Happy Friday Dan

Chuck, I've frequently lurked in your thread. You have an amazing story/tank and your donation is one of the most incredible things I've heard. Mad props to you sir.

Snow! Do you often get snow where you are Tahir? I have no concept of weather in England.

 

[roktsintst]

hoodeds!!! no way! id love a pair even if they were both females.

 

[ryshark]

Cirrhilabrus bathyphilus-hooded fairy, I guess that black spec on the dorsal fin was the best hint.... well not counting "little red"

 

[ryshark]

What is the hottest you allow your tank to get up to throughout the year?
You are tempting Sara to get into SPS and you are tempting me to put a screen over my tank to keep jumpers in

Yeah, I've been looking for a while and when the opportunity to grab a pair came up, even though they were both females I just couldn't resist. Hopfully one of them steps up and changes over soon.

Ryan my tank gets up to 81.5 before the MH shuts down. The T-5s are programmed to shut down at 82 but I've never seen them turn off. During the dog days of summer the MHs frequently shut down near the end of the light cycle. Yeah, if your going to keep torpedos (as Sara calls them), you gotta have a net or you'll get carpet surfers.


Sara already has (had) SPS just running into a few problems and her tank is settling down now (Sara jump in here and correct me). I think she is almost ready for a reload

 

[DanW]

Oh and one more thing about keeping the torpedos in make sure you get the 1/4" netting. I first used the 1/2" bird netting from Home Depot and got this result under the MH...fish jerky :sad2:

 

[Dejavu]

Man that sucks Dan. I have gotten away from netting for that very reason.

I have 4 sticks, 4 monti's and my undata is still going strong ... just killed a bunch of sticks over the past 7 months and a boat load of LPS and I'm hoping to get my stability back with the CA Reactor that was just installed and back to my basic Tropic Marin salt. I'm also doing a tank swap/downsize to something more managable with my too many hobbies I do :eek1:
