Mark's 180 Starfire upgrade

[Chrisrush]

So Mark, can I give you my credit card and you do some coral shopping for me? Kinda like what my wife does with clothes? We don't' get those same corals here in the middle of the US, unless one of you West coast boys comes over.

I enjoyed reading the last page. It gave me a good laugh.

Mark, what is that chalice you have?

That was the hybrid. It was number 2 on my list

Sure, no problem. I can provide coral consulting for those who are interested

I have seen some great corals out your way, besides, there is mail delivered anywhere in the US

Do you have a deck of cards with all the corals that you want on it? Was this your King of Spades?

True, but sometimes having someone pick them out for you in person helps out a ton.

I have a very good mental rolodex. I would not want these cards to fall into the wrong hands :lol2:

If that was number two, now I really want to know whats number one! :lol:



The more I look at the BGM, the more I want it. I saw Tim's chalice he posted and I was really tempted to pick it up. I think I want to replace my aspera first.... eh, I still have a long way to go to finish my list.



You're almost at the end bud.

 

[mpoletti]

Jay, if I did not already have it, I would of snatched that one up

 

[eagleONE]

The one he posted was the tyree watermelon. Did I miss anything?

 

[eagleONE]

wait a minute...

if you already have the bgm and hybrid is your number two...monster mash? wildfire?

I know you already have OG ME, MH.... ah forget, I'm not going to go all sherlock holmes your list.


Spill it mark! haha :lol:

 

[mpoletti]

Nope.... :lol2:

I don't have the BGM, its laid out in a trade in th enear future for a piece of the EJMTM

The monster mash is on the list, but probably because of its sentimental value.

40 days and 40 nights :lol2:

Its been a long 40 days and I know that I am not out of the woods, but I sure do feel that this has been worth it. Even when I look at the tank now and there are no corals in the tank, I believe that I have done everything possible to fight the good fight.

I do have another pair of goodies coming in tomorrow and some new supplements coming in on Friday. Stay tuned as the nikon is getting a good charge.

I wonder what the over/under will be on tubes of IC gel?

 

[eagleONE]

Whatcha getting... huh huh. :lol:

 

[Dejavu]

Glad to hear that its been worth it. I still look back and think that was one of the hardest thing I have done in this hobby, but was worth every min. that I put into it.

Thanks Brian. I built and assembled this tank to house some of the great corals that we can collect in our hobby. Myaybe this whole experiece is what I needed to slow down a bit. It has allowed me to make some hard decisions of what corals I really like. I think I will have a whole new standard for if a coral is going into the tank or not.

Got mine today.

 

[mpoletti]

I am glad to hear that Mark. I have been too busy with work. Luckily John said he would give me a deal since I planning on buying 12-15 tubes and I bring him some corals from time to time

 

[pookstreet]

Mark, how do you like the 6105's so far? How did you manage to get them anyways? I've been trying for get a pair but have had no luck.
