Thanks, I'm starting to myself, just wish things would grow faster:biggrin:

The Grizz 08-26-2010 06:00 PM

Hey Derek, tank is looking great :biggrin: Nice equipment as well.

Can you tell me if this Bangaii is your male or female? I have compared this one to mine and they look like they are the same but I don't know it is a male or female.

Trocar61 08-26-2010 07:06 PM

its hard to tell...I started out with the three of them and 2 of them paired up and started picking on this guy. But really I don't know what it is. the other 2 look the same until they started to breed then the male was easy to pick out. cause they hold the eggs in the mouth. Sorry I'm not much help to ya.

Trocar61 08-31-2010 02:32 AM

A few new additions
 
Well took a few new shots tonight of some things I picked up over the last month I guess.:biggrin:

NEW VORTECH mp40ES Now I have 2.
 
Well just ordered my second mp40 from Kevin at Red Coral, thanks again Kevin.
Cant wait to see this synced up with the other one. Should I have them at opposite end or the same side? And what settings do most of you run yours on? just curious to see what people are using. Oh I pick it up on Saturday:lol:

Thanks for any comments.:mrgreen:

Would you believe I used the new Iphone 4 just for the last pic i posted. it takes nicer pictures then my 600.00 dollar camera.:wink:

Skimmerking 12-27-2010 03:15 PM

I remember back in 2008 I was over in Afghanistan Doug was watching my tank and he was cranking up the Phosban. and that took it away.

Trocar61 03-05-2011 04:45 AM
