Nice piece Darren. Man, I just looked at the updated firecracker piece and it looks amazing. I'm definitely going to have to put that one into lower lighting.

Here is my "rescue" chalice that has really turned into one of my favs. I acquired it from a LFS that was selling it with some ugly cabbage coral attached to the rock and it was killing the chalice. Got it just in time. Time progression is 5 months.

Hey D we almost 5 months from this pic I feel a frag in the woks there buddy. Holla at me

Well we finally tore down and replaced the defective tank a few weeks ago. I am happy and relieved to say everything went off without a hitch. Here is some photos of the switch that took about 5 hours.
