110g Mixed Reef V2

[The Grizz]

Skimmers are one of those things I just really don't understand because of all the contradictions.

[fishytime]

apparently my math sucks and Im a little slow......30" tall stand......30" - 1 1/2" (steel frame tube)= 28 1/2"...... 28 1/2 - 3/4" (for plywood) = 27 3/4..... 27 3/4 - 1/2" (foam)= 27 1/4........27 1/4 - 1/2" (bottom pane of glass in the sump( Im assuming)) = 26 3/4...... vertex alpha 300 = 27"...........not to mention the 1/2 of clearance needed to get the cup off............vertex isnt gonna fit.....order cancelled.....next size down for the vertex cones is rated at up to 300g.......gonna be too small for my needs......the thought briefly crossed my mind to go with a cheaper brand, but I knew I would likely regret that later......sooooo......I went with what was my dream skimmer for this tank.....ordered up a shorty BK SM300 rated for up to 750g......Im justifying it by telling myself that "one year down the road Im gonna be sorry and wish that I had spent the extra coin".....



.........*sigh*...........freakin urchins






I did a little trade with a fellow canreefer......I flipped him the birdsnest and he gave me the corky finger

It seems like your new urchin is getting in with the wrong crowd and following your old urchin's bad habits.

I lost a super nice frag from Snappy tonight ("lost" as in, it fell off where it was glued and I can't find it.) My only hope at this point IS one of the urchins finds it for me before it's a goner!!!

... I'll rehome your purplish urchin if his frag movin' ways is too much for ya

what kind of frag?......I learned my lesson in V1 not to put any frags where they can potentially fall behind the rockwork......lost two or three NICE frags before I clued in.....

if things had worked out to where you came over for those frags you may have ended up with my multicolour (sensei).....if I could find him that is.....

have you ever had one of those corals that every single person that has seen your tank has bugged you for a frag of???....."are you fragging that one?"......"well when you do frag it, keep me in mind"...... my most requested coral would be my granny.....recently someone was over picking up a frag and saw it.....he jokingly pushed me pretty hard to frag it and I didnt budge on my "Im not fragging it yet" stance.....I got a PM from said coral junkie this morning with an offer that I couldnt refuse( the gent at one point offered me his wife..... (which I declined, for the record).....so I fragged it today.....ended up with a couple frags....a larger one that will go to Mr. Pushy (j/k)...and a smaller one that will need a place to call home.....problem is the list grew so long for this one, I cant remember who was at the top of it......someone in another thread said something about a frag auction.....that would be somewhat pretentious tho methinks (although fun)......anyway, I thought I would snap a pic of it before I snapped it up.....
