Yeah, we've had a lot of rain lately, and the house is shifting on its slab. I'm not happy about it, the cracks that have formed in the sheetrock, the gaps that have appeared, the tile that has separated, nor the doors that don't function properly.

Last time I had a guy out here for foundation repair, the estimate came in at $15,000. I had to pass on that one. I'm hoping things will get back to normal soon.

Oh man what a bummer. Hopefully when things dry out it will normalize somewhat. In any event you still have a killer reef to look at.

That fungia is flat out stunning. The colours are unbelievable!

 

[melev]

It was taken pretty much under actinics only. The MH (10,000K) was on 5' away from that spot, on the opposite end of the tank.

So yes, it is unbelievable.

Wow, that really does put things into perspective... still bigger then all my stuff though . How long have you had it...

We will need a progression shot of the tank with the new split... just FYI

 

[melev]

The frag from Pete? More than a year. It just took off from that spot, as it loves the light. December 07 it was a single twig on a magnet.

 

[Kellsindell]

Wow, i can't wait for my corals to look like that...
Great job marc!

All that growth in only a year? That gives me hope that my tank will fill in nicely before 2020.

That requires that you set up a tank and leave it running a little longer than your last tank. :lol:

Oh - so that's the secret. I don't know how much bigger I can get than 700g in this space. There wasn't too much room left to get anything wider through the window!

I'll help that out without anything meaningful to say....

Marc, how's the tank? Still at 0 NO3?

 

[melev]

I tested two days ago, and it was 0 ppm. So today I fed the tank like crazy.

 

[spleen93]

woohoo, feeding time in Marc's tank!

Where's the split??
