Woo! good to see they are doing well. Should look awesome in that pico once grown out a bit!

Good so far. I will give it some time and see how it does. I have a spot where I put all my chalices so hopefully it works there if the rest of them are happy.

Alright just got home and decided to snap a few pictures... and a couple of the crowded frag rack...

I really like the black sand. It hasn't 'salt n peppered' as much as I thought it would, and I love the different look and the way it makes certain corals pop and stand out. I will probably keep up with the black sand for my next tank as well. I think it hides other algae and stuff a bit better than normal 'white' sand also. But if you are meticulous about anything not purely black being in the sand it may drive you crazy. Both are definitely cool, but if you want to try out something different, go black! Not saying once you do you will 'never go back' but its definitely fun so far haha.

Ah I do need to update this with some pics for sure. I will try to grab some in the next couple of days.

I have a rock with maybe 20-30 babies on it I may be willing to trade if you are interested. They are smaller than the usual ones, sizes ranging from smaller than a dime to one being about the size of a .50 cent piece. Shoot me a pm with what ya got if you are interested. thanks

Looks like I need to make a trip over soon Roy!

BRING THEM TO THEIR KNEES! muahahahahaha

Thank you for saying this!

Not if you factor in the Tylenol and pepto bismol costs...

I've always wanted to be a cool kid...might finally get the chance!

Do they have the 'demo' mode any more? That's what I used on mine and never had to hook it up to anything or mess with the settings, I just used the default ones.

Awesome! I have always wanted to do this. 30 years is very impressive, well done!

Alright I'm officially sold, I am getting an elite and will be at my house Saturday! Woo! Any suggestions for a first meal to cook?

Sweet, thanks guys. Anyone know of someone who regularly has good deals on elites? I am open to a demo model or ding/dent if it can save a bit of $$$$.

Alright guys, I am on the market for a Traeger and the lil tex looks to be about the right size. Anyone have any opinion as to if the price from the lil tex to the lil tex elite is worth it? I am seeing a color change and wheels being different. Am I missing something?

Look into LEDs also. For around the same price point you could get a sweet fixture that will also be easier than halides on the electric bill. I know some guys in the area are having good luck with the Reefstar lights, maybe start looking into those. I am sure Garrett would be a great guy to talk to about LEDs as an option as well

Oh you are a lowly peasant like the rest of us now? haha. Welcome back, enjoy the freedom!

Just wanted to say thanks to Roy, we were gone for a week and Roy came over to make sure all was well with the tank, on fairly short notice too. Great guy, thanks Roy!

Ok so a couple days later, the clam seems to still be doing fine. Getting used to the tank, opening up more and more, and still reacts and closes every time someone walks by. Here is a picture I snapped today. I am planning on doing about a 30-40% water change here this evening as well.

Aaah man now I have to get one of these...I need to stop reading things on this site, it costs me too much money haha.

Thanks for the info Roy. I will do a wc tonight. Early this morning before work it looked to still be alive and reacting to me walking by the tank, so hopefully I have a chance.

Thanks for the info. I'll keep a close eye on it and hope it doesn't end up dying.
