Love your plumbing and RO set up. I have a suggestion for your tools. Periodically wipe them down with a light coat of WD 40. I have had issues in my shop and that totally solved any rust problems I had. Good luck.

Scott, I LOVE the tool suggestion! I am also running a dehumidifier in my sump room. Thanks

Was that purple anemone an lta or a hatian?

Also, incredible build....a good combi of patience and get it done attitude

Thanks BoneXriffic! I got the anemone from Liveaquaria.com. They say it's a Long Tentacle Anemone, Purple (Macrodactyla doreensis). This is the link.

Wow i may just have bad eyes today, its so similar to a hatian!

Have the clowns sniffed around it at all?

The clowns have not given any indication they know it's in the tank yet! Here are some pictures of my anemone:

The body gives it away. This was my condi when i first started tank. I traded him in after a year for some btas.

They are so similar! Lol ive never had an lta. Anyways ill stop cluttering your thread. Great job and keep progression pics coming! Also not sure if i missed it but do you have a qt tank setup?

 

[jgvergo]

I don't have a QT (yet). Now that I've started to build up a fair number of inhabitants, I've been thinking about it a lot more. My biggest problem is space.

 

[bknapp]

IMO a QT is something you need to make work and find space for. Hope you do so.

I got together with @hbrochs yesterday and he gave me some beautiful frags. Thanks Howard!!

Lepastrea:

Montipora spongodes:

I'm not sure why but I'm seeing this in place of most of your images:

Mike, are you on Tapatalk? It might be the browser/app you are using.

Just an FYI, I'm not seeing the pictures either, and I'm on the website albeit on a tablet. Not sure how you were loading them, but if it was via a 3rd party (like Photobucket) it appears the link has been lost. Went back to the beginning and those are not showing up anymore either.

 

[BoneXriffic]

Not seeing em here either

Hmmm, I have been dragging and dropping for Google photos.

I think you have to upload the file on this site for the pictures to work.

@jsker, I used the same technique for all the photos I upload. I don't understand why some (most) would work and others would not.

I am on PC using chrome getting the Euro stop signs were the pictures should be. I just asked, of the staff member.
