[Space heater]

WOW! That is one of the most beautiful photosets I've ever seen. Amazing

 

[MrSandman]

Really Nice. Now why do you think your reef is about to go south?

 

[rovster]

What's your secret!?!?!?!? Awesome

 

[cnewsome]

Very nice, great colors!!

 

[alten78]

THIS, this is what I strive for!

 

[Dapg8gt]

Nice shots, the tank is looking killer and I do know that feeling..... It sucks

 

[sahin]

Tank is looking as good as ever. How do you feel about the swap to led from halides? Any difference in the sps?

 

[tfp]

wish I knew why I feel its about to turn but I don't .

sahin, I'd say the sps took about 5 months to adjust to them. growth kind of slowed and I lost a few but can't attribute it directly to the led's. now its picking back up.

 

[sahin]

wish I knew why I feel its about to turn but I don't .

Just be extra careful for a while...it sounds crazy but I just had a feeling I'd get AEFW in my tank a while back...so whilst resetting my tank I decided to peg my corals rather than plant them directly onto the rocks...I did it in case I got AEFW's-would be easy to remove and dip...sure enough just a month later found AEFW in my tank...

If going away on a weekend or something...TRIPLE check everything is ok and dont change or do anything out of ordinary...:hmm2:

 

[DivingTheWorld]

You ever get that weird feelin that things are about to go south with your reef? Call it a vision, premonition, intuition, clairvoyance, Nostradamus, etc. but i got that bad feelin.

Don't say such things. I want some more frags next time you're in town!

 

[mhucasey]

The tank looks amazing, but I know that feeling. It is weird when you walk by the tank and then do a double-take knowing immediately something is wrong. It is a sign that you are in tune with the tank so hopefully it will lead to you catching something before a true tragedy occurs!

 

[westreef]

Tim, don't scare me. I still need many frags from you.

Very nice pics but not as good as in person.

 

[thereeferr]

Your tank makes me want to go tear mine apart and go barebottom.

 

[mhucasey]

Your tank makes me want to go tear mine apart and go barebottom.

Every time I hear this sentiment my inner 12 year old giggles. Every.Single.Time.

 

[jayball]

I love the contrast between the Orange Setosa and the Oregon Tort, It makes them really stand out. Fantastic looking tank.

 

[tfp]

thanks for the feedback everyone. much appreciated. bay area folks...next up is the Santa Clara Convention Center on February 14th. ugh...a 3 dayer
