Marc great FTS, hows the Copperband? is he eating ok. i like how the chromis is schooling.

Bart- The CBB is doing just fine. They are all eating their recipe food. The PBT got hit the roughest, but he is eating and he looks much better today. I lost a two chomis' yesterday, one to a vortech and one to the overflow. I need to get some minor kinks ironed out still

Mark, that reactor looks reeaal heavy now!!

 

[FunGuy]

Sweet! Looking good Mark!

Tank looks great, love the aquascape
I also use the mesh over 1 of my tanks, if the holes are to large just double the mesh up. For the over flows I use a piece of black gutter guard....so far so good
Rhomboids look great

Thanks Herman and Stacie.

BTW Stacie, you just had to change your avatar. You are going to put Sand into a deep depression :lol: Love the interuptus'; Captive bred or wild?

LOL, I think you need a larger tank. It is full already!

 

[mpoletti]

I already mentioned "things I'd do different on the next tank" to Amanda and she actually said that I should keep a list and file it away; That way I would not forget them. I love my wife.:love1: I mean c'mon, the house is a mess, there is stuff everywhere, I have been really busy and she said I should keep a list :rollface:

lol, I was thinking the same thing, Sang, but didn't want to stress out Mark anymore than he already is. You've got a lot of coral, Mark! Want me to help you grow em out?

Didn't I tell you on page 1 somewhere to go at least 30" deep on your tank?

I said that first! 30-36" would have been ideal.

Wait until you guys see the tank before you start this. I actually only used 25lbs ov live rock. The rest is all corals :lol:

I think I will have a couple pieces for you Terry

I, for the life of me, couldn't figure out how to change my Avatar on this message board. Now that I have I am just making up for lost time
They are captive breed. I always said they were my dream fish & after I got them I wouldn't want any other fish. I now have 3 more dream fish I want.
Kinda like when getting corals. I always find myself saying....ok this is the last one, ok just one more, ok I swear this is the last one. I have been saying that for 2 years now.

What happened to all the rocks?

You can't keep a good man down. The tank looks incredible Mark. Based on the FTSs, who'da thunk you had any issues at all?

When I posting it, I knew tbone would jump hook, line, and sinker

Emma dragged me out to OSH this morning. In between the backyardigans, she said "Da-da", I might of misintrepeted her. I thought she said lets go get some gutter guard and refill thr CO2 tank.

Over flow

What a snug fit. I still am working on my spaghetti mess

 

[tbone28]

ahem, how do you guys know I wasn't playing along?
