57 Illuminata

Just a rookie bud. Great to have you close for the OMG"s....Chat soon.. NJ is calling..LOL


I know right .U do plenty of OMG's for the both of us .

Man, sorry about your losses! I'm really liking that tank though -- very clean look. Knowing your ability to source some sweet pieces, it won't take long to get your collection back up to drool-status.

It sucks..I am going to limit myself since I went with the minimalist approach on the rock work ..Easier to manage this way .




Could you pm me a link to this dosing container too?

I will send the link in a few ..FWIW .Elite aquatics does make a dosing container that holds 1 gallon each of three part .

Mounted a few corals this evening ..Didn't take that long since its a third of what I had .Siphoned the detritus n recycled the water thru the overflow with debris to be caught in filter sock.

I know what you mean on the sand. My next tank I am debating on going no sand but love wrasses so maybe sand under the rocks and bare every where else?

Ima try it for now but if my paly's n zoa's decline ...sand it will be .Been looking for some retail memorial day sales but what good is a sale, if a item is OOS or discounts don't apply due to exclusions . Would be nice if some could use some wit but as it is looks like my chump change is gonna stay in my mitt . :tongue:
 

Thanks man ...

I traded with a local reefer to get some replacements .
Gave up a 25 head hammer n such ...I kept a few heads to grow it out again .

Ended up with

Ultimate Stag ..

Nice can't beat a hammer for acro trade!:) hammer will grow back in no time!
 
P, I haven't been on this site much and looked up your thread and just realized that we are now 80 gallon DB tank buddies. Nice choice. The new tank looks great. I'm sure you'll have it up to reef tank perfection in no time. I'm going to need to keep an eye on this. Thanks for sharing.

Edit - Thinking out loud. Maybe you should start a new thread since the title no longer applies. Just a thought.

Thanks
Yah it will be a titlt change or new thread .


Not much to update , Just got released from the hospital last week , I was literally drowning with fluid in my lungs .I left with so many needle marks in arms I must have looked like a IV drug user . No clogged arteries and they don't know the cause . I just didn't feel well so I went to a doc n a box and within 30 minutes I was getting tossed in an ambulance .
It has me on the limb with wanting to take a break from the hobby for a bit .
Going to do some traveling to see family in the next month . I did get out of the house this past Sat with my local buddy Paul C . We made the local reef shop rounds .
I picked up some new ro filters n spent the rest of the day admiring Paul C's new additions and the crazy size n colors of his z n p's .
We did get a dry look at his new skimmer the Skimz Leopard with DC pump .
He also sent me home with some new corals .. I guess he doesn't want me to throw in the towel yet .
Congrat's on the skimmer PaulC n thanks for everything yesterday bud .
 
Always a pleasure P. Welcomed at my house anytime. As a side note, You have picked the most opportune time to travel. Moving the 75 for the new monster and you suddenly become a traveler. Lol. Safe travels my friend. See you when you get back. Oh, btw..... Dont want you to get out of the hobby so to speak, just join the dark side bud. :xd:

Got a few starter rocks just waiting for you... I mean if your gunna redo the 80 when you return, might as well give up on those sticks..
 
Well, I know Mr. Percy will deny it, but he is in love with what i call my rocks. My chalice collection has overgrown my little 75 so much so, that a new Elos XL160 is arriving this Thursday. He's in denial..Lol.. I have several set aside for Mr. P. once he embraces his true love and give up on thoses sticks. This is the dark side that i speak of Flipside.
 
Hahaha! Gotcha! :D

It's really hard to dispute that with you. I have seen some insane chalice tanks. :)
