whats your bulb combo? Love the greens you have in the tank. Normally i HATE green for almost every damn coral is green or brown but you got the good greens :D

Well, I guess that the answer depends on which pic you're refering to. The 2 most recent pics are of my old tank before we moved to Fort Mac. The lights were 2x kz Coral Light II, 2x KZ Fiji Purple, and 2x KZ Super Blue. The pics before that are of the new tank whick I'm running 9 bulbs (broke the 10th). 4 New Gen, 3 Super Blue, and 2 Fiji Purple. The other bulb that broke was a fiji purple... I'm kind of leaning towards another New Gen to replace it.

Well, I sold a few pieces of equipment today. One of them is the lights that I had on my 55. Since they would not have fit my new tank or the frag tank very well, I just purchased a cheap ebay LED fixture for the frag tank. This fixture apparently got the Dez seal of approval, so... I'm in! Hopefully it works out well.

wow it looks great. You have lots of room now to let your corals grow in. Keep in touch and when your tanks settles in i would love to come take a look and ill bring some frags for you.

As far as I'm concerned, she's settled in. Everthing that took a hit from the swap is in recovery mode now. I'm actually getting better polyp extension in my milles than I ever had before!! lol. Anytime you want to come check it out, I'm ready.

Well, since I'm STILL waiting on my 6105's to show up, and my waveboxes are still out of commission, I am now runnning an old style mp40 for the time being. Once the wavebox problem is fixed, and the 6105's are here, this will be running in my frag tank... but for now, it's getting me out of a jam.

Thanks to Asmodeus for getting this to me ASAP!!

PS Real men ride Suzuki. And 4 strokes!! HAHAHAHAH!

Well, we're on vacation in bc right now, and had the chance to stop in at oceanic, and j&l so far. At oceanic, I put my name on a 'chilli pepper monti'. It's awesome.... Kind of a mintgreen with bright red polyps! I went to bed that night thing about it, so I had to call back and hold it.... We'll grab it on our way back. J&L.... Wow! phase don't tell my source how much I spent there! Got a majestic angel juvi, a PAIR of dracula shrimp gobies, some shrimp, a rainbow monti frag, and hopefully a few more thumbs to come in the shipment they expect on wednesday! On the way back, we'll stop in at ocean aquatics! My wallet it's happy that we don't live here! Lol

Sorry kids, no pics. Still on vacation, everyone crashed, and I'm hopped up on monsters. Had the opportunity today to hit ocean aquatics.... Sweet store! Good thing that I don't live in this area! Between the big 3.... I'd be broke! (they've already drained me pretty good!) J & L... Wow. That is all. From oceanic I picked up a couple of cultured colonies the nicest being a yellow stag with pick tips! From oceanic... Some high end stuff from the states. Some pink zoas w/green skirts (don't remember the name.... Then a chili monti, a something our other bonsai, and a birds of paradise, thanks to paul for the hook up on that one.... It was a mix up that he really didn't have to fix.

Fantastic stores! Nuff said. I'll post some pics when I'm back and settled in a little.

These first two are of one of my favorites. Colored up REALLY nicely since the upgrade. Trust me, the pics do not do it justice.

These 2 are of a Sunset Mille I picked up from OC. It use to be green and pink, but it's turned all hot pink. Fine by me!

Snappy's Convexa... still hoping to get the really nice reds that this one is famous for. I've fragged it a couple times and have it in different spots in the frag tank, so hopefully I can figure out the secret!!
