Nice looking at 84" of length. I'm trying to imagine what my 72"L will look like from the right side viewing panel. sigh...

so today i did my first attempt at cutting the acros from the base plug. i was bloody nervous thinking i was going to destroy these pieces. i dont know if people already know this, but i figure out today an easier way to removed the acros from the plugs. instead of cutting it off with shears, i used a flat head screwdriver and at the base of the acro i wedge the screwdriver in and wiggled it which popped the acro out of the plug. the cool part is you dont end up killing the base of the flesh because the skeleton that was in the plug can now be used to glue to the rock. it worked for these anyway. anyhow here is some pics of their new locations









these last 2 pics are of a piece i 'borrowed' from nicky at HR. she had this piece on hold in the tanks and after annoying her enough she agreed to sell it to me but on the basis that i HAVE to give her the first frag. thanks nicky

I just HATE those plugs. I guess they are a necessary evil. Nice job mounting those. In some cases, I can't even see any cement at all.

i finally got my hands on a super pink birdnest. its a frag and in awesome shape. the seriatopora is got to be one of my favorite pieces. while at the store a friend of mine found this pocillipora that had green polyps. i hope the picture catches it because this piece is so cool. it is peach base and neon green polyps

so i've mentioned before how my tank hits 83.5 degrees by the end of the day so today i bought another GHL fan assy but this time i got the 5 fan assy. i mounted it in my canopy and within 2 hours it lowered my tank temp 1 degree. i also picked up 2 wild colonies although the pictures do not do justice for the colors in these pieces. i'm hoping they have some good potential. there was another little frag i could not leave, it has the biggest PE i've seen in an acro yet.
