Arlin's 120

This is gonna be great! Just be sure to QT all acros from now on. We dont want to repeat AEFW infesting our displays ever again-thats for both of us! :facepalm:
 
That's awesome man. Royal Blue LED's add a much needed spike to the overall spectrum when used with T5's. I know you like your GE 6.5K's; your combo along with the Reefbrites should produce some stunning SPS colours.

I think I am free of AEFW's; and without any coral loss too. Very happy. I picked up a Monti Setosa and a small mari colony (was free from ym LFS).

Sounds great! Such devastating little creatures! I still can't believe they can do so much damage in such little time.

Happy to read that afernandes:)
Can't wait to see your new gems:)

Thanks! I though cycling a tank was hard! This was much much harder for a stick o'holic!

Sure will! :uzi::uzi: I got me 3 bottles of bayer , magnifying glass , super bright led flash light! And assortment of basters to fight the war! Also going to only buy corals from trust worthy reefers and aquaculture pieces to limit chances .

I'm so in love with leds! But sometimes I miss it because I fallasleep on the couch :headwally:
 
My first piece :D



I have a few more pieces Ive picked up but I'm going to let them settle down alittle more beforeI I post :)
 
An excellent (re) start! I'm happy and gratefull that you are staying in the hobby, the majority of aquarists throw in the towel:(. It is through perserverence that we grow this hobby and help make it less likely that others will have to bear the same pain as us. Just think, now you can stock your tank with a discriminating eye. If I had mine to do over a lot of impulse buys would not be there...
 
Looking good bro. Like mentioned, have an eye for placement of ONLY high end/nice pieces... No average pieces in the tank. :lol:

yes! my wife tells me all the time you really really love this fish tank. i am being very picky an choosy i have a list of pieces i want. so stick around ;)

if you don't mind sharing from which LFS you get such good corals, Love you sunburst. Thanks

i don't have a specific store that i use, i mostly get pieces from people i know and some collectors around my area. Kenny from pieces of the ocean(poto) has allot of nice things and pets wearhouse in copaige ny usually has nice stuff. thanKs :fish2:

It's ok, i guess it was time for me to learn.
Every experience is valuable positive or negative, now I know what to look for what to avoid. I have a few pieces in qt for about 2-3 week now, I'm going to let settle in the tank then snap some pictures :D

I played with the aquascape alittle , I think I looks much better than before
I still think it looks bare but it's ok when corals start growing and encrusting it will look fine .

I'm glad you say that. Because that is exactly how I feel. I've killed many corals due to stupidity/being unaware/lack of experience. However, I have learnt a lot through those experiences.

So long as we dont give up and learn from our trials, then it aint so bad. :)

I hope you will be having the following in your highend list of acros:

Oregon Tort
ORA Red Planet
Icefire Echinata
ORA Hawkins Echinata
ORA Pearlberry
20K or 30K Lokani
SSC
Pink Lemonade
Garf Purple Bonsai
Tierra Del Fuego
Tyree Blue Matrix
Setosa
Aqua SD Rainbow Milli
RMF Diablo Milli

+ Some of the newer ones :lol: I like the old goldies. :D

Congrats on the cute little frag. :D The coral garden looks good.
