I have never seen a brain with that kind of color, great find.

 

[Phischy]

Looks even better when it's all big and happy. It's still kinda pissed off in this pic. Yea, I lucked out. Tomorrow is a big frag swap, lets see what I can't pick up!

 

[Jennie]

Very nice, can't wait to see what you pick up at the frag swap!

 

[Phischy]

And here is 'ze brain fat and very happy.

I picked up a Black Perc at the store recently, had to wait 3 damn months for one of those.

Frag swap was a bust, the guys trading showed up and hour early to 'set up' at which time they made their trades. Then for the people who came later w/ cash, there wasn't much left. No real worries, sorta blew my budget with the brain and fish anyway.

At least that's what I heard, I actually didn't make it. had a big Aikido seminar to attend and after it was over on Sunday I was dead ass tired. Saw the movies Ultra Violet (HORRIBLE) and Running Scared (Fairly Good, very interesting plot twists).

What is that in the lower left corner of the brain? It kinda looks like a bristlewrom but not quite, is it the arm of some kind of starfish or what? Nice looking coral too.

 

[drty811]

looks like a bristle star to me.....could be wrong though

 

[reefman23]

Great looking brain...nice shots.

[Phischy]

Yeah that's my poor bristle star. He keeps losing limbs. I think King Kong has been beating him up, but kong is getting traded out, he causes too much damage. Adios Kong, you'll be missed as the freak hermit crab, but everything else will be happier and live longer.

Just added a HOB refugium to my tank this weekend. Got it off a local guy for $25, approx 20" long, 4" deep and 12" tall. Pretty big. Had to buy a light/rio pump and then spent 2hrs putting the pump behind my rock wall to eliminate a dead spot. Aquascaping is such a pain.

but it's got rubble in it from my main tank, cheato donated by a local guy (traded him some homebrew) and a new 18w 10k light on it!

Next upgrade will be a Mini-G skimmer to replace my CPR Bak Pak II.

 

[reefman23]

Sounds good, Phischy. Hey, have you looked into the Octopus NW110? I have heard much better stuff about them than I have the Mini G. Here is a link. Almost the same quality as the ER skimmers... http://www.marinesolutionsinc.com/catal ... ucts_id=46

they use cast acrylic as opposed to extruded.

I only have 20" of clearance in my stand, so that skimmer at 22" in height won't work, one of the reasons the Mini-G is what I was shooting for. Plus the mini-g is overkill for my tank anyway, so I'm sure it'll work just fine.
Thanks for the info.
