Mark's 180 Starfire upgrade

[tbone28]

Forgive me as I like the look of my tank. Why don't you post a picture of yours and I will post a picture of mine :hammer:

I never said I moved on to T5's for a better look. I think MH provide a beautiful tank. However, the monopoly they call PG&E made my decision to move over to T5's an easy one...less wattage, no chiller...smaller bill

Did I hit a sensitive spot???

lol was it my old regal?

Yep:hmm1:

Nope, My bill averages around $300 a month year around for both tanks :idea: BTW, you looking for any frags :lol:

I look at this hobby as "if you are going to do it, then do it;"... :thumbsup:

I wish my bill was only $300. The rates must be a lot better in SAC. My average bill now runs 350. My average bills on the old tank ran in the 500+ range, and that's with almost non-existent AC usage during the summer.

I guess I am not as fanatical about this hobby as many of you are, but then again you probably already know that.

Does it help that I run my extension cords from the little old lady two houses down :lolspin:

I started writing on the bottom of my discs again to help keep similar pieces identified

I need to start doing that again myself. Trying to figure out the Jayda from the Monster Mash and one other similar looking one I can't remember the name of

Put those two in lower light. The one that stays the brighter with blue undertones is the MM :thumbsup:

I have no money for frags. I'm saving up for halides

 

[Iwishihadgills]

At least you won't have to keep buying new refugium lights (cough...ATI...cough)

 

[mpoletti]

That sucks. sorry

No problem, The corals have already healed and it will be going to its new fowlr home today

I guess I made a bad decision about adding this piece during my rescape

Thanks Chris, That one is the monster mash. Now you know why I had to remove the regal :fish1:

Dude...my bank account is going to be very light once my 180 reef is up...and you are going to have a nice PP account balance

They are on those reef shelves on the back wall, so they are in lower light. The 3rd one I could not think of was the Bazooka Joe.

Why? Looks like a great piece to me. Is the color off from when you added?

Yep, you can say that; some of it has turned white :lol:
