Josh, I can only ask you over so many times to take pics before people here will start spreading rumors about "us" too......and..... I cant have that:lol:

Does one buy tickets for this sort of event!:razz:

Sure......Front & center, I'm assuming Leah?:razz:

Sorry for the hijack Carmen...:redface:

Correct me if I am wrong here, but would it not be back and center :wink:

OMG!....now, I cant believe you said that!

LMAO :lol:

Well this has become quite an interesting thread!:lol: Just NASTY!:wink:

You guys CRACK ME UP!:lol:

leah you are a perv and Carmen you can stop snickering in the back too. you are close to be a perv too.

Ya!.....what the guy with the machine gun said!.....thanks Mike...

I m still waiting to hear how Leah's skimmers are doing she hasnt responsed yet. probably still mad at me for cutting into her trim on the tank ..Sorry:sad: but the skimmer does look pretty stellar thou. in her 95 gal wave tank

Well, atleast I'm only close to being a perv!:lol:

Well I added a 2 bulb T5 fixture to supplement the MH. I just haven't liked the color with just the MH's. Too white even abit yellowish. I find the coral colors somewhat dull.
T5's have added some much needed blue...perhaps abit too much and I will play with the bulb choices later. But...I am much happier with the colors. The coral colors appear much brighter and the greens, even oranges are much brighter. Ofcourse I have a hard time trying to capture the true colors with my camera settings but this does basically show the difference.
(Thanks Kev for getting me a fixture so quickly!)

Just realized my GSP rock fell down in the back when I looked at the pics...damn...guess I gotta go get wet to fix it...

Here's a couple before and after pics:

Looks good Carmen. It`s tough with the curved glass finding a light that you`re happy with as nothing fits quite right. All my SPS are a bit in the shade in the front where you see them the most, thus not as nice of colours. Speaking of which, when you getting those SPS....:biggrin:

Thanks Scott. I will try a couple sps...soon...:wink:
Having abit of a cyano issue and still wanting to add another K4 for more flow so perhaps after that I'll throw in an easy sps or something and see how it goes!
I modded 2 of my Koralia 3's to increase the output some. I think it helped but am still needing more.
I definately have alot of space on top to fill, don't I?:smile:

Carmen,

I have an extra Koralia powerhead, I think it is a 5. It is rather big though.

Leah

Great photo's, I like the blue glow as well, its Girly!!! :biggrin:

Girly for the Girly!:biggrin::wink:

Ya sort of a feminine kick to the reef tank experience!:lol::wink:

(How big are the K5's? Maybe that would be perfect? I'll look into them ok)

Looks great Carmen, like the aquascaping. Do you want to come do mine in the new tank when it is ready, lol. It's only 18" deep & 22" wide so you should be able to reach all of it without a ladder,lol. Oh ya I did tell you it was 8' long.

Well that sorta sounds fun! I would barely even have to get wet! Not like this one! 8' would be so neat to aquascape....so much room!!

Ya it will be cool, have to figure out how i am going to do it. Need to figure out if I am going to use pcv pipe or acyrlic rod's to keep the rock where I want it. How did you do your's? Is it just stacked?

I see you have a flame angel, am I right. I would like to have one, is there any thing I should know about them? Are they reef safe and compatable with the fish i already have?

Colors do look better Girly....could just leave the gsp where it is......it'll grow back there:wink:

Mine is just stacked...I will epoxy it to stablize it in spots...I am procrastinating a little on that.:redface:

Flame Angel is my Favorite fish!(Well I say that about alot of them:wink:) They are 50/50 as far as reefsafe goes. Some are coral nippers - LPS usually so it is a chance I take for the love of the fish. They get along with most fish but can get some real attitude. Usually one of the bossier fish in the tank and can harrass newcomers. I haven't looked up which fish you have but I would think they get along with anything other than other dwarf angels...sometimes more than one type can be in one tank...a large tank perhaps... Great fish!

Thinkin it would grow anywhere but it's usually up on that rock and more in view under the bridge. I'll get to it...procrastinating again...just like cleaning the glass at the bottom, epoxying the rock and corals, getting that mojano near the bottom...all the stuff that requires me getting wet...:redface:

Oh just suck it up princess and get in there!!!! lol Get a little wet. You know it is almost like a wet t-shirt contest, a little water sometimes cold and uncomfortable BUT WORTH EVERY MINUTE, LMAO

*shudders*

:lol::redface:Princess? Do I look like a Princess? :neutral: Come on...I can get wet and dirty with the best of em... Not too many Princesses out there cleaning skimmer cups for fun on Saturdays! :lol:
Procrastinator...yes...Princess...no...Girly well maybe a little:redface::wink:

Cinderella, Cinderella clean the skimmer's Cinderella, LMAO rolling on the floor. A little fisty tonight are me , lol.

Carmen, I tried looking for the box but must have tossed it. I also went on line and tried to find it but can't, err! It is all black if that helps any.

* Fishytime and Grizz I would love to comment but I have vowed to behave and it is gonna kill me. :twised::wink::razz:...........:sad:

Leah

Stand back people.....she's gonna blow!!!!!:mrgreen:

Leah...you know you can't be a good girl for very long...it must be killing you!:lol::wink:

:microwav: :bolt: or :angel:

Carmen that Powerhead that Leah has the korlia 5 its freaking huge, i think that it would be good may be a maxi jet modded one perhaps like a 400 or 600

the tank is looking stellar to Carmen the colors are excellent and the flame really adds to you tank. love the kelvin color too.

Oh come on now Leah just a little comment wont hurt,lol. Nothing wrong with a little wet t-shirt contest is there, I like them, lol.

I am trying to show some level of maturity here.:lol: Just to prove I have some.:redface: And poor Carmen, look what you guy's have done to her Tank Journal, she may never forgive you.:wink::twised:

Oh sure she will..... I hope,lol. Just in case:

WOW Carmen that is looking REALLY REALLY GREAT, I love the the way you have done the LR that is some talent you have there. The Bridge is a cool idea and the lighting, well what can I say about that lighting. Much crisper with the blue hue makes everything pop.:focus::twised::twised:

:behindsofa::wink2: Don't:banplease: Carmen did you find anything out on the powerhead?

I seen the tank in person the other day....it looks truly amazing....I think I need to find one of those half circle units. oh and nope...there was no wet T-shirt contest......

Ya.. if you are needing something up in the Korallia 5 range I think you are better off looking elsewhere. Starting at Korlia 5 (6,7 &8), they are all labeled as Korallia Magnum and for good reason, they are frakking huge! For the same (or even smaller) footprint you could get something with much better flow like a Tunze 6100 series or Vortech. In fact, if you got one of those you might find that they can even replace two or three of your existing powerheads. :biggrin:

Ya kien, It is "frakking" large and I do agree that Vortech is the way to go! :biggrin:

qft!
