  2. I'm enjoying the fact that I'm finally making my own RO/DI water....long overdue.

      the slap on the hand has become a pat (no pun intended) on the back.

      You have to admit, it was a great excuse to get out of the house..."Honey, gotta go get some more RO/DI water. Be back in a few hours."

      Now you can tell her you have to go get salt...

  3. Spent half the day cleaning and re-arranging rocks/corals. Starting the new year off right.

      Nice. I am starting to get that itch to do some re-arranging. Maybe I could catch the dreaded damsels when I do :)

  4. Aquatek is chuck-full of Red Digitata, Purple Digitata, and Montipora Spongodes. I should know, I traded-in all my frags/minicolonies!

  5. You can also use a gate valve underneath the tank, as seen in this BRS video:

    Thanks again, Johnny. Happy New Year! You just missed the new Super Actinic VHOs. I installed them about an hour ago. What a glow!
  7. Super Actinic VHOs just blow the 454s out of the water in terms of 'pop'.

      I guess with the LED advances, this post is about 3 years behind the times. :)

    Many thanks to those who stopped by and purchased frags this past week or so....I hope you are all enjoying them! Remaining, unsold frags will be taken to RCA this week for trade-in. If you said you were going to buy frags and never showed-up, well, that's no way to start the new year, is it? Thanks, Pat

    HOB Overflows

    Lifereef makes great overflow boxes that don't require an Aqua Lifter pump. I've have one on my 135g for over a year. Before that, I had a CPR on my 75g for about 2.5 years, but the Lifereef is much better. By the way, I never had a flood in 3.5 years. It's all in the design. When I had my 75g, I had a float switch that would shut the return pump off in case of a siphon failure. In my current 135g, there's enough empty space in the display tank to hold the water from the sump in case of failure. Internal overflows are not 100% either. Bulkheads can crack/leak, drain pipes can clog, yada-yada-yada. Are they more reliable? Yeah, probably. And, while unlikely, I don't think anyone is going to give you any 100% guarantees that your glass won't crack during drilling. In the end, whatever makes you sleep best is the way to go.
  10. Is that URL correct? Did you mean www.floridaliverock.com?
  11. I'm a "use dead rock" kinda guy, but wow, that's some nice-looking liverock....chuch full of life you can't buy and add later on. Nice score. May I ask the supplier?
  12. I keep of list marked "Wish List". If I see a fish somewhere (LFS, online, forums, etc.), I make a note and add it to the list. Not saying I would or can keep all of these fish, but I like to have it handy when I'm in the market for a new addition: Majestic Angel Blueface Angel Flame Angel Bellus Angel (female) --- Achilles Tang Black Spot Tang Atlantic Blue Tang Vlamingi Tang Dussumieri Tang Chevron Tang Powder Blue Tang --- Spotted Hawkfish --- Firefish Goby Purple Firefish Goby Pinkbar Aurora Prawn Goby Green Clown Goby --- Reef-Safe Heniochus Butterfly Pyramid Butterfly --- Blue/Green Mandarin Goby --- Rhomboid Wrasse --- Tuka Anthias, aka Purple Queen Anthias or Yellowstriped Fairy Basslet Squamipinnis Anthias - Male Carberryi Anthias Waitei Anthias Lyretail Anthias Ignitus Anthias Bartlett's Anthias ---- Caribbean Blue Reef Chromis Green Chromis Black & White Chromis Blackmouth Bicolor Chromis Blue-Eyed Cardinal

    I kinda thought the colors on that prostrata would really 'pop' under LEDs....great!

    RBTAs

    I'm starting to buy into this splitting by stress theory. My largest RBTA (which hasn't split in the 7 months that I've had it) had a frag fall into it, causing it to violently retract. It stayed that way inside the rocks for 2-3 days. When it finally emerged, it wasn't alone.

    Probably $20-$30.
  21. I haven't priced these yet, but someone asked for some sample pics (click on pics to zoom). FYI, I don't have any certified ID on the Aqua Delight, but that seems to be the consensus. Some say Pink Jade, but I don't think so. Nevertheless, it's a beautiful Acro. Hardy and a fast grower to boot. ORA Pearlberry Aqua Delight Aqua Delight Mini Colony Aqua Delight Full Colony
