Thank you very much. The coral in the middle of the tank that you are talking about is the EJMTM so I guess it would be a true undata I do not have any close ups of any one my corals these days. I should of taken a picture of it before I got out the dremmel this morning :eek2:

WOW! I guess you're right . It looks great and has some serious size to it, very nice!!

Ya those lights are too big, I still want to make the switch but just will get the smaller ones.

Thanks Doug. I am glad you were able to come by to see the tank and take some of those "extras" off of my hands :lol:

Beautiful tank man!!!

Starting to look like the old tank. Good job Mark. QT looks great.

I was starting to notice that a lot of older, aged rocks have a red, fuzz on them. Do you know what this is? Doesn't look like corraline, but maybe some other type of beneficial algae.

Thanks Chris. I am very curious to see what the tank looks like a couple months down the road

As for the algae, I am not sure what type of turf algae it is. I have always had it in my last three tanks. It does flake off much like thick corraline, but I do see my foxface and tands munch on it.

Thanks Nick.

In continuation with our conversation in Ed's thread, I am still dosing Vodka as my carbon source with biodigest and bioptim. I still need to pick up some decent AA's but with my feeding regiments, I thinkn I will be good for awhile I am still at .07 PO4 as I have not decided to increase the vodka dosing. I am still at 12ml for my system.

I have been thinking of getting a skinny reactor in placing it in my return section, but when I start looking into it, I get too lazy and just go look at my tank :lol:

I think I added 4 small frags, but that was it. I am running out of "prime real estate" for some of my corals My frag tank is looking pretty full these days.

That reminds me........

I was thinking of doing a group buy for this super quick fragging tool I saw.........you want one?

They say it permantly mounts to the inside of the tank with something called a reversable rotational direction switch bracket made by Armstrong and Pull Inc.

That reminds me of the acro I dropped on the floor last night and then stepped on it when I was looking for around for it

Try having blurry vision and dropping your last pair of contact lenses on the floor. Now thats a kick in the pants!!!

Its like playing Marco Polo with Helen Keller!!!
