Good feedback but wish it would have been more effective for you. Good luck with the copper treatment - hope you are able to save everyone.

Well, if it is any consolation, I am sure you are much better at both than I!

Well... I know what I will be dreaming about tonight! And true Bill, it doesn't even do it justice (no offense Holly) - that thing just glows in person. Thanks for sharing MrBret and thanks for obtaining viewing rights Holly. Much appreciated

TheClark - not just for IT anymore! Spreading the GFCI love across PNWMAS. Glad it saved your bacon Miles!

You just had to go there didn't you Kim! Time to start knocking on wood...

Shouldn't have to rewire anything (other than the outlet) as long as you have a grounded circuit - which absolutely should be the case in any newer construction. I actually wired a couple of GFCI duplex outlets into my stand because it ended up covering the wall outlets once in place and I would have had a hell of a time getting back there to reset them if they tripped (hole say time)! Worked out great which, sadly, I discovered when my refugium flooded the stand due to a leaky seam and I stuck my hand under there in the dark to see what was wrong. Thankfully the outlets had tripped! I also have a grounding probe in the tank just in case...

Ahh... it was part of the crazy stash of stuff MrBret is keeping at Holly's - trust me, everyone wanted it! Seemed to continue the theme of the C&C chalice sale Maybe Holly will post a pic of it just so we can all lust together

You know who that "belonged to" yes? Hehe... couldn't resist it given the date. Have you actually seen it? Truly spectacular.

Oh man... that is a bummer. As if knowing you had the one coming wasn't bad enough! Maybe you can get Jeff to kick in since it was all in a good cause

Not sure if it helps or not but my experience was as follows... Got the email notification about "time to renew" and was able to follow the links and pay with paypal. Forgot I had setup the auto renew feature last year when I joined back up so didn't think to change that. About a week later, I got a notice saying that my auto renewal had gone through. So... both pieces seemed to be working but it did allow me to pay twice.

Haha - ain't that the truth! Nothing like "bargain shopping" to get you to drop a ton of cash... especially in this hobby! Been tempted so many times but I can't fit anything else in our dinning room so that holds me back. Really would be cool to have a combined system like this though from an efficiency perspective. Then I would also have more room for all the things I keep bringing home from Holly's!

Disaster proofing is a good thing. Nothing like losing all your old build theirs to wreck your day! Thanks for working on this admins!

Great job Miles and really nice write up. Good to hear other people's experiences with trying to get it right. Seems like no matter how much planning you do, there is always something that doesn't quite work the way you had hoped. Expect the unexpected I guess! I'm getting jealous of all you folks with the nice frag tanks!

Looking really nice Jorge! Know you have had some challenges but great that it can still look this sweet!

Nice selection Daniel. That banana lokani does look really cool in the tank so definitely worth getting one next time Holly frags it!

BTW Holly, thanks for the killer deal on that huge Alien Eye pectinia colony! It looks fantastic as my new centerpiece in the tank. Oh wait... was I not supposed to mention that ?

10minutes late and I miss the twilight dragon! Guess someone didn't take my speed camera warnings to heart ? Lots of great coral and conversation. Good to have a chance to hang out with you all and score some frags at the same time. Thanks for hosting us Holly!

I second the idea of a possum wrasse. We had one and it was a real slow gentle moving fish that liked to hang close to the rocks so would probably feel right at home. Seahorse has them once in a while. I think they are pretty cool looking as well shape of a mystery wrasse but smaller and different coloring.

Second this. Used to be a challenge but the mobile site is pretty slick now. Easy photo uploads and everything.

Haha! If only that were true!

Yep - Holly's neighborhood is covered with speed cameras all over the place. In fact, I think it is far too risky for any of you to drive over there

So many frags... so little time. I need to clone myself for weekends.

Hey Kim - I think I might be holding this for him for a bit (no, really!) so it might be easier if we coordinate on pickup but I will let Brian verify. Then again, once it's in my tank... Just let me know what works best for you all.

What - no last minute bids? I obviously got here just a little too late!

I think live rock from there would give me pause. Wish I had more confidence in the place as they are conveniently located for me and occasionally have some nice things in there but I think I would pass.
