I have one coming from Barr Aquatics. I really don't need it right now b/c of my Kalk reactor. I'll have it by the end of the month.

What's the RK2 ??

It's a controller... Reef Keeper 2 I love the simplicity and controlls just about everything. I highly recommend it.

Thanks E. The open top makes scraping hell of a lot easier. I'm going to TRY to keep the back coraline algae free.

It's not an LPS, but Halcurias sp anemone. It's collected 200+ ft depth. Does not need any light, but can tollerate my 250 watts w/o any problem.

More anemone pics

I don't get the whole PVC bottom thing..... i thought glass aquariums could only be all glass ? .... i didn't know glass could stick to PVC and hold water.

Do you know what's the longest a Glass + PVC aquarium has lasted?

james.. I guess we are talking about the wrong coral.. its the brain look a like. I saw you label it Japanese Anemone above.

 

[naka]

Oops, my bad. I purchased that one as "Japanese Brain coral" It looked wicked from the first day when I received it.

In the cooler acclimating

In the display 30min later
