For sure! My theory is, what's the point of spending thousands on a set up if your not willing to shell out a few hundred for high end candy? I think everyone should treat themselves!

I have to agree with u 100% on this. I've seen pics of Mybe 15-20k+ setups with what looks like $50 total of corals n I think to myself hmmm how does that work lol. Great choices in frags man. Lmk when that kush berry is rdy for fragging. It looks sick lol

Very nice frags, but you're going to run out of room once they start growing! That's the dilemma I have right now. Lots of frags I would like to buy but nowhere to put them in my DT...

And a bit of advice on that,... don't have any mushrooms or palys in your tank with your SPS. They will take over, and crowd out the SPS, at least on the lower levels. And no way to get rid of them, trust me, I have tried everything. They are a worse plague than aiptasia, valonia, GHA, or anything else that I have encountered.

Anyway, good luck, you certainly have the making of a great looking tank.

Thanks! I hear you on the softies and palys. Zero plans for adding them. I do have 4 pieces of LPS that will probably be removed once the sps starts growing in. I just had to have the rastas and I am also considering some utter chaos and pink hippos too, but I want to secluded them on their own island or tree. I think I am setting myself up for an upgrade lol! The wife is starting to show a lot of interest so hopefully that will work in my favour!

I too fear my Euphylias and zoas attacking sps so I kept them right in he middle of my tank on their own rocks far away from sps. Early will save lots of headaches in the future.

Got a couple new pieces from the Fragbox group buy. Frost Bite (front left), and Wasabi Tortusa (front right). Again, sorry about the colours, just a quick pic with the phone.



Believe it or not, my new favourite piece is Ram3500's Forest Fire Digi. I'm in awe... thanks Ian!



Now before you kids start freaking out about the next couple pics, understand first that I am just fostering the Naso for now. He's gorgeous!
It would seem a few fish found their way into my tank over the weekend and I am happy to give them a place to crash. I'm thinking the Kole can stay and become my premier specimen.

Nice to see things are coming along !! You have a lot of nice frags keep the pictures coming

[WarDog]

YOU'VE GOT MAIL!

I wonder what it could be?

All the way from Quebec in 7 days and not a mark on the box!

Impressive Canada Post... impressive!



BOOYAA!!

Now we're talkin'!



I could have made my own battery backup, but electronics DIY is one of my least favourite things... and this comes all assembled and purdy and ready to mount. I'm pretty happy shipping was free from ReefSupplies, because this thing weighs a ton!

I will also be doing a thread documenting the install of the QD, including before and after testing with a sound meter. Here's a preview: 3 feet from the MP40wES running surf crest at 50%.



Thanks for looking!
