Looking forward to the new FTS when the hacksaw goes away =)

Yup, the saltynuts does grow in a V. It was totally shading my Abrol. The big stag was not the Abrol. I actually don't know what it was.

Here's the sad part, after the removal of those colonies, I didn't have room for a single frag to come up from the basement. I had to to some rescuing of others shaded corals and some moving around and I even had to get rid of two colonies and move them into the frag tank. Looks like I'll have to get rid of quite a bit more.

Another sad thing is that I forgot to take a full tank shot before the major removal. I don't even have a recent FTS

. That saltynuts was an inch from the water surface.

Damn Dez, I knew I should have come up today ( Tuesday ) instead of tomorrow ( Wednesday ) I would have helped clean up that forest, would have even brought up my own coral axe

What are you up to Wednesday? I will be in your area, I mean your rental building.

Here's a FTS from your living room side I took when I was there helping you change frag tanks.

Wow am I jealous. Your pulling out full colonies because you are running out of room and all I want my frags to do is grow into small colonies at this point.

Some day....

Grizz, thanks for the FTS. By Wednesday do you mean today? Give me a shout if you still have my number. If it's sunny today I'll be slip n sliding with the kids in the backyard.

Badazz, it gets to the point where the corals all start killing each other by shading, touching. And then you can't move anything cause everything is stuck together. And once you move or unlodge anything, you won't be able to put it back cause it won't balance or stay and no amount of putty will hold it cause it's too big. I had to remove 2 smaller colonies after Parker left cause I couldn't put them back.

I did tell Parker that you'd be mad

. Take it up with him

. Better yet, I'm sure he'd sell you Frags of the colonies he got, ha ha.

All kidding aside, there's lots Johnny. I wasn't quite expecting to harvest thy much last night, but my hands were in there and I was determined to get some corals "unshaded"

Good thing no one on this board knows or remembers where I live, he has to find me before he can take it up with me!

Thanks again Dez!

I know people who know people! lol. Unfortunately, most of those people are just people... so I wouldn't worry too much!

Dez however... I know where you live. MUAHAHAHAHAH!

I'll likely be in town in the next 2-3 weeks...

Glad I didn't scrap that pic, it was not the best as not all your lights were on but it gave you an idea of what it looked like.
