Robb in Austin

He's got a 4x4 dualie Kenworth.

He ain't very big though.

You did in fact. Which is why I won't sticky that answer; might look like I'm biased.

I would agree but Ty's ego is already big enough.

That and a crap ton of SPS pulling and using the excess nutrients.

Thanks for the equipment list.

I'm a bit torn on LEDs (cost to implement and the unknown going forward). I've pretty much ruled out MH (cost to implement, heat and potential need for chiller). I'd really like to keep with T5 but a good 72" fixture doesn't exist anymore that I've found other than used.

How about an updated equipment list?

Did you consider led?

Looks great!

Question (or 3. And I apologize if this has been answered elsewhere.);

Is it camera angle or does the chamber on the left only have an inch left in it?

What are you doing for overflow capacity in the event of a power outage? Siphon break way up high on your returns/drains?

Nice looking tank. I think I'll add a kole once I get my new setup going; always loved 'em.

The latest FTS!

Ok. The REAL last FTS. 4/14/14

Yesterday, 5/9/14, I got a call from SWMBO that she found water on the floor by the tank. No biggie, sometimes Mama Clown or others will splash water onto the floor when feeding.

Ha!

Woke up today and found more water on the floor. About a pint. Oops. Initially we thought it was the FW tank but, after a few minutes of digging, we found a leak coming from the bottom front seal of the tank. Moved all the livestock to 3 Rubbermaid tubs. The giant rock of palys and another with em growing on it are in the tub with the lid on it. I won't shed a tear if they all die off. I did move some stuff to the 20g due to space issues in the tubs.

The hunt has begun for the replacement. Looking for something in the 6ft/180g size.

I moved this to increase the visibility.

I had the pleasure of meeting Tim a few times over the years and feel sorry for his family. He was a really nice guy.

Tim: GIMME!

RIP Tim.

Nicely done. Any concern on the drivers being so close to the MH and them getting roasted?

I thought you've always had "something small at home", we don't need to see the pics.

Only when you come over.

Well, this is now a 'something small at home' build.

Moved the system to home tonight. We'll see what becomes of it. I moved the majority of the livestock into the 75. Left 4 rocks plus the giant zoa rock in there. I moved most of the livestock because I expect a mini cycle due to moving everything and stirring up the sand bed.

Maybe I'll make it a mini-FOWLR and drop a angler in there. Hmmmmmm. Open to ideas though so if you got em, share em.

Link to where you got them? Aside from Reefbreeders obviously.

Start here: http://www.chucksaddiction.com/hitchhikers.html

Then try Wet Web Media.

Looks like a sponge to me.

Try Fish Gallery, think I saw a Reeflo product there.

Heck, try all the LFS who are sponsors.

That voice sounds like Morgan Freeman impersonating an Indian.

Does it come with ammo?

About the only pink pokey thing that doesn't move that I can think of is a coral. Usually of the SPS variety.

But yeah, need a picture.

And frequent water changes.

Welcome and welcome back to the addic....hobby!

Sucks to hear J.

I'm in agreement with Patrick on this; simple is better.

Agree, nice pics.

Re: macro lens. Don't forget about the used market. Also, the 'off brand' lens companies(Sigma, Tamron, Tokina) all make very good macros and are cheaper than Nikon or canon. I grabbed a spotless Sigma 150 a few years ago off Ebay for about 2/3 of MSRP (still wasn't cheap).

if not, check craigslist.
