Its actually the offsets that serve no purpose and we want to re-route. The ducting is from the previous furnace, and wasn't changed out when a new one was installed in November 2007. If we can downsize, or re-route the ducting, then that would be great, if not, we'll find an alternate work around.

My bristletooth tang recently started developing what looks to be the beginning of streamers


I also removed the clove polyps from one colony yesterday:






A few colony updates:

Updated FTS


New green digi from Nixon


New goodies






A little bit more of a close up of the right side of the tank


I think I MIGHT be able to fit two more colonies, and maybe a bunch of small frags, and then I will be out of space. I need more rock, and regret turning down a recent opportunity to obtain some.

Looking good Catherine!

I really like the look of this piece, you are lucky to aquire such a gem!!

[michika]

I'll definitely look two-part if I decide not to put the reactor online, or if I can't put it back online. Thank you for the suggestions.

I turned the lights on to pick up a couple of pieces that had fallen today. Just after the lights came on I got a quick view of some great polyp extension on this piece.


This piece is spreading out quite rapidly all of a sudden. I had to move both the above colony, and the orange digi out of its way.


The birdsnest looks amazing. It has a green sheen to it, and that purple you see, it actually looks like that in real life, its not a camera figment.

Alright some pre-cleaning photos. The tank needs a bit of an overhaul before I head away next week.







MHs only, which is more realistic


A comparison; with T5s:


MHs only


Re-arranged right side to provide more space for the growing cap
