'Well if you cannot beat em, then tear em down!' Unfortunately there are some who live their lives by this. There will always be people who like to start drama, just in the end, know who your friends are, and just ignore the rift raft. They invariably will get weeded out in time.

Thanks everyone. All your tanks rock also. I knew you guys were all cool. I don't know some of you but your replies speak a million words. Thanks again.

Lata.

I want a "mediocre" tank too.

Can I trade!!??

Your tank rocks!! reminds me of some of the formations I dove on in Truk Lagoon in the 80s.

I hope at the end of my rebuild my tank looks half as good as yours.

Thanks again. That pic was taken 10-7-07. All the corals are almost twice as big. I had really good growth with my six 54watt T-5's. I will post a new pic soon. Though I did have some brown outs and lightened colors due to my change from T-5 to 500watt of MH. None the less I will post a pic to show growth rate.

Here is a new pic. It's small because I had to resize it so low for some reason. This one is still not a new one with the MH, but you can see the awesome growth that I got with the T-5.

Sad, but true. Like the old saying, if someone is judging you harshly consider the source.

Day-um, I like that tank.

No, wait, it's lousy and you should quit the hobby. And I will take care of your corals for you, as a favor to you, of course!

Troy, the growth is great, so why switch away from the T5's that provided that growth?

 

[TNTREEF]

I wanted better colors. My corals were really light and washed out. I hate to dose by hand so aminos and such are out. So I was hoping that the MH would help, even if only a little bit it will be worth it. My tenuis is already going from light purple tips to dark royal blue tips but we'll see. Thanks for the props too.

Those monti caps are rockin! I just love them.

 

[TNTREEF]

The caps started off as thumb nail size frags. Just about all my SPS were 1.5" when I started.

Sorry for bumping this up again, I am the last one to stoke the fires of drama........

Its too bad, sometimes people get too wraped up in "keeping with the Jones' " or "one upping" each other, we miss the whole freaking point.......Behind all the equipment and the chemistry and trying to get to the next level, we forget that in the end....its what you like and want is all that matters. If all you like is Snakes and Sparklers......rock on, but if someone else likes Kitty Chasers, Husker-Do's, Husker-Don'ts, Roman candles, Sceamin' Meemees, and such......why hate?

I like colored sticks, because the bright colors are fun to look at, the girlfriend like "wavy things". Different strokes for different folks.

In all honesty, it would be pretty boring if we all had the same tanks and appreciate all of them for all of your work and dedication to them.

Pathetic, I say.........sorry for your frustration and uncalled for. Does that person know how hard it is to avoid disaster to be able to grow such centerpiece colonies as large as you have?

Ignore it, they have no idea what they are speaking about.
