Great stuff man! Keep it up! That looks like a great skimmer. Thanks for the comparison as that helps me a lot. Decent nog for initial setup too. Should become much darker in very little time, judging by it's out of box performance.

Oh, and WOWZA to the LPS shots! Making me want to convert! LOL!

Thanks , It's getting hard to keep up with u an Zibba's updates...
The skimmer will have to do . Still using the moto to take pic's . I have added my last 18 SPS frags . This will be it for this tank . Nudi's n peppermints r still cleaning up the aiptaisa issue .

I already have a TDF but couldn't pass up on a full OA TDF frag. They look nothing alike . The other one is a yellow green blob .

This one is a not a Red Planet but is either the OA Firegarden or Hot pink Acro . Not sure but I like it . anyone wanna take a guess .

Gomezi colored down after dipping .

OA Minty Fresh is coming along .

This MACNA SSC is starting to grow a little .

An OA GLowStick Batunai that is no longer on the OA plug .

I'll add pic's later of the other's ..

Ohhh I like the Glowstick!

Awesome new SPS additions Buddha!

Thanks, .
Haven't seen a batunai since the Kupang shipments died down and that was years ago .

Awesome new SPS additions Buddha!

Thanks Zibba

Milka Stylo is still coloring up . This one has to grown on ya . U can see the trochus snail in the pic . Good thing about those is u get freebies from babies.

Pic is kinda blurry but the OA Pinkberry (PBA ) on the bottom and the abro on top look's pretty rough from the dip .

Cannot get the glare out of the pic's of the Pearlberry .

I do have to add pic's of

Ora Pearlberry
Blue Tort
Ora Miami Orchid
OA Blueberry Delight
2 Nasuta's
Ice tort

I will have to go back through my thread to see what I posted on .
and quite a few others if I can get in lens range .

I tried running this skimmer @ 9._+ inches which is my sump height but the skimate was too light or wet for my likes .

I raised it to 7.5 inches and cleaned the cup last night . i

I'll leave it like this for now.

I have one that looks like your firegarden... I dont have a clue what it is, but it's cool... I would really like to know what it is... Here is a pic:

Here is my Purple Stylo too Growing like Crazy:

Nice set up Budda... I will defiantly be following along.... and checking back in the thread as I just got here

 

[zibba]

Forgive my ignorance, but what does "OA" stand for? That pinkberry looks like it's going to be a rad piece.

I am glad I was able to get a pinkberry ..Hope it colors back up n thrives .
Oculus Aquatics .
They are a wholesaler out of Cali who had great aqua cultured frags that supplied the retail industry . I am trying to find as many as I can . I heard from a little blenny that they will no longer be offering frags .. They have had a lot of great ones over the years .They can usually be identified by that corner post plug the frags r on.
EG :
Strawberry shortcake
Tierra del fuego
Hot Lava
Purple Nurple
Passion Fruit Tenuis
Orange Sherbert
Echinata
Hawaiian Punch
Kim's Fruitcake
Blueberry Delight ...just to name a few .

Enjoy .. look forward to seeing your build on here . HINT, HINT ..

Gotcha... I'm working on it... actually, I have it all in a word doc... just need to get it up to date... about 4-5 months behind....plus I've got some big stuff I'm doing with my power/lighting and I haven't had time with work... you know that thing that keeps us from doing what we love, but if we didn't do it, we could not do what we love?

Yep . It was a lot of snow . At least the power stayed on . My condolences to those who lost their lives . A few did trying to get their vehicles out . (carbon monoxide ) .The hit n run story really made me angry.
