Very awesome.  Love that thing under blue.  It's a all around thumb up coral daylight or blue light

Few more fires are baking.

Told beer503 samething for his new tank, but he chickened out.   You can use it as a sump or occassinally jump it as bath tub :-)

Got a small frag from Jorge back ( after I saw beer503 growout's potential but did not make it), and it almost died with my unstable tank earlier this year.  This is how it is now.  Continue with messing P&N to get more purple pe.   Late night lazy shot and ton of PS but it's pretty close to what it is in real life ( a bit richer color in real).  If you still have yours around, it might morph into something nice :-)

Man, living in PNW is not easy.  Gotta find things to clear your mind.  For me.

1.  Fishing on both boat and bank ( Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring Salmon and Surf fishing).

2.  SPS dominated.   Why?  cause they are like science project and weekly tank cleaning/maintaining keep me in shape (especially Winter slow hibernate time)

3.  Guns, when others are slow down, Time to get out of the house to have some fun.

4.  Beers: not much but daily a bottle :-)

5.  School & Science: may be at some point when I am too old for the item 1 & 2 :-)

Tank is running now and will come down Sat May 14^th . If interested in the tank come by and look at it with water in it, will need cleaning.

If any fish or coral left the week before I’ll list then, all free to a good home. I do have three Rose Anemones but will have to get them off the rock, some Zoas on large rocks and a few soft coral

All the rock is free, first come, will need to be dried, cleaned and recycled it was BRS dry rock

Everything will be available later Saturday the 14^th and Sunday

i am interested in the tank and sump.  Is there a way to swing by to take a look?

Sorry for not up to date with this thread.  Temporary patch was in placed at in mid size of the tank where the leak came from.  The bigger issue is that corrosion is eating up metal frame where it got leaked twice ( last time and this time) so this tank will either be retired or a very good solution in place to support it ( over lap with another metal layer from outside...etc, IDK yet)

Anyway, I am blessed with lot of support and late night help from Jeff-CuttleFish and follow reefers ( Jorge, Fernando, Beer503, Dragon, Brian ).  And ton of help offer from Forum.  Thank you very much all.

All, just found out 600gal tank gets leaked from bottom. I would need to borrow 10 of 55 gal barrels. Any help would be appreciated

Fernando told me that it is called Danik's Goblin and Peter Pan Tenuis.

Don't think it's same as Danik's Goblin.  Its PEs a bit more bigger, bigger scales, and little richer in colors.   Very similar but not same, I think.

Like the picture love the coral. Does it have a name?

No name :-).  Got it from Fernando a while ago. 

Unfortunately I did... and I think I undersold them by $550 each

That thing is a king of Tenius under blue.  5/6 colors (rainbow), amazing.

 

Downloaded a new cell phone photo app playing around with it

Colony looks inbalancing.  Did you lose two frags out of it :-)?

Sweeet, thank you all

It's confusing when you use "Return".  Return to me is gravity feed back to sump.  Pressurized flow is from the pump to your tank.  There's flow chart below for your decision.

Oh how many frags does that get me?

:-), will frag you some.  Need to figure out how to get them to you. 

Great shots man!!   At some point, i will cough up the cash to get that dang lens!!

 

nice job!!

The two newest pics were taken by Roleiii's camera that he posted for sale earlier in the forum.  Just wanna make sure it took care of custom WB.  Not bad of Cannon D60 on its regular lense. Took 'em in rush but more of a toy for the Winter later on to mess around with ISO/shutter and stuff.  Now is time to heads back to river fulltime :-).

Anyone?  Any tricks/tip? secret brine? :-) will trade frags for tips :-)

U need to turn the whole wetside until you have a feel of tight bond between dry and wet sides.  It won't be like old mp40 with strong mag.  You need to find a sweet spot where the dry and wet stick the most by turn/twist the wetside

What kind of pump required for that skimmer?

LED: The reason I come back to this hobby because of LED ( excellent SPS colors and very controllable).  

No halide : I don't like its heat ( but best tank looking light).

No T5 for me: I don't like fluorescent T5 cause their short life and dealing with recycle mercury environment headache.
