Damn......... I really need to come see that tank sometime. I am still collecting equipment to start my first salty tank. You are truly an inspiration.

I collected used equipment over a period of years before even starting this tank. If you are patient, good deals will come. I am the 3rd owner of my closed loop pump and it's still going. My wavebox was used and my lights were 6 years old.....so just be patient

I played around with my phone camera last night and snapped this quick video. Hope that you enjoy. The quality isn't as great as I thought it'd be, but what do you expect from a cell phone right? The colours don't come out right and everything looks pretty washed out. Well, hope you enjoy.

Brett, not sure which coral you're talking about. What's the time in the video of the appearance of that coral? Thanks for the props

I think I've attached a photo. Never used canreef's photo upload before.

That's the shag stag. That coral was in the very first batch of corals that I bought for the tank. It took forever to colour up and start growing. I was brown for the first 6 months, now it's a darker green with blue tips and sort of pink coralites.
