What? That sump looks like crap, he needs to give me that sump and set up a new one.....:mrgreen:

Thanks Joe, I agree about the frags... soon buddy, soon!

That would cost you a few frags my friend! :lol: You know I would be happy to build you one... on your next upgrade!


Built an auto water change draining device, start some suction and walk away. Automatically stops at the 20 gallon mark.
Strainers, tee and pipe in tank are not glued. This allows for different lengths to be used to drain any desired volume.

Water changes are now a snap!

Good shot of the Birdsnest there buddy, continues to do well!

I see it's not the only critter lookin' happy

Nice work!

i want one of those!

Dood, you should see the smile on my cake hole! ---> :mrgreen:

Thanks fellas! $29.99 shipped! But wait... there's more! Get a second one free when you order! :lol: Don't delay!

Played around with my cameras white balance (still not able to custom set), and came up with some pics more true to colour. A tripod is in order to fix focusing issues. Enjoy.

My new Wrasse, added last night, is still sleeping.

https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8808/...59159f0a_c.jpg

That is all.

What kinda flasher is that ?
Filamented maybe, or second guess is McCoskers ?

Gotta love wrasses :mrgreen:

For the life of me I can't remember what Tim called it... but Filamented sounds right.

Here's a better pic now that he's awake!

Now you have gone and made a BIG mistake. One wrasse always leads to another and another. I want more and my tank is pretty full but I am considering it any way.

I see your frag rack is filling up as well, it needs some blue and purple on it though. :razz:

Looks great buddy.

Warren I know you went to Ryan's and got some nice frags but I dont see any pictures yet? :razz:

I was expecting to see them also must be slacking.
Just messing with you it's been less then 24 hours still.

News travels fast. Lol

The frag rack you use have been known to rust. I had one it rusted the seals are sometimes badly done. Keep an eye on it.

Don't get your knickers in a twist boys. Update soon.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll keep an eye on it.

Waiting..... Little bit of twisting going on....

Lol... sorry. Had to watch Game of Thrones tonight because I was just too busy picking up some new frags yesterday, lol.

So here we go! Camera does not do them justice!

I want to thank Ryan for the awesome pieces and a big shout out to Rich, who has infected me with his addiction! I sense this is just the beginning!

Here's some more reef porn, enjoy!

Guess you can start crossing out the wish list on the bottom like cali tort and wolverine...:mrgreen:

BTW, don't blame me for your obsession, I am merely just a driver....:twised:

Seems you picked up some of Ryan's finer pieces. Looking very nice. Time to raid fragbox next it looks like? :biggrin:

On the way to get frags :car: Coming home with frags :Banane44:

Already done!

Nice man. Put me down for frags of your frags :p

Nice collection there Warren

Man, you've got some expensive tastes! :wink: Nice looking stuff.

Haha, for sure!

Thanks buddy, only a couple dozen more to go lol!

For sure! My theory is, what's the point of spending thousands on a set up if your not willing to shell out a few hundred for high end candy? I think everyone should treat themselves!

I have to agree with u 100% on this. I've seen pics of Mybe 15-20k+ setups with what looks like $50 total of corals n I think to myself hmmm how does that work lol. Great choices in frags man. Lmk when that kush berry is rdy for fragging. It looks sick lol

Very nice frags, but you're going to run out of room once they start growing! That's the dilemma I have right now. Lots of frags I would like to buy but nowhere to put them in my DT...

And a bit of advice on that,... don't have any mushrooms or palys in your tank with your SPS. They will take over, and crowd out the SPS, at least on the lower levels. And no way to get rid of them, trust me, I have tried everything. They are a worse plague than aiptasia, valonia, GHA, or anything else that I have encountered.

Anyway, good luck, you certainly have the making of a great looking tank.

Thanks! I hear you on the softies and palys. Zero plans for adding them. I do have 4 pieces of LPS that will probably be removed once the sps starts growing in. I just had to have the rastas and I am also considering some utter chaos and pink hippos too, but I want to secluded them on their own island or tree. I think I am setting myself up for an upgrade lol! The wife is starting to show a lot of interest so hopefully that will work in my favour!

I too fear my Euphylias and zoas attacking sps so I kept them right in he middle of my tank on their own rocks far away from sps. Early will save lots of headaches in the future.

Got a couple new pieces from the Fragbox group buy. Frost Bite (front left), and Wasabi Tortusa (front right). Again, sorry about the colours, just a quick pic with the phone.

Believe it or not, my new favourite piece is Ram3500's Forest Fire Digi. I'm in awe... thanks Ian!

Now before you kids start freaking out about the next couple pics, understand first that I am just fostering the Naso for now. He's gorgeous!
It would seem a few fish found their way into my tank over the weekend and I am happy to give them a place to crash. I'm thinking the Kole can stay and become my premier specimen.

Nice to see things are coming along !! You have a lot of nice frags keep the pictures coming :biggrin:

YOU'VE GOT MAIL!

I wonder what it could be?

All the way from Quebec in 7 days and not a mark on the box!

Impressive Canada Post... impressive!

https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7693/...de9f1e66_o.jpg

BOOYAA!!

Now we're talkin'!

I could have made my own battery backup, but electronics DIY is one of my least favourite things... and this comes all assembled and purdy and ready to mount. I'm pretty happy shipping was free from ReefSupplies, because this thing weighs a ton!

I will also be doing a thread documenting the install of the QD, including before and after testing with a sound meter. Here's a preview: 3 feet from the MP40wES running surf crest at 50%.

https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7684/...51034dca_o.jpg

Thanks for looking!

I need that app....lol

So what exactly did you buy for the upgrade? Just the driver?

Its always nice to get things in the mail. How did you manage not to install everything once you opened it.

Yup, just the driver. Didn't feel like shelling out for a whole new whiz-ding.

After I took those pics the couch was calling... then I fell asleep, lol.

My wife gave me crabs today... well, just 1 crab.

Also picked up a few supplements.
