Perfect way to spend a Sunday, I'd say. ;-)

 

[Megabite]

LOL, thanks all and I have to agree that it was an enjoyable Sunday.

Here are a few pics I took yesterday after the tank cleared up some.

New inhabitant.

A closer look.

The lens on one of my JBJ Vipers cracked and need replacement. I called JBJ to order one and was told that it was on back order. I asked how long it would be and was told, "try back in a month or so". I was really surprised at the lack of care from such a reputable company.

What do you do when a fish dies?

Here's a suggestion:

Made a short vid of the shallow tank. Sorry for the jumpiness of the video, I guess I had too much coffee. Check it out.

Picked up a cool chalice in auction at the 1st annual South Eastern Coral Farmers Market. I'll take a few pictures as it settles in my tank. Here's a their stock picture.

Orlando-Is that a cowfish? And if so, which store did you get it from, and how is it doing for you? Thanks

Yes it it. I got it at Ocean Direct. It's doing great and eats like a PIG. It doesn't bother anything and follows me around even when my hands are in the tank. Pretty curious fish.

Some pictures I took yesterday.

looking awsome the corals colors really look great under that light.

Well, I took all the tanks down and moved to Kansas. I will miss all the livestock and the hobby but will start again here in the future.

I kept all the equipment but sold the tanks and livestock. Getting a new start will be fun. Looking to do a 300 gallon.

Im sad that you had to take down the system, it is a huge motivator to see such a wonderful tank. Sounds like youll be back as soon as you can, with an even bigger project. Best of luck, will keep an eye out for your next thread!!

 

[Megabite]

Thanks Fig. I really looking forward to starting agian after I settle in at my new place. I love the build part of the hobby.

I'm pretty sure that info is a few pages back, but I'm pretty sure it was a 4 X 54W 48" Nova Extreme with a couple of Actinic + bulbs and a couple of Aqua Blue + bulbs. There was also a 150W HQI Viper on it.

At one time I had it with 2 150W Viper's with 20K bulbs.
