And there is an 8ft by 3ft tank in my future so Doofus won't need your 225g Lance

360 gals. WOW. If I get a mask & snorkel for Molly, can she join Doofus in your big new tank? You would be the only member on Canreef with a dogfish. I'll even throw in a lifetime supply of underwater kibble.

I wouldn't put it past Molly to vocalize underwater without drowning




...so no

Coming up next week with Felicia & Irene to visit Marie's tank, I mean Marie

If either of you (Marie or Lance) need me to pick up anything to transport up, let me know asap.

Remember, I'm traveling with a baby so space will be limited, so no 8' x 3' tanks.

Marie, When I put my reef back in my 90g, I wired up Mike,s Lumenarc reflectors, as compared with my simpler normal reflectors. Using the same 12K Reeflux bulbs and the same duel Galaxy ballast, all 250w.

I have noticed a lot more intensity with the reflectors. Wish I could measure it. Running shorter or staggered lighting periods, plus have them fairly high. My acro,s are responding well but a purple cap had lightened considerably and of all things, two different milli colonies are showing some signs of light stress. Yet a green cap, higher than the purple looks much better.

A smaller milli colony fragged from one of them but on the bottom of the tank has extemely nice colors in comparison.

Of course a bunch of different colored mushrooms ae just loving it.

Weird, is all I can say.

WOW Marie...that looks great!


I just upgraded my lighting and it's amazing the color you get! And yeah, I understand the sunglasses..this is comparing my old lighting to my new lighting....I watched really really closely for any color change in any of the corals too...but my light was put fairly high up. Hopefully yours have a full recovery! I gotta get over there one day to see your tank.

Strangly enough the bleaching in my tank was kind of random as well

Here's a pic as the tank is now under cloudy conditions.

Thanks Anthony, for the offer, but I'm good right now. While you're here, if you have the time I'd like to meet you and your family. (Maybe coffee or something)

Hey Anthony I could use a few packets of Nori...maybe even 4 or 5 of them? That shouldn't take up too much room
