I'm really hoping it wont be a problem.

Hah, yeah I was kind of going for the creepy factor as well. Though it did give me a moment where I was thinking "Is this the type of thing I should actually post?"

I hear ya, especially when you go the LFS and see a cool piece of live rock and think "oh that would make a cool ledge thingy!" But for now I'm satisfied.

Watch out Brett is going to stalk you and then steal all your fancy tee shirt ideas for his own. Tanks looking wicked really enjoy the dimensions and you can't beat that black sand.

Thanks Lance. I don't know if you remember my old 33 gallon tank, but looking back at photos is always kind of funny.

Thanks! I will have to incorporate a few of my t-shirts into the build, as I have more along the same lines as the lazer cat shirt than I would like to admit!

Also, how do you like your LED bulb?

Jackie, I just realized I didn't answer your question about the LED bulb. So far, I like it. I like how it is a lot more blue than most bulbs used over a refugium. I have yet to determine how I like it in terms of growing frags. I just chucked a bunch of frags that I "made" during my aquascapeing adventure. I will get back to you with a little more of a solid answer in a couple weeks when I see how they do under that light.

Also, Spencer at Blue World put my aquascape story in his blog! Haha, this makes me happy. http://www.blueworldaquariums.com/blog/ I feel like I have greatly improved the quality of the blog posts. Not to mention "improve" the reputation of his little store.

Yes I do remember it. That was on the other forum wasn't it?

Yup, I should really update that...

Anyways, got bored again last night and snapped some photos.

Got this frag recently from a local reefer. Can't remember what it is called, but is really interesting!

Another great frag from another local reefer. She has a few "mediocre" frags

Gotta love clowns!

Some sweet frags there Dan, really makes me wish we had a LFS that stocks corals around here.

Beautiful coloring

Well, you should make a trip out to the coast then! We have a few good stores now which is awesome!

Thanks Rick, I thought it was something like that. Those frags I scored from you are already some of my favorite pieces! Thanks again!

Thanks! I have a couple more I got from Rick that I wasn't able to get good photos that are equally as nice and interesting.
