nice chubky frags!!!

That chubky is a good work for big chunky frags.

I have a bathtub i don't use much. There is either sand or dirt on the bottom of it. Will that help? I can hook it up to water or run a hose to it if needed. Let me know soon. I could use a good chalice. Favorite way to drink my grog. 

Is that Easter weekend?

Ramey brings up the what I believe is the most important question as well as the second most important question.  What lights are you running, and location of coral. 

Once you you let these people know what those two answers are, you will recieve great advice. Good luck. 

At some point that crab is going to die. At some point the mantis I'd going to need to eat. 

I think you see the road I am heading down. The big deal is to make sure and get video of this. 

Maybe someone has a "bad" crab you could trade your crab for?  I lost 2 emeralds last week. They are going to die at some point so you might as well make it worthwhile. I used to purchase goldfish for my Oscars, what's the difference ? 

Good luck and take care. 

Most of us all know Brian doesn't deserve flack for running a grow out.  Hopefully people will understand that this is meant to be a friendly grow out. Nothing more than that.

I used to drain my ears almost daily when my cauliflower was coming in. 

I always thought my mom was goofing on me about cleaning my ears or I would grow potato in there. I guess she wasn't kidding. 

If you keep a close eye on this board or once you have enough posts or become a member you can start your own thread asking if someone has a reasonably priced light fixture for sale. 

So many great people on this board that are willing to help so just keep poking around and asking questions.  You will be found and will be able to help others forget they were ever lost. Good luck. 

When I m referring to the ocean revive lights I forgot to mention I was speaking about best bang for the buck in my opinion. Remember my opinion is only worth what you paid for it and most of the time even less.

Ocean revives. Two channel control, and built in timer. I've Used them for the last two years over my frag tanks and they do well. I've got one over my 40b right now and it covers well. Two would be better though and they are about $180 each.

 

Very good entry level LED lights. I just bought a Radion xr15 gen 4 and wow! Huge difference but for the price tag it should be. I will always recommend the Ocean Revives to newer reefers. Not too much investment while you are still feeling out the hobby and they have grown Corals wonderfully for me

I have two of the ocean revives over a 40 breeder. I think they are turned down to about 50%. I had one for a long time before I bought another one. One will work just fine for a long time if not for good. 

You our also don't want your tank over saturated with light. If you are going to have anything other than sticks you will want a few shaded areas here and there. Even some sticks don't want full blown light.

Geez Brian...what are you, like 67? Get hip, yo.

 

You mean a new hip right? 

I was thinking the same exact thing when I read this earlier 

I am in about $1200.00.   

Oh oh you meant overall? I thought you meant this week? 

Fancy man. 

But thank you to all involved who gave your own free time to try and make this a better site. 

I hate change. Even change like nickels and quarters and such. 

Pictures don't do justice I seen all these in person today beautiful corals!!

Ah, Your just saying that because I give you free stix

I own an older asteroid matching, not sure of the year. Everything works pretty well but it could use new graphics on the sides and the goin box needs redone. .just needs to be freshened up. Anyone here that has the skills or know of anyone with the skills? Thank you

I was thinking Tom has to have a colony of Jaw dropper or homewrecker, maybe even pink caddy to get us going. Problem is it's a $1200.buy in and we only get one of those three.

I am in if anything is available. Did you already put me in Brian? I asked you to.

Sorry about the cruddy picture quality. Looked much better on my phone. If I had known they would be this horrible I wouldn't of bothered.

I really do. Someone here on the board is to blame. I shall not mention his name. He knows who he is. Not all these are sticks but as you will see the ratio favors one coral over the other.
