That looks like a piece of my old Cap, I still have some in my current tank and the birds nest too. But it has been passed around so much its hard to tell. Tanks looking great Bart.

I got those from Jack back in the day, Bill. About a year before you popped your head into MTRC.

I hope you have your floor joist perpendicular to the tank. That is going to be alot of weight.

 

[Pickupman66]

Bart, remind me to get a chunk of them next time I come visit.

I was Reef Keeping long before I posted on RC and when Angela came to my house with several hundred frags to baby sit for a few years I got directly in the loop from Dave, Chris,And CTVol Randy..as that's where she was getting all her frags. FYI

I know you've been at it for a long time. I'm just saying its unlikely that coral was from you, but it definitely could be. To my knowledge, though, it didn't come from Angela.

I think I have the same purple rim cap that came from pickupman's old tank -

 

[orthokardia]

quick update-

also i just received a nextreef SMR-1 XL so i can up my EB. My PO4 is setting at 0.025-0.040 with 0 nitrates on Salifert, but i am still getting film on the glass every 2 days. i also should be getting the second lumenbright so i will have matching pendants.

 

[ocd_mariner]

Thats looking really good.

Also, can't believe I missed the brandons-hair-looks-like-a-birdsnest joke. Awesome

 

[Pickupman66]

Thanks Bill, but I will be headed to Texas for my Brother's wedding....

Nice bart. Can we get some closeup pic of some corals.

 

[orthokardia]

close ups r the problem. if my camera is set to auto then i can focus but the WB is messed up. in manual i can get the WB a little better, but the focus is not good.
