Thanks Sang. So, what type of SLR are you going to get?

The next time you come to town, you can check out my Nikon set up. Oh wait, you'll come to town, but you are always too busy to come see my tank. That is the real reason I set up a new tank. I should call it Sang's chum line

Yeah, I really got to stop by next time. I hear there are a few echino frags waiting for me.

haha, see Sang, I got your back! I blamed the nasty pic on the environment, and not the operator

Yes, I distinctly remember there being a 7.0 quake while I was taking the pic. I got rid of those eyesore pumps long ago. Long live Vortech!

Dude, I show you love, and you call my "5200gph, can-a-Vortech-match-that-Tunze" an eyesore?? Sure, long live Vortechs!...they live while they stay stuck to the glass. Once they fall off their magnet, they don't live very well :lol:

 

[Maximus]

Mine have never fallen off. Get with the times dude. Tunze=product from the past. Vortech=product of the future.

The difference between Sang and me using vortech's instead of large Tunze streams, is that we will need room for coral. :lol:

OUCH OUCH!!! now it's on bruddahs!!

Well, if you guys would share some of those pretty frags wid me, and not just with each other, I may need to make the move!

I know, that was kind of rough; my bad. My spirits are feeling better and I still need to get my reactor online and my radiums screwed in.

So Terry, when are you coming to Sac? Hitch a ride with Sang. Or you can go to Atlantis and pick up my magnificent foxface and deliver it for me.

 

[tbone28]

I know you're playin! When is Sang comin up? I'll actually be in South Sac area either in May or June for work. how close is east sac? When is your foxface gonna be there at atlantis?

 

[Maximus]

I'm not playing. I think I can fit my car in one of those streams.

South Sac is less than 10 mins away. That is where exotic is located as well.

Ming is shipping some goodies out on Monday for me. He has a 3.5" magnificent foxface in stock. I called him on Friday and he said it was healthy and eating. Ha Ha Ha...my fishlist is coming to fruition :lol:

Ok, I need to go frag/save some corals

I hope that people had a good Easter.

I made a little progress today. I finally progammed my wavy seas. I am still getting micro bubbles in my display. I think it could be because my water was a little low as I have not hooked up my level controller so my sump had some crashing going on. I'll tune that in the future.

I also got my radiums and blue waves all hooked up. I am very happy

War Coral- no macro needed tonight

Canyon shot- Quickly becoming my favorite

Nice! Love the new wrasses, and the canyon is awesome, especially since we can see it now!:lol:

Looks like all the hardwork is paying off Mark. GREAT JOB BUDDY!!!

I really like the rockwork and the new fish!!!!

I hooked up my own pair of Vortechs the other day before leaving town, if you havn't played with yours yet, they are even more fun with two or more!!!

I think I will need to come buy and check this sucker out this week, those colors are freakin' amazing!!!

I guess I need to start thinking about my new cube again to keep up with you eh?

 

[hyperlink17]

Your tank is SWEET!!! And if u have any problems just PBITAWA

 

[Ian]

Looks great Mark!!

 

[jtarmitage]

I'd show you the Welcome banner Hyperlink, but have no idea how. For your first post, you've chosen a great thread. Mark's got great corals, and, believe it or not, is a great guy to boot!:lol:

 

[mpoletti]

Thanks guys.

Doug- I am stuck on randon mode on the two vortechs (purple), I also have the two 6055's on a controller and both returns are on speed 3 on my wavy seas. These things are really cool.


Jeremy, Thanks for the kinds words. I can not thank you enough for the help over the last few weeks. How are the zoa frags and blood red cyphastrea doing? I have that "tip jar" rock for you as well.

Thanks Ian. I just filled the AquaC reactor and this thing is a beast. I used a 3 cups of zeoMag, a full bag of koraliin media and a bottle of the Elos media as well. (thanks Jason and Greg)

Thanks Hyperlink and Welcome to RC. Thanks for stopping by on my tank build.
