DanW's 187 SPS Dominated Reef Journal

Some day down the road, I might just bug/beg for a frag back. Talk about a touchy coral, mine bleached out I think after I added the T5's and never recovered. It has pulled through a lot over the years but just can't seem to deal with this one. Finally lost the last bit of it earlier this week :(

Kenny, I cut around the perimeter of the disc mine is on and made about 8 frags. Problem is that this was yesterday :(

Ill bring you one tomorrow and you can see what happens with it......

LOL.... that's funny!

Well, I wonder if this coral geek guy has any he'd like to part with??? I'd like a piece o' that thar key lime mango sherbert if it's available???
Ahh, touchy subject. :sad1:
 
Speaking of skimmers, when are we going to see some action pics of the beast?
Here you go Brian...yes this thing is a beast. Nice coffee colored skimmate. Wifey hates when I empty this thing.

Now THAT'S what I'm talking about man! That's some tasty looking sludge there mate!

My wife and everyone else in the house cannot STAND it when I empty the collection cup. It grosses them all everyone out! Me included... it's quite putrid and that's an understatement, lol!

Nice pick up though Dan, very nice!
 
Well had a great time at CFM today. Nice to see a bunch of Reefers in person for a change. Seemed to be nice constant traffic and I think that there was more quality stuff there then ever before. Ended up picking up like 10 frags for myself and my son got 3 for his nano as well as a sweet Nemateleotris helfrichi. Some random pictures:

Looks like it was a ton of fun! Now if I could just convince my wife that the kids would have just as much fun there as at Disney :rolleyes:.
 
Very nice Dan. Its always nice to see "hobbyists" with banners :lol:

I see a few familiar faces in your photo; so...what'cha get :D

It was fun but hard on the wallet. Not only did I spend (although not that much) I had to bribe my wife and daughter by dropping them off at the outlet mall about 2 miles away. I'm pretty sure they spent way more than my son and me. Come on out for the next swap Brian...D-land is only a few minutes away...RAP will be here soon :lolspin:

Yeah, come to think of it, that's a little strange. Although I'd say it was 50/50 hobbyist vs. businesses. It was nice to see people in person for a change as most communication is via RC. I'll try to get a photo of the frag rack soon. I'm not even sure that I have spots for them all even after removing 2 large and 1 small colonies :fun5:

While I would love to head to Cal for a week, my wife is pretty set on going to Disney World in Fla. On the bright side my best friend runs the Sea Turtle Hospital down there and I plan to spend another week down with him rescuing sea turtles. Cal will be the next trip.

Disneyworld is running some great specials right now. A trip working with turtles sounds amazing :)
