Here's a few shots.

Here's the new shots although I'm sure there will be a lot of rearranging and I think I need a bigger tank!

very nice Roy

GET THAT MILLE! It fell on the zooooooooooos

 

[DrBDC]

I did! It's going to get some aquamend.

 

[trottman]

That is a lot of sand

 

[DrBDC]

Yes it is! Would have liked for about 60lbs more though.

 

[JxMetal]

What's aquamend? :lol:

My corals fall on each other all the time. :lol:

 

[JxMetal]

Nevermind, I'm challenged.

I used aquamend tonight for attaching a couple corals.

But for some reason it wasn't sticking to my rocks.......

 

[pewter_jean]

You made me proud. I knew it got a good home.
It looks great

 

[DrBDC]

In those pics there are 3 fallen corals. I used a couple tubes of aquamend tonight.

 

[latazyo]

that clam in the last pic looks like it has AIDS

you better give the clam to me before your whole tank dies off

 

[DrBDC]

Thanks Rena.

:lol: Leighton. Not.

Jx, it sucks compared to some. I actually like that long tube of the marineland brand it seems to stick easier and cover with coralline faster. It's really not much more expensive since it's 2X as long of tube and only about 1 buck more than what 2 sticks of aquamend cost. I think the aquamend was about 4 bucks a stick and I think I paid 9 last time at MS for the marineland. But close enough in price I'm buying that next time but I have 2 more sticks of the aquamend to use up first.

JX, the aquamend is really tough to get used to

you really have to use a lot and push it in hard...you need the stuff to get into all of the little pores on the rocks and then when it hardens its pretty good hold that is semi-permanent (if you pull really hard you can usually unattach it)

but you really need to use a butt load of the stuff to get it to work right
