:whistle:

4:neutral:

0-0.5

2 :biggrin:

soooo?.....how long ya gonna keep us guessing?:wink:

I suppose thats long enough....The winning guess is..........drum roll please.....actually its a tie.....Kien Guessed 6 and Carmen guessed 4.....its actually 5!!!! You both are welcome to come and collect your prize, a frag of pretty much anything you want from my tank....seriously....

Totally surprised that its that low....Tony had me freaked and I thought for sure that my API test kit was giving me an inaccurate test result...also really surprised that the API test kit appears to be bang on....

YES!!!!!!!!! :wink: when can I come over...

Anytime Girly.......anytime:wink:

Does that reading mean it's time for more fish? :mrgreen:

Ya....um......no!......Still waiting for all the planets to align so my skimmer will arrive:razz:(Just teasin Albert).....But in all seriousness, the tank could probably handle the bio-load but its becoming more an issue of available swimming space....the coral doesnt seem to want to give the fish any breaks in that department:mrgreen: I do need to downsize my two big tangs...The regal is so excitable at feeding time that he often swims into stuff(sometimes breaking it off:bad-word:)....He has had a swollen eye a couple times and numerous bumps and bruises....Every time I think I'm gonna get motivated to catch them, I end up not being able to bring myself to do it...I should ask someone else to come and do it for me.....like Catherine!... She's the one that would likely be taking them....

Start selling more frags. :mrgreen:

A small 20-30G frag tank on the opposite end of the tank would be awesome! ;)

I had more of a shallow cube clam tank vision for that corner:twised:.....The g/f would leave me, period!....I already just barely managed to fennagle getting the pony tank in the door....Any more tanks and she's a goner ....hmmmmm:lol: J/K HunnyBunny...

Heres some more pics from the other night

Oh Doug,
What I'd give to have my corals look like yours.


Less taking home stuff for you, and more picking out good stuff for me?? :razz:

Doug's millis would have fit right in during the 70s!

All it takes is a direct feed from RC to your bank account:lol:

Like....wow....Fursure man!

Absolutely LOVE the middle shot! Very cool with the yellow polyps peeking around the clam.

Your camera skills are amazing! I have a weakness for starfish, the top pic is incredible! The last pic just needs a nose and it would make a cute face with the biggest grin.:biggrin:

I heard my name!

We're just waiting for tax time, then I'll be taking my monster refund and going to buy the next tank. Although between now and then I can probably accept a few more additions.

the pirate approves your photo's. i really like that starfish one

thanks ladies:redface:...

Like I said...you may have to come and help me catch them....I always talk myself out of doing it:sad:

Thanks man...the pics look better with two eyes:razz:

This montipora can decide what it wants to do....encrust, plate or branch

and another interesting growth.....some plating coraline algae

Bonsai cap! At least that's a cap that ought to stay at a manageable size.

The tank is looking great Doug! Its been a while since I last seen it. Pictures are great!

:lol:...I dont know Tony....Rick(Globaldesigns)(I think) has one that is quite large...this one is maybe the size of a toonie...

Thanks Brad.....that is easily remedied :biggrin:....and since you liked those ones.....here's some more for you :mrgreen:

The shop got a shipment of "ultra" Maxima clams in(only a handful)....after some re-arranging I managed to squeeze one in...

very nice I ended up grabbing one two !!!! so purdy:lol:

wow great looking clam. good purchase my friend.

Thanks Shawn & Jon ......Ive got no will power when it comes to clams:redface:...

Im kinda excited to go into work today....my skimmer should be there*hopes hopes hopes the shipment got here this week* been a looooong wait....really curious to see if the BKs are indeed the shizz or not... Ive always wondered if people just say that it is, just to justify the cost???....I will be kinda sad to see the Euro-reef go, it is a damn good skimmer.....and No!....its not for sale:lol:...(Ive had threre or four people ask if they could buy it when I get the BK)

Your tank is awesome as always man! Photos are definitely looking great too. That second last pic...did you glue the frag right to the rocks? What do you normally do?

What makes a clam 'ultra'? It's nice for sure but that sort of makes me chuckle.

Thanks Brett:redface:.....Depends on what the frag is on and where I wanna put it....Im not at all afraid to modify the plugs or LR with a dremel to get things mounted properly....

Ultra is just a grade....you know like grade "A" alberta beef.....Ultras usually have far better coloration than regular grade clams

How do you use a dremel to tool the LR? Isn't it underwater?

:lol: Ya that probably wouldnt work too well huh?....I more meant that if the frag is on LR then I will sometimes shape the rock to get it to sit right....although I have taken apart the rock work and removed rock from the tank to tweak it a bit...whatever it takes to get things looking right.

It's okay, Most men don't...

My frag of this is SUPER resilient.. It hasn't lost an ounce of color, all thru its time in my 30G, the tank transfer, and its time in the new tank... it has looked as purple and green as the day I got it!!

Definitely going to be a centerpiece.. :mrgreen: Tank looks great (man that must get old hearing that.. hahaha)
