Mark's 180 Starfire upgrade

[mpoletti]

I only brought in 2 gallons. I think I know what I am doing for lunch.

Mark, I've got some SW made up already, and have a few 5g containers. Shoot me your office address and I'll give you a buzz when I get there.

Also on a side note, I forgot to give you the Snapper when I saw you.

This is the one i referred to as the volcano piece

[tbone28]

can you *blow* off a piece of that volcano over my way

 

[mpoletti]

Thanks for the offer Jeremy. I need to get some carbon as well.

Davey. That is the LE blood red cyphastrea.

 

[eagleONE]

Thanks for the correction. That cyphastrea is a sweet looking piece.

After days of pondering , I have decided to upgrade from my H&S 200-1260 skimmer. I just did the measurements and I might have to move around one of my electrical panels, but it will fit with room to spare :dance:

Mark, is this the skimmer that Brandon @ YR is looking for? You might want to ping him if your gonna sell it.

Also, what does RHCP stand for?

RE tangs: how are they doing? I just introduced two new tangs tonight and have followed everything that has been suggested here. Hopefully all goes well (I have no idea because the tank is covered).

 

[kdblove_99]

RHCP= red hot chili pepper.

Brandon is looking for the smaller version on the skimmer. He has limited space in his sump.

RHCP- Red Hot Chili Pepper monti; same coral as LE season's greeting monti except that I got mine from Eric.

The tangs are good. They are showing th eresidual effects of the beatdown and a few spots of ich, but all in all

Mark - great news with your tangs
What new skimmer are you going with?

 

[bored4long]

I think that RHCP monti is awesome. How fast/slow does it grow?

I would say it is a moderste to slow so far. I also switched tanks so its kind of hard to judge some of the growth rates.

I'm going to guess BK?

Whats wrong with the H&S?

 

[mpoletti]

bigian- don't you already have the baby's breath?

 

[kdblove_99]

Is that the Meteor shower? I love that in my top 5 of to get corals right now. SHerbert is very nice and that bottom one has so much PE you cant even tell what it is:lol:

To rich for my blood. I'm not knocking BK's, but after doing enough research, I decided to go a different route. It sometimes comes down to being a ****ing contest and I would rather spend my money on corals and fish

yeah, I thought thats what it was... for some reason, I thought it could be the Pumpkin Patch Acanthastrea Rotundaflora from Diamonds in the Reef...
