We're in need of update [emoji16]
Hey jay,what's up bud?:beer:
Sorry for the late reply guys but i was out of town!

Indeed! Been forever.
Spooky Mike where are you??
Lol,that ausie mate really gave me a nickname to stay:-p
Just keeping a distance because of a toxic guy who lurks around here:uzi:
Things are doing good with the tank.Made my routines really simple again and it seems that the tank really like the kiss method:-)
Thanks my dear matt for caring:beer:

yeah mike update time
Heyyyy rayn,hope all is well with you and your tank.Will check on your threads later buddies:beer:

:lmao:
I'll keep that as a motivational quote andrew:lmao:

Mike logged in March 1st so he's still around. MIKE! Come in MIKE!
How are you my dear mark?:beer:
Again,thanks for caring guys and sorry for the late reply!
I appreciate it more than you can imagine:-):-)

I've not uploaded any pics in my photobucket account for a long time but this is the most recent one.
Maybe later in the day i'll make some ''clicks'' and make a relatively descent update:-)
Tank still needs time but i hope it will go the distance and become what i've imagined it to be:-)


:beer:
 
Damn Mike, that looks awesome. I will be waiting, impatiently, for newer pics. :)
Buddy you know i appreciate your and other fellas,kind words,big time:beer:
They mean a lot to me and they give me so much motivation!
I will try to upload now some more pics in my account!

Looking great !!
Thanks arlin:beer:
Work takes a lot of my time now days and your support gives me so much strength when i'm tired:beer:

Looking good Mike! Nice to see you post!
Heyyyy dear friend,i hope you are ok with all the hard time you dealt with:beer:
Really glad to see you post again too bud!

Mike, that's looking fantastic!
We need recent shots!
If you ignore the toxic, I will too! ;)
lol,you guys are so dear to me:beer:
Can't express how much i appreciate our friendship all those years and the courage you give me:thumbsup:
This week was sooo demanding and i didn't manage to upload the pics i wanted.I'll get some relaxing(movie and gaming) time today and tomorrow i'll try to upload some crappy(as usual) pics lol

GLORIOUS :inlove:
Aw mate,you are too kind:beer:
This thing still has a long long way ahead of it and i hope to cover it.All this year i didn't have the growth rate i wanted/expected but i hope during the summer,with temp being a warmer to help towards that direction.
This week i changed all three vortech's in wave mode,something that i've done for the first time and i want to see coral's reaction.
 
I absolutely knew the vision would eventually become a reality, amazing work Mike, stunning my dear friend :)
 
Wow Tank is looking great!!!
Thanks ryan my good buddy:beer:
I really appreciate your kind words and support!

Heyyyyyy my dear friend,really glad to see you again:)
So sorry you broke down the last tank but i'm certain you will make an even better one:beer:
Have you started the smaller one you were talking about?
Thank you so much for your kind words man,tank still has of course soooo much distance ahead of it to cover.Lot's of growth space there:(
Hope it will get there eventually:hmm2:
 
Guys i know this is not the hardcore update you were expecting but work is crazy these days:uhoh2:
And at this moment my other fellas are waiting to make some kills together, in gears of war(xbox thing for the ps&pc dudes:-p )
I swear this thing,along with the tank,makes me feel a bit young:p
So here are some pics and a small vid...as always please don't have great expectations as far as quality goes:beer:
Can you spot the dude'???
This fish guys is sooooo perfect that even his butthole is colored orange:o
''The dude'' broke this frag and it was a perfect opportunity for a close photo!I love this thing.It's a red planet but this was a bit shaded part so it's green is nowhere.Mother colony though has the green in it too!

And here is one vid so my lazy a@s can spare some time from uploading pics...thanks for understanding:D:D
I hope i can upload it as a thumbnail and not a link...still incompetent on this one:wildone:

Mike, very happy to see you posting again! Your tank has grown a LOT!
That first pic looks like it's right out of a natural reef and the colour of that red planett is perfect.
Haven't watched the vid yet... trust me, once I get out of my bed - which currently contains a dog and a daughter- and have a coffee in your hand, I'll be be enjoying a live view of your tank!
 
Love it, Mike. Looking better and better. It's starting to really grow out.
The sand gives the tank more depth and the crazy long overhang branches really give it a natural feel.
What's your bulb combo these days?
 
Awesome pics IMO, showing how grown in everything is getting. Love the red planet, I have yet to achieve that kind of red on a regular basis.

Always happy to see you and your tanks my dear friends:beer:
Yes things have grown a lot but i want them to at least double their size.I have waited so long...but that is what happens when you start with frags.This is something i would never do again bud:fun5:
As someone says...life is too short for frags lol

If i were you i would never get out of that bed:-) it sounds and i'm sure is,so much fun!The small joys in life!!

Love it, Mike. Looking better and better. It's starting to really grow out.

What's your bulb combo these days?
Thanks matt for taking time and watching that vid:beer:
Really glad you like it and appreciate so much your kind words!They mean the world to me!
I had a 8x54w ati light fixture and added a 2x54w glo.So atm i have 10x54w
Combo is 2 AB+,2C+ and 6 blue plus.
When corals reach the desired size i'll probably change it to a bluer combination...which i have no clue if it contains less AB or more blue plus,sacrificing the C+
Adding again some actinics is a thought too but i'ide when the time to change bulbs comes.

Thanks again!!!!

Can't thank you enough mark,your kind words give me so much strength and motivation buddies:beer:
Yeah,RP is my favorite coral these days:inlove:
Can't wait to see it growing to a huge colonie.Sometimes size does matter:p
I'm sure you will get it to look even better man!

H-O-L-Y GUAC-A-MOLEY :inlove: you didn't mention the tank looked that good Mike!! The video really puts into perspective just how well you've done with the scape! :D And what I really love is how good it looks with the two fatties swimming around. Just gorgeous Mike!
