Sweet SPS at Rod's

wish I had more money

Trust me it don't matter how much you have. This stuff is like a very addictive drug. There is always something else I want. Self control is sooooooooooooooooo soooooooo hard.

I have a 210 and a 90 right now. I just bought a nano for my wife

:D

Yea Reefworld03 was helping unpack the bags. The place filled up after me too. Good thing Rod is good at keeping track who came in first.

The pic above is with my old camera. I should have my new one real soon. I want to start playing with the new one and see how clear I can get some of the pictures. I guess I need to shut off the flow when taking pictures too. I guess you have to just be fast. Anyone know of any links or sites that have tips on taking clear good pictures of the corals?

That's why his nickname is "seasquirt" (he's tearing open them bags and squirtin' saltwater all over himself) :blown:
 
ReefWorld03 - I was actually suppose to be at Rod's earlier, but my new Sequence pump was not able to move my water up from the basement to my 92 corner tank on the first floor. My friend who is helping me install my new 225 had to reduce the pipe down to 1" and try it again ... still did not work, so I had to put my other Sequence back on line for that tank. All of this delayed my departure by 1 1/2 hours ... so that is why you beat me this time!

I picked up 3 really nice Acro's ... 1 blue, 1 blue/green and 1 funky looking green thick one.
 
Someone say addicted...
220-125-2x75-55-29 plus 3 100g stock tanks. And 6 10's waiting for a purpose AND I HAVE ROOM FOR MORE HA HA HA.
Sure hope my daughter had a good day at school so I can take her to see some fish. ;)
 
by the way i dont think you are addicted until you are living beyond your means, in which case i am addicted and only have a 20gal :)
 
Sara I knew there was something wrong, when we didn't see you first thing. Sounds like some nice acros. I saw your DE Lumenarc at Rods, looks sweet, let me know how it works out.
 
For some reason I have a picture in my head of Sarah camping out at Rod's door with a tent waiting for him to get back.
 
Mine was more like she has the keys to the shop and sitting in Rod's chair with a box cutter in her hand....j/k

I can't help it I'm a Rod's Reef groupie. You boys are just jealous as there's a new girl in the camp ;-) I even wore my new Rod's Food T-shirt he made for me to the CMAS meeting last Saturday.

ReefWorld03 - I too can't wait to try out those new DE Lumenarc's. That was #4 sitting at Rod's. Hopefully the new 225 will be running with saltwater by the weekend. Right now it's sitting with freshwater checking for leaks ... so far, so good!
 
Sara, you can have groupie title (Yes we are jealous) as I think Tony is going to setup a ring at Rod's and wrestle yea for the title. My money is on you :-)

Are you going to run 400W or 250W on that DE reflector?

I want to experiment with 3 different lighting schemes,
400W SE 20K radiums on Lum3 reflectors / HQI Ballast
400W DE 20K or 14K on PFO reflector / HQI Ballast
400W DE 20K or 14K on Lum DE reflector / HQI Ballast

I have several pieces of the same coral that I will be putting in three different spots in my new 210 tank setup. It’s all a personal preference. I like the 400W SE 20K Radium’s on Lum3 look.
 
Maybe after I beat Tony at wrestling in Jello ... I can race him in my car too!

I am going to run 4 - 250W DE's HQI's. I will alternate 2 Reeflux 10K's and 2 Reeflux 12K's and run 6' Blue Actinic VHO's as well. I'm hoping the 4 - 250's will be adequate lighting on the new tank. I am putting in a DSB to raise the depth up to 26".
 
Tony shouldn't be an issue. Jello or no jello as he has a problem with keeping his shoulder in place. One good pull and he will be calling it quits and washing your car.....inside information from the “seasquirt”….

I also will be running a DSB as my tank is 29” tall. I run 3 250W DE using 10K Ushios with 220 watts of VHO actinic and just does not enough light for some corals. This is on my current 75 gallon tank. Menard runs 400W 14K DE on his tank at home and as awesome color. Sea Schor runs 400W 20K DE on his tank and has awesome color. Ming at Altantis runs 400W radiums on HQI ballast great color. Rommel at Ultimatefrags runs 400W radiums on HQI ballastas well and as great color. It’s just a person preference.
 
Thanks for the advice, I will aim for Tony's shoulder! I'll be careful so that he can still wash the car for me too ;-)

I took Rod's advice on the 250 HQI's and went that direction. Hopefully it's enough light for the stash of Acro's I have at Rod's!
 
Well either way drop me a line and let me know how you like the new reflectors as I think they are going to be awesome.
 
Ding ding ding ding.....tony tags in!:wave:
ok mikey aka reefworld03 aka Seasquirt, don't be hatin' on my dislocatin' shoulder

sarab, i must warn you, as you can see in my avatar i wrestle in my birthday suit and i go by the name "sweet cheeks mcnasty" my patented move is tossing the midget seasquirt mikey at my opponents.

Sara you can wash my car, but mini-me (mikey) will have to clean the tires, since he's about 3'9" lol
I hope you enjoy the shirt sara, as I, the true Rodingo groupie created that beautiful piece of artwork :)

I got them all beat on lighting i'm running VHO's baby!!!!!

ok, i think i hurt myself thinking too hard on this post...time for a beer:beer:
