Mark's 180 Starfire upgrade

[DanW]

Mark,

I keep reading and re-reading your thread and staring at all of your pictures as your tank is simply mesmerizing. I can only imagine how good it looks in person and can only hope that mine looks half as good someday. Its tanks like yours that set a high bar and keep me going on all the “reef choirs”. I love the sticks (although Kenny’s pictures pull me to the dark side)!

You better not make another trip to Sac town if you don't want to add any more corals

Thanks Dan. There is no question that I am a SPS guy. I enjoy the diversity of colors and growth patterns from tank to tank. LPS and softies are nice for some, but IMO, a tank is not complete unless it has a few acropoids that complete it

No signs of algae. That is just sick. I need to make a trip up north. I think I spot the Jedi.

Thanks Lam. No algae, but my water is not crystal like yours

Kenny and Jeremy came by yesterday and its always good to entertain friends, but they mentioned that I needed to clean my equipment as it has got pretty bad. I cleaned the eheim for the H&S, vacummed the sump, soaked and cleaned both vortech's and all four tunzes. I forgot how much flow I had in my tank :lol:

Thanks guys

How about a picture addition to the thread in celebration of flow

It's always nice to have friends over and have them point out a cleaning weakness! At least your corals will appreciate it!

Very nice! I hope my mh looks like that!
