My new frag holding area. Still finishing it up. Waiting to see if i can find some black egg crate locally before i decide to buy online. Also need to paint the plumbing parts black with some krylon. Anyone know where they have krylon fusion locally now? Seems like Home Depot doesnt have it anymore.
These two pieces i picked up from Lulio yesterday. Great guy and great tank. One of the more clean tanks and sumps i have seen. Blue tort and strawberry fields monti.
These couple pieces from the swap, already forgot their names.
Got a couple more pieces which are a bit brown at the moment, but i will post more pics shortly.

Ehh, i dont get down to that area of miami much. If someone does the west miami to broward trip often and feels like bringing me up a 24"x24" piece id gladly pay them for it. How much are they going for?
Worst comes to worst ill just spray paint the egg crate i have now with krylon.

Thanks. I needed a staging area for new frags and a quarantine area. I plan on keeping all new frags in here for a week or so after the initial dip instead of dipping and putting directly into my main display. Also will be putting my overflow frags, corals, etc in here which is why i needed a light. So far its been working out great. The drain is a little loud but i will try to install a durso on the drain today after work.

So my skimmer pump scrapped out on me a couple nights ago. Was able to find a new replacement atman pump on ebay for $54 shipped. Im ok with that esp since when i was testng out the pump to try to get it to turn over i got a little shock. I also was able to order a 200 gal box of reef crystals and a fish acclimation kit from from drs foster for $11.98 shipped. ASK ME HOW!
Nitrates and phosphates are a bit higher than i like but ive been hurting for a water change so that should rectify that. I put my phosban reactor online until i get my salt and am able to do a water change.
Got a couple frags from milesofreef. Ill try to post some pics as soon as they open up. Still acclimating after the bayer dip.

Well for whoever went to the frag swap, they got drs foster coupons. I was able to redeem both mine and my wifes on my purchase. :-D that and with free shipping over $49, brought my total to under $12.

Blackthunda77 - Tank looks awesome. I love the fact that your running Radiums over it. The best of the the best. Great job. Keep the pics coming.

Did a long overdue water change today and spruced up the tank.
