I might of got lucky with mine, he was close to 12" and didn't really cause to much trouble. He was definatly the boss though. He would eat anything and everything. The only fish that he would chase a bit was my Moorish Idol, probably because he was kind of bad ass looking.
Cheers

I love the Man Cave sign ... I have the same one in blue lol.

I also really like the powerhead mounts, great job.

I noticed you switched to the Sun Brite's from the Solaris, but I missed why?

Oh, and the tank looks phenomenal ... nothing like the tank going in first and building the rest of the room around it!

I needed more light and could not find another I5 series in Canada. I found 2 in the states, but to get them to my door was pricey.
Overall I really like the sunbrites, although now I wish I could have them connected to the profilux.

I had to laugh on the weekend as I thought of this picture. I brought the trailer home this past weekend and I couldn't get the kids out, we had to play in there for quite a while.

Where do you usually go camping? I'm looking for some places to take the kids this/next summer. We went to Mcdonald Resort on Buffalo Lake last year and it was great for kids and very friendly. It was nice that I wasn't the only one dealing with screaming kids at 6:00 am lol. They do like to nickel and dime you though.

I hear ya, we've had a few driveway campout already. The girls and I do alot of camping during the summer, nice thing is we always go sunday through thursday(benefit of having the summers off). Depending on if the wife wants to come out or not determines the distance traveled. Close by we often go to Carson-Pegasus, Wabinum Lake, Cross lake, Pembina river and Pigeon. Kids are a little older now so we'll venture a little further this year, so far I have Crimson lake, Newell lake, Dinosaur, Brazeau and Chungo creek. I have been to every one except Newell, but I hear it is very nice. If you head up to the Nordegg area let me know, Ill tell you where some of the best fly fishing spots are. I just bought a nice little generator, so looks like bush camping is back on as well, hoping to get out near lodgepole as well this summer.

Newell's nice, or at least it was 20 years ago. We used to go fishing and camping there on a regular basis ( Grew up in Medicine Hat )

Drove right by it on the weekend, If it wasn't for the screaming kids and the insane winds causing me to get 4 mpg out of the truck I may have stopped to have a look..lol

Few coral pictures
 
Not much new, a few new pieces. Life has been far too busy and Ive been away too much lately so Ive just let stuff be and changed the water now and again.
I have to get some more fish as the tank looks bare.
