Great shots, that last tang is a beaut! :biggrin:

Anytime, it looks even nicer in person. I have a small frag of it already or I could probably cut a bigger one for you.

Lol those are some cute fish! Did they perch on your cleaning magnet for those shots?

That acan is pretty bling too!

Ya, they were both posing on the algae magnet that night.

Thanks guys! Speaking of drool-worthy, I almost forgot to post of picture of my latest upgrade.

Very nice is that a 250 deluxe?

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Skimmer


[IMG]file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/MIKE&T%7E1/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot.png[/IMG]looks like a TOTM

300 Deluxe external.

my gorsh:surprise:..... that skimmer is a beast!.....and I STILL think your tank is FTOTM material

Still needs some work and some time but it'll get there...

+1

Definately TOTM material

The tanks looking beautiful sean, I miss coming over and looking at it hah. I'll send you a link to where i'll be posting my great barrier reef shots when I go next week.

Where the hell are you gonna fit that? It's awesome!

alright this is long past due for an update.

have a fts for us?

+1

Inquiring minds want to drool.

Just go look at an old pic, close your eyes, and a few inches on to all the corals and you have your updated FTS....

If you guys could refrain from asking for new pics that would be great. I need to borrow his camera to get some pics of my build going. I cant find the battery for my camera :lol:

I know, I was just looking at this thread the other day thinking an update is overdue. Didn't realize it has been so long since I posted in this thread. I will try to get some new pics up this weekend.

You should know by now I won't just go away. I'm annoying and persistent =) How's this weekend lookin' ?

Only a week late, here you go Brett. I still suck with the camera but here are a few pics so you can see how things are looking these days. I've moved some coral around in the last few months and there will be more re-arranging ahead as would like to somehow make room for a bunch of frags I have in the frag tank that are still needing homes in the DT.

Longnose hawk at his usual perch

One of my favourite fish, had him for over 3 years now!

Frag tank
http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/p...0/7630fa51.jpg

Thanks man it's looking super sweet. Besides the growth those tangs look great too.

Is the hawk perched in fakeBerry? Do you have any shrimp in with him?

Things look great!! I still have that nice favia from you but I lost the Pearlish Berry Stag I got as well. Next time you frag it let me know, I would love to buy another piece!

Thanks, I'm really happy with the tangs. I've had 5 of the 6 tangs together for over 3 years now and haven't had any aggression issues so I hope it continues that way. I'm planning an upgrade long term, so if they all get along for a couple more years I'll be happy.

Ya, thats the fakeberry he is in. Thats not a very good pic of the coral though, colour is far better looking top down. I have a cleaner, fire, and coral banded shrimp in the the long nose and flame hawks and haven't had a problem yet. The shrimp are all large and were added before the fish. I'd be scared to try add any more shrimp now though, between the hawks, wrasses and triggers I'm sure they'd get picked off.

Glad the favia is doing well, that is the only time it has ever been fragged. The frags I currently have of the pearlberryish are spoken for but I will be making a few more so let mw know when you'll be in Calgary next and we can line something up.

did someone say upgrade?!?!

An upgrade is still a couple years out. But it's never to early to start planning right?

What do you think tastes better skimmate or kokanee?

Never tasted skimmate but I'm fairly certain it would be better than glacier fresh Sasquatch **** !
