I am debating about ordering that Odyssea 48" 2x250watt Metal Halide unit to try out my little theory. its only $200us and at that price I can still keep the T5's laying around.
Go for the combo Laurier!! haha
Water change?? What is that? haha. You are correct. I am definitely guilty... But i swear I will change!! well eventually anyways, probably not anytime within the next few months.
I agree that it is not a 'requirement' to supplement or add anything really fancy in terms of additives. In fact i havent even dosed my 2 part in months. Like Kien said, even before dosing, his stuff looked awesome, and the proof is in the pictures he posted. Which I might add they do look amazing, great colors and very healthy looking SPS for sure Kien, good job! Maybe after seeing your tank thread or even seeing it in person I will get up some motivation to do something more. I have a 450gallon tank in the works right now. It will be built in the basement of my new house, the tank builder is putting it together in house of course haha. You should come and help me with the exterior! I showed my fiance your thread and she was like "hey isnt that what you were going to do but with black panels from Ikea?!" I was liek yes, I think great minds must think alike haha

Yeah, um .. wow.

Kinda makes me want to just throw in the towel actually. Forget it, it's not worth even continuing in the hobby. Oh, but you'll have to put up with me bunking down in your living room so I can just look at your tank whenever I want to. No big deal. I won't eat too much of your food or anything and I don't stink as much as some. I can bring over the occasional Bolsa too if you want.

PS. Socket programming is just plain idiotic man. Idiotic. Id. I. Ot. Ic. !!! My eyes are completely bugged out. Your videos make for a site for sore eyes today. Thanks for sharing them. Enjoy lunch tomorrow if you go.

Thanks, you're welcome over anytime. Just don't take home my orchids. :-)

Since you brought it up, I was thinking about DNA connections more at dinner time (i know bad habit). I was wondering what would happen to the connections socket if all remotes are OFF SCAN but the remote is still sending data.. would we run into the same failure mode.. i wonder.. anyway just thinking out loud. If i go i will make mine twice as spicy in your honour.

you deserve some sort of crown or at least a generous slap on the ass for posting those masterpiece videos! It's obvious to me that before you even had so many beautiful corals you had one hell of a rock pile!

Things I loved the most:

- you took us IN your tank
- the cool porcelain crab
- all the nooks and crannies in your rock made much more visible from above
- overhang heaven!

Man if you're EVER down with sleepovers again...pm me.

Just went through the whole thread again. Once again, amazing.

Btw, did you luck out with the structure of the running beams (supporting beams) and your tank sits in a couple of them. I'm debating about upgrading and would love to to a room divider, very inspiring.
