical smoker (work anniversary gift ) I used off n on that worked fine .
I got an upgrade ..for Father's day ..

What the old Meco could do .

Finished BBQ .

The upgrade under a grill cover .

Kamado Akorn Kooker ..

Can't wait to eat some Korean BBQ Short Ribs tonight .

More equipment got unpacked today . Like I stated earlier the ATI led PM may collect dust until later .
I am thinking of setting the QT tank beside the Nuvo 40 and use the PM led to light both tanks .
I am unsure on spillage of the light or where the pucks might align over the tanks.
One of the units is going to a good buddy Ecureefer . He has helped me so much since I relocated back from Mass, It was nice to be able to do something for him for a change of pace . Also a thanks to PaulC & MB for getting these here safely here to NC .

It's called Galbi .. It's always beef and is the same cut Hawaiian ribs .

I played with the LG-g4 camera a little yesterday . Just can't quite get the yellow to come out in the camera . I can assure you its a yellow hammer . Its yellow under t5's or leds . I may have to visit the photo forum on settings to try .

Attempted an upload but don't think it did any good .
