[lowendmelody]

I'd like to see more too ... very nice...

I'll get some more FTS's soon, unfortunately we did some serious fragging tonight so it's not too pretty right now...

I did jump in and clear off the front and this time pics were taken. LOL!

 

[calvin415]

I did take some Top Down Shots of the Idaho Grape before fragging... Here's those shots:

For kicks, here's some other pics I took tonight... Not as good IMO, but I'm working on getting better.

No good pics of the bulkheads, I found a guy in Utah that had them and he got them from his store in Salt Lake... I called his LFS and they mailed me them directly. He said he's the only one he knows of that carries them. I even tried pool/spa places and they don't carry a decent one that will work for an aquarium. I'll try to get a pic of them when I'm at my Dad's again, or we'll hook up and you can see them in person.

Hey Eric, I just found this thread, looks like the spa nozzles turned out nice.

My 225g is about 11 months older than yours now and we have simular equipment. 2 darts and nice skimmers, ect.

Here is a pic of mine now, first added water june of 06

Eric, you think you might have skin cancer after being baked under the 1K's?? LOL I bet it was a bit hot under there!!
those shots of the grape look great, any frags left?? I'd like to buy one or 2

 

[calvin415]

LOL! Actually I just moved the lights out of the way since they are on the rails. Not too bad. I've got lots of frags left if you're interested, just let me know when/if you want to come over and take a look at what's left.

Very nice!!! Is that a crosshatch!? I'm so jealous of the Regal!

 

[bradleyj]

Yep, I've had her for over 2 yrs now. Just about 6 inches long now, she's only grown maybe an inch since I bought her.
The regal angel I've had for 17 months now, He was great for the first 8 months but then aquired a taste for scolymias and acans, so now I keep the acans in my other tank and the scolymias were gone in 3 weeks. Oh well, hes to nice of a fish to give up, I'll just go without scolies.

 

[calvin415]

Very, Very, Nice!!!

I ended up getting a chunk of idaho from tim today, it fell off in the bag he was hauling a large colony of IG up to aquamart in so I scooped it up Tim style

 

[calvin415]

Very cool, does AM take frags in??? I still have tons of IG to do something with...

 

[Huhhhhh]

Eric talk to a Bill up there at AM he wanted my IG so bad and I told him you were looking to dump a big one also. I told him I'd send you his way.

 

[Rocmtnreef]

Eric put me down for and IG frag if you have any left.

 

[Huhhhhh]

Shannon if Eric doesn't have any left I have a couple frag's of mine ready to go.

 

[calvin415]

Take your pick Shannon. I have plenty as well, but obviously it's not at my house...

Tim, I emailed IG and never got a response so I guess they're not interested...

 

[BLUEMANDJ]

Nice tank.

The frags you gave me are doing great.

 

[calvin415]

Thanks Chris! Glad to hear it!!!
