very nice assortment. One day... when everything is taken off the plugs and set up in the rocks your little tank is going to be quite impressive my friend. Right now it's just kinda impressive. ;-)
I need a tank sitter in two weeks. I'm gonna be gone from the 16th to the 20th of this month. wow. that's not two weeks. It's less than one isn't it. Anyway my neighbor upstairs can come down and feed it, but refilling the top off and scrapping algae well, I'd prefer someone that is use to pooring 5 gallons juggs over carpet and that is less likely to spill. I know i'm far away though so let me know if it's not gonna work out.
Peace my brotha.

Lol thanks Cris. I am in the process of gluing things where I want them.KidNano said:
I dont know if I can make that drive. I could do like one day... maybe that Friday.
How about this... you can borrow my ATO. How much water will your tank lose in that time? I have a 16g tank you can use as a reservoir and if you have a small pump like a MJ400 or something you just plug that into the ATO. The aqualifter I have probably cant pump water fast enough for a tank your size. Anyways, it is very portable and I wanted to meet up with you soon, so what do you say? I can bring it out to you this weekend.

Jesse, you are collecting some nice things!!! :shock: Where is your secret?!?!? I can't wait to see this tank come together!
Thanks Alex! Secret? Crackberry! Or should I say blackberry! That means that I can cruise all the sites all day and get in on the sweet pieces as soon as they are posted! Seriously though, I picked up the one frag at an expo, those last 4 I picked up from a local guy here who is a propagator and had to dump a few corals to make room. I think I was the first one there and got a sweet deal. We have an amazing selection here in So Cal... I cant deny that.AlexfromSATX said:
So I took everything off of their disks today and started placing them where I think I want them. Those frags in the "fav five" picture were all kept under some serious MH lighting to I moved them all right up to where I wanted them. No need to acclimate them.
I also just ran out of the Red Sea Coral Pro salt that I was using. Seems how it was soooo filthy (brown crap stuck to the sides of the mixing bucket, a film on the surface of the water, a crazy amount of sediment) I decided to try the Coralife salt. My LFS sells it for $14.99/ 50 gallon bag and it has done pretty well in recent tests (560 Ca, 9 Alk, 1380 Mg) and it dissolved much faster and cleaner. We'll see how it does. The other one I want to look into is the oceanpure salt. marinedepot sells it cheap and its numbers are dead-on (510 Ca, 10 Alk, 1320 Mg).
BTW, here is a pretty cool thread for anyone who is curios about the salts out there right now... http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthrea ... id=1287118

I'm investing in the Blackberry, seems like a great piece of equpment to add to my fish stuff if it's getting those kind of results :lol: Now to convince the GF that it is totally necassary :lol:
I finally got some decent shots of my new aussie acan... it is a "rainbow" acan so when it grows some nice big mature polyps it will have a rainbow mouth... you can see some of it already developing.
This thing has at least 4 babies that are growing by the day!! Literally, I feel like i am watching them grow when I am taking pics. Here you can see the 4 of them surrounding this adult head. One is on the left edge of the adult and the other three are along the top edge of the adult.

So if anyone was interested, here is the surprise!
I am in love. I have always wanted PPE's since the first time I laid my addicted eyes on them! Now, thanks to Alex, I have one VERY large adult and TWO babies on their way!
Here is another picture of my clown, Dale.
Also, I told Eddy that I'd post this picture. This is the coralline growth from my first 4 months.
