Me likey.

My trip to Bora Bora has altered my views on life

Bora Bora was cool. We did that, Moorea, and Taha'a in 12 days, I think. We spent a week on Taha'a though and glad we did. It was very quiet and relaxing. Nothing to do but lounge around on the over the water bungalow and drink some ice cold Hinanos

Kenny, that was a small atol off San Andres, a small unknown island in the Caribbean (about 300 miles south of Grand Cayman). They have some big reefs there, but also it's 3 feet of water for miles at 80F. Once you get in the water you don't want to get out. The water is more comfortable to be in than dry air, lol.

Daymn....I would love to go to Taha'a.

I know what you mean, Leo. Another destination to add to the travel list. I hope to visit there some day. The lagoon waters are so calm and warm. Ahhhh......the good old days.

Man, one thing I don't relish coming out east are the mosquitoes. I've forgotten how aggressive they can be ever since I left New Orleans eons ago. You stand still for one second and they are all over you. And how exactly do they get you through a shirt???

Well, came home after 9 days and everything is still the same. The Acros are still dying little by little but all my fishies are fat and happy. I actually think the tank looks better with less corals. When I do restock on the Acros, I think I will only keep a select handful of tank raised corals and let them grow out. Getting really tired of the corals everywhere look.

Kenny you are welcome to shop from my tank when you want to restock.

I've been saying it for too long. Now it's the time to do something about it.

Unfortunately, the HUGE difference is the way you and I are going about it.

My lil' office tank resurrected!!! It'll sit on the counter on the opposite wall from the 300. It's pretty simple, mainly for QT and fish acclimation, hopefully the cold water variety Polished it up nicely to remove all the little scratches. It'll be bare bottom with a few pieces of live rocks only. Still have to hook up a Tunze 9003 skimmer on it. Then the light and the Tunze osmolator. A small chiller and it's done.

The feed and return for the chiller.

Colder water fish....That's an eye grabber for me

 

[pookstreet]

I am just getting myself ready when opportunity comes a knockin'. Already got the 300 down to 74, without a chiller Anyone want to buy my Deltec Eco-Cooler???
