Greg, you may have too go back a few dozen pages ......I think there may be some reef stuff back there some where....

heres a freebie "pokerstar" monti frag that Kieth(24storm) gave me(thanks again mang!)......its currently going through that "OMG! you touched me and moved me you bastard.....Im gonna pout now" phase that most montis seem to go through when you frag them.....





Little Walt Smith acro frag thats starting to color up in the tips



"The Clash"



a crappy picture color wise but ......wee small watermelon favia frag that I snagged in E-town this w/e



another w/e E-town score.......Lava Chalice.....and dont ask how much.......have you ever seen that Ikea commercial?....the one where the lady is running through the parking lot screaming "Start the car!....Start the car!".....that what I was like when I left the store

aw man!......you weren't supposed to notice the bubble algae

ya that favia is pretty sweet......one of my faves for sure......had always wanted a piece and finally found some......


well I mentioned before that I bought an I-Box nano......after some humming and hawing about it for awhile...... I came to the conclusion that I spend to many weekends away to leave a pico running unattended.......as it stands now, I can go to E-town for the w/e and pretty much leave the system without worrying about it.....I just over fill the sump with r/o make sure the r/o reservoir is full and its not that big of a deal for the fish not to eat for a day or two.....I also turn off the skimmer, just in case.....Im worried that a pico tank might not take to well to not being topped up for two or three days......................................... so............................................I decided Ima gonna plumb it in to the main system......is that cheating?......is it still considered a pico tank if it has a 150g sump?.....I brought home some 1/2" plumbing parts and starting looking at the space in the back chamber and I think I can do a herbie in this little tank......both drains and the return will be drilled through the back and the return will use the existing, although slightly enlarged hole(normally I dont much care for an enlarged hole)) for the stock return.......Im thinking I'll use a power-head of some make with around 250 gph for a return pump.....after head loss, that should be more than enough flow for a 2.5g tank.......I need some parts so I can see if I really can make this happen.....the overflow area is a tight little space,(much prefer tight little spaces, in some cases) so I may need to get my hands on a few more pieces to see if I can make it work.....stay tuned

well......in a way it was sortta a bad impulse buy........but plumbing it in would be a cool solutiton and a good save.......

A. Plana


Tyree A. Convexa.....still holding its intense color



have you ever taken care of something for some one and then got really attached to that something???.....Kevin might have a hard time getting this back from me
