Thanks Reefan, since I had the tank but no room to hide it I opted to try and make the refugium into something that I could use as a second display.
Thanks,

I was recently over at Greg's and must say his tank is amazing. Some of the most colorful corals I have ever seen.

Congrats!

Keith

Thank you Keith, I'm glad you liked it.

I have to admit, I continually flip back and forth to your TOTM thread, its so pretty!

How do you test your parameters? Do you use digital monitors, like Pinpoint, or do you do it the old fashion way with test tubes and chemicals?

Thanks Catherine I'm glad you like it.
I do my testing (and I hate to admit this) only occasionally and use old school test kits, test tubes & chemicals, etc. Over time one gets to know their system and what it uses and requires so I generally test no more than once every 2-3 months. I will test if I think there is a problem but then again I also have some corals that act like a "canary in a coalmine" so if they look distressed I know that a particular element is low or high and then correct it.

I was wondering where you get your corals from?

I was lucky enough to get a sneak-peek of your writeup and photos before I left on holidays. It was immediately clear the time and effort you put into this hobby. Would like to see it in person again sometime. It looks a lot different than the last time I was over.

Congratulations on a well-deserved TOTM feature Greg!!

Now I really, really want to setup my new tank so I can stuff it full with fabulous sps pieces as well.

I got about half of my collection from others in the hobby with whom I've bought from and/or traded with, and most of the rest of my stuff from the suppliers I mentioned in "acknowledgements" in my write up.

Thanks very much Ryan. I'd love to have you over any time, you have an open invitation. I know when you set yours up it will be spectacular.
Thanks again,
