Hey Sang, welcome back.. set up looking nice. any frags yet?

Thanks! Not much yet. I added a few acans and a couple fish (midas blenny, sunrise dottyback). I'm trying to take things slowly this time around so I don't get burnt out.

 

[drdoolittle]

I know the feeling.. i been trying to start my new set up for almost 6 months now...

are you sticking on BB or will adding some sand? (my biggest debate)

 

[Maximus]

I'm leaving it bb for now. I love how easy it is to siphon all the detritus. What's the new setup going to be? How's Jesus doing? Have you seen him lately?

 

[drdoolittle]

I got a Lee Mar, 64x32x22 with a 42" stand. I want it to be SPS tank, like my previous set up. So, it will have lots of flow. Being so shallow, im worried about sand storm.

I seen Jesus a few weeks ago when he helped me lift my tank into the stand. He is starting a Lee Mar as well. Almost the same dimensions..but just like me, he's taking his time on it.

You should see Scotts acan tank.. eye poppin crazy...

 

[Maximus]

Well, I just ordered some bowerbanki frags, a frag of the Strawberry Shortcake acro and Papa Smurf acro from Unique Corals. I hope they look good! Have any of you seen or have either of the acros?

 

[DanW]

I received a Strawberry Shortcake frag from Unique Corals on 2/24. It was about 1 1/2" - 2" and came in a little cold and was on the brown side. It's now starting to color up and showing the pink coralites and green/jade body. I've got it about 7" - 8" under the water line ~ 4" - 5" off center of a 250w MH and seems to be doing well.

 

[Maximus]

Thanks Dan. Mine sounds similar to yours. It came in a bit brown w/pink coralites. Mine is definitely starting to lighten up and the pink is turning more intense.

How bout some tank pics, Sang? :wavehand:

 

[Maximus]

Hey dude. I vowed no more pics until I get a DSLR camera. I need to start researching. Any ideas on a nice dslr camera? I don't need a super high end one.

If you've seen the pics I've posted of my tank, you will realize I have absolutely no knowledge about cameras or taking pics :lmao: We need Mark in here!

[ianiwane]

Sang what brand slr are you leaning to? What is you budget?

 

[Maximus]

Probably either Canon or Nikon. Budget, hmm, $500-$800?

 

[ianiwane]

500-800 with an all purpose and macro lens? or 500-800 for body plus lenses?

 

[Backinthegame]

We want Pics Sang! We want Pics!
How you been man?

 

[Maximus]

Body only. I know that a good macro lens will add another $200-$300 on top of that.

Hey Kevin, Edward is getting there with his tank setup. It should be another 2-3 weeks until it is running. How's your new tank coming along?
