Did you or your girl take those pics? :lol:



Those are some awesome shots.

 

[imcosmokramer]

no, I took them with my camera. She's been busy so she hasn't brought her's over. Love that new bird of paradise you got.

 

[imcosmokramer]

alright, I moved 4 of the 5 frag racks out of my tank, so it is much easier to photograph. There will be new photos up shortly

delete-sorry

 

[imcosmokramer]

sorry, forgot to do it before the MH's were off. So, one more day.

 

[imcosmokramer]

Alright, so after MANY months, I have NO MORE FRAG RACKS IN MY TANK!!!

Here are a few pictures. I'll take more as time goes on.

Not a great FTS, but it'll do for now

Couple of shots of my ricordea garden:

Few Zoas/Palys:

Real nice Sagi. I'm gonna have to swing by again. These pics are great, but pale in comparison to the actual tank.

 

[imcosmokramer]

even I have a tough time taking a good FTS. I'll work on it when I have more time

 

[DEERE G]

Nice shots Sagi ! I def. like the FTS better w/out the frag racks. lol

 

[anaelitz]

[tazzmanian123]

Are those 20k mh bulbs, & what are the T5 bulbs? Looks great.

 

[aquaman05]

Your tank looks great. Im on my way of collecting things for my 75.
You have any new pics of your fuge area ?

Thanks

 

[imcosmokramer]

I'll post pics of my fuge tomorrow if I remember.

 

[aquaman05]

Man I want a reefkeper 2!

anaelitz - I dont' get it....

tazzmanian123 - 2x14k hamilton DE, 2x 54w actinic+, 2x 54 pure actinic

aquaman05 - I like my RK2, except for the fact that one of the channels is stuck "on". It's the heater, so I'm just using the heaters internal controller, but I'd like to have a backup. DA - does not make the RK2 anymore (was phased out a bit to quickly IMO, you should still support such a new product), so they don't sell the strips for it. I'd have to mail it in for them to repair it. And although they will mail it back the same way you send it (i.e. if I overnight it, they will too), I don't want to go 4-5 days without a controller. Other than that, I like it.

Also, I'll get you shots of my sump/fuge. Really simple. Skimmer, chaeto, return (w/gfo).

 

[tazzmanian123]

There was a thread on DA forum here about stuck heater. I think, if I remember correctly, that you have to make 1st channel always on, & then use 2nd as heater controller.

 

[imcosmokramer]

interesting tazz. I will look into it. I think I had my powerheads as 1 and 5, but I could never turn them off, so i made them 4 and 8. I don't have an "always on" item. let me think about it though
