See, that's your problem. You asked me, of all people.

Looking good, Kenny! Love the amount of open space - lots of places for fish to swim and corals to grow. :thumbsup:

 

[pookstreet]

Thanks. If you have some time during your RAP trip, you are more than welcome to come for a visit.

 

[spleen93]

Thanks Kenny. If the RAP SCMAS tank tour ever comes to fruition, I'd also love to be part of that.

 

[pookstreet]

Even if it doesn't, I'll be happy to give you a personal tour :lol:


Some updated pix of my prop tank.

Any time for a fellow reefer.


Thanks and good eye Mark :lol: I've already traded 3 frags away. One of them went to Hugo. I wonder what I should ask for back :smokin:

Wow Kenny,I'm going to have to
pay you a visit soon!..Congrats on
the LE bro,its bout time

 

[pookstreet]

Thanks Henry. Come on down anytime. Just give me a heads up and I'll have a frag ready for you.

 

[FFrankie]

Very cool Kenny! The Frag tank is looking great!

 

[Ratpack]

Very nice system you have there. I had thought about putting mine up in the garage but heat was always a concern. How is the tank doing now that the warmer months are coming?

 

[pookstreet]

Thanks Frankie. It worked out really well for frags and all the algae is finally gone after I put in the clean up crew and the tang.


Thanks Ratpack. I expected the heat to be a problem so I insulated the garage door, which brought the inside temp down about 15 degrees. I am able to keep the tank temp below 81 with just 2 fans on a controller so far and we've already had a week of 100+ temp outside. So I think I'll be ok. I do have a Deltec Eco Cooler if I need it. The major difference between me and you in SC is that it's mostly dry heat out here. With the humidity in your area, evaporative cooling won't work as well.

Not much has changed in the last couple of months. Just patiently waiting for things to grow out and color up more. Well, not exactly "patiently", but what else could I do?

Tank hasn't changed much. In the next month or so, I am planning on replacing the H&S skimmer with a Warner Marine AS300 skimmer. I'll have more pix up once it's in and running.

Meanwhile, here are some pix of my Chalice collection. They are finally starting to show more growth and better colors. A couple still has a long way to go in terms of coloring up.

Great looking Chalices!

 

[pookstreet]

Thanks Sara!

 

[spleen93]

Pook's Pastel Pink Watermelon? Love the name! :lol: Gorgeous colors!

 

[pookstreet]

Thanks M. I thought it was pretty fitting. Maybe when it becomes famous, it'll be known simply as the PPPWM Mr. LE did like both the coral and the name.
