99 frags to mount in the tank, 99 frags to mount, take one down, pass it around, 98 frags to mount in the tank

98 frags to mount in the tank .... :music:

Lol!

There is room, I just need to get rid of some. Damn Warren was suppose to come by and take some frags but he's been dodging me. I can also add more rocks...:mrgreen:

You guys are hilarious. lol

Dodging you?! Buddy, you haven't answered my texts in 2 days! Our reef bromance is on thin ice, lol.

That's it. I'm coming over tonight. Clear your schedule!!!

Come on now, don't let Warren hog all the nice stuff. His frag rack is full. If he starts glueing frags down who knows what might happen. :lol:

New fish

Bursting at the seams.


And Brad, I am adding more rocks and once that's done, I will mount them directly to the rocks....without frag plugs...before you start giving me crap. :smile:

Very nice Rich. Where did you get the fathead anthias? Now you just need a square box anthias and you are set.

I didn't say a thing!! Although you might want to have a frag sale real soon :)

I had another ro unit sitting around so I decided to link everything up. Turned out pretty good. Water production is up to 300 Gallons per day. Its way over kill but what eves.

Got it from Oceanic corals, Albert gave me great service and even delivered the fish. I ordered it from him around 2 weeks ago and he semi quarantined for me for 2 weeks and made sure that it ate before dropping it off for me. I couldn't be happier.

You coming down soon? :wink:

Nope, no room for frags. I have to have a sale of my own :)

My favorite fish

Hey Rich, some of those frags are starting to look like mini colonies! Nicely done. And I couldn't agree more with your comments on Albert. He service has always been above and beyond expectations. AND he delivers!

beautiful anthias , really want one but that price doe

Yes sir slowly but surely. Stop by, I'll get the boys to come over and we will shop talk reef.

Thanks. I got the last one from Kraken for $150 each, darn good deal. Maybe shoot him a pm.

Get those extra rocks in buddy, and we can go frag shopping again, lol!

Looks awesome as always!

I'll get it done this weekend. Still can't buy anymore frags, you heard the wife. I need to get her something shinny to distract her...:mrgreen:

Get her a Ducati. Zooooooom!

That's quite the fathead you got there, and a nice fish too !
You have So too many frags :lol:

Okay...lol

Buy a pack of Juicy Fruit and give her the empty wrappers. Or buy her a small compact mirror and she could spend hours staring at it..? Anything else just takes away from your fish funds mang!
And if she sees this post, then I'll have to take a pass on coming over to visit LOL

:boink: Ya know I love ya man and I don't think you have a fat head

So did you get any frags actually mounted and off the plugs? If so where are the pictures? :biggrin:

Ya Rich... Where's the pictures? Lol.

Ya, it's been a long time. We are going through withdrawls here ...

Ya, Rich....

Coming now.

Don't worry, I got a few pics posting up soon.

Lost both sunbursts, sucks big time but life goes on, I fished out the trigger and the flame out of the tank and I think the stress took a toll on the sunburst.

All my other fishes are happy and alive. few spots on the achilles but that's a given. Damn fish is probably born with it.

I have added more rocks to the tank and happy to say all frags are mounted, urchins are still knocking them off here and there just to keep me busy.

New toys for the tank. 1 more gyre, laguna 4380gph return pump, 2 AI hydra 52
(quality assurance demo:lol:) replaced the 3 vegas in my home made hybrid.

I really wasn't looking to replace the return pump but the speedwave return crapped out so it was a forced fed. After my beautiful plumbing job and right before I fire it up I said to myself man this is an overkill, 4300gph might just blow the pipe right off the bulk head. Well, it turned out pretty good, lots of flow but it was working flawlessly.....until several glass crunching sound and a shower of glass shards and little black balls shot out the return pipe. my wife was like wtf was that? Boom! it dawn on me that I left a thermometer in the return and totally forgot about it. First thing came to mind was mercury but after consulting with several other reefers we came to the conclusion that its only alcohol and metal beads I had a sense of relief. Lesson of the day is do not leave any loose in a high volume pump in the return chamber. Happy to report nothing was kill or injured.

Second Gyre was added only because I didn't like the look of asymmetric. I like the balance look and man does the tank have flow, so much flow that some of the frogspawn is literally blown right off the skeleton so I promptly dialed everything back.:redface: Gonna have to get rid of all the lps in the tank and then I am gonna let it rip. :twised:

I was fortunate enough to be given the chance to demo a set of hydra 52s so I replaced the 3 vegas and let me tell you I am impressed with those lights. Those lights are bright. I have them dialed down so the coral can acclimate to the new lights, I will let you guys know how the coral react.

Enough talk...here are some night glow pics with the hydra 52 ultra violet light on 100%

Forgot to mention that I plumbed the reactors into the return to eliminate the need of running extra pumps and it also freed up some outlets.

Congrats on 100 pages. Not sure if this is good or bad :noidea:

Thanks buddy! I think its good....maybe...:biggrin:

Haha exactly my thought!!

I think someone got confused during the whole process. Maybe the number of frags overwhelmed him. :lol:

Thanks...

Ya ya....I know. lol

Never...I think I need professional help. Hi my name is Rich R I C H and I am an addict.
