Thanks Andy -- as I said, a picture is worth a thousand words. But I hope that doesn't put you out of work (you’re the wordsmith right -- well wordsmith corrector).

Thanks Tony. Hope you're not too close to all those wildfires that Australia is suffering from lately. What with 2 feet of snow in London and wildfires in Australia -- you guys should get together. Reminds me of a joke that my Polish friends use to tell me when I was working in Warsaw back before the wall came down. "We have a trade agreement with Russia -- we send them our coal and they send us their snow". :lol:

Alan, things look like they are progressing..... I hope to get down to see your setup soon. I also hope to go on the next LFS run coming up.... just have to play that one by ear for on call with work.

Great work on your setup!!

It is devastating :eek2: Thank goodness I'm up in Brisbane, Queensland ... The firestorms are around Melbourne about 2,000km to the south. Many of my fellow reefers in the states of Victoria and South Australia have endured an incredible heatwave (45C to +50C) over the past fortnight and now the firestorms.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and their families.

50ºC, that's 122ºF :eek1: :eek1: That's really hot. I spent a summer in Phoenix and the hottest it got was 115ºF. I know that several years ago it got up above 120ºF and the planes couldn't take off from Sky Harbor airport because all of their charts for take off speeds, weights etc., didn't go that high.

I think I'm done with mods as it's where I want it. I find that I have too much time on my hands as I'm fixing stuff that isn't broken. I am going to help Jeff skin his stand so he can tile it. That'll keep me busy for a while.

Thanks Jeff. It already seems like it's my baby.

BTW here's a photo of the small hammerhead that I'm keeping while Jeff sorts out his
BUBBLE PROBLEM

Sorry Jeff you're not getting it back, you know what they say -- 'possession is nine tenths of the law' (the other tenth is a S&W).

 

[plyr58]

Alan, did you order the Net module?

Drew
No I haven't yet. I understand that the 1.10 update is causing problems with lights not turning on and off at the right time so I'm holding off for the moment. Is that what you see?

 

[JRF]

A hear ya Alan, and as a thank you for all your help, you can have that frag ( for real ) !!! All I ask is that when it grows multiple heads, you give me , Frank and Matt a piece ( Frank and Matt have been a big help to me also, so they should have a share in the "wealth" also ) !!

Thanks for your kind offer but I can't accept. I'm too much a beginner to keep a coral. By the time it's ready for a split I will be ready also. Let me know if you're coming by this afternoon to pick up the little fella.

 

[JRF]

Well, ok Alan, but there is really nothing to keeping one of those guys! I will stop by today around 4:45 or so..
Later!

Jeff
How do those things split? I see that they have a single stem, do they split it in two?
I'll be here at 4:30.

 

[new2sw776784]

They just branch out off of that single stem. Like a tree. Hope you dont mind me answering your question. Setup looks great so far.
