New FTS ... 8.14.09 - camera captures none of the colors sad.gif ... Makoy where are you with that awesome camera you got? biggrin.gif

Quick tips for right now: 1) turn off flash 2) adjust white balance to fluorescent or whatever your camera has that makes the light look closer to white. For example, the incandescent setting will make it look REALLY off.

I have to make my way into the city with my camera apparently. David for real this tank keeps getting better and better (As do all of your tanks). I cant wait to see some growth on the PM and that tabling acro is by far the GNARLIEST piece for the buck. Ridiculous.

Thanks Tim biggrin.gif You will be getting a frag of that baby not to worry wink.gif.

Ahhhh ... Manhattan Reefs ... where everyone tries to make money off of everyone else ... so I sold my tank ... fine ... it's out of my apt. I am happy ... I do nice things for people (which for MR is a RARE thing) and what do they do ... they take it ... and try to flip it for more money ... lol ... He hasn't even had the tank for 2 weeks and it's up for sale for $700 ... because it was painted glossy black now ... Oh MR ... how can we live without you? Lying cheating website ... needs to be renamed to Manhattan Marketplace ... since that's all it's worth at this point! Not even ... alot of the tanks are infested with bugs and other sh!t I don't want in my tank ... really ... it's pathetic ... the site that people want everything for NOTHING ... not because they want to enjoy this hobby ... but to screw everyone else over and make more money ... lame ... lame ... lame ... Nazi mods that bash nice members ... if I wanted that I would be on RC. Enough ranting ... said what I needed to say. lol

Yeah exactly ... I am glad it's out of the house indeed ... I am not really pissed at him selling it for more ... it's just how this hobby is being treated MORE and MORE ... it's disappointing ... Everyone is fragging up corals to the point where they have nothing left ... just to make money ... it's ridiculous ... It's just funny ... not even having the tank 2 weeks ... he thought he would go back and flip it (not you Rick wink.gif ) for more ... stupid!!!

Just did a w/c with that new Brightwells salt ... I can't wait to see what the tank looks like this morning (hopefully not dead ... wink.gif ).

ap123
So how does the tank look with the water change from the new salt?

I'm askeered to open that link! scarry01.gif


***OK, I opened it. ohmy.gif but I'm not reading 21 pages of blah blah blah. Was he the only vendor booted? huh.gif What the heck are they thinking?

i think he was a noob,

but i love how the mod immediately swooped to collect his "fee"

Everyone is welcome here wink.gif

Thanks NRF ... Yeah ... the MR drama continues ... as usual ... that site is getting worse and worse ... people are getting cheaper and cheaper ... used equipment seems to be selling more than retail prices ... lol ... I am telling you ... it's a real joke! Vendors are buying from members and then going back to their stores and selling for more. So happy with have N-R ... seriously.

I joined nr & mr about the same time. My post count here at nr is 90x higher than at mr.

I got turned off to mr cause I felt it was full of rich asshats with big tanks. Where as nr is more my style (not poor, but everyday people) with sensible sized tanks.

Also there is way more information here than any other site I have visited.

Btw, what's a good all around "single" supliment/additive (aside from love, my tank gets that enough) that I can add?
Zeot & beer dosing is out of the question.

LoL ... Rich asshats? No way ... just guys with their priorities in the wrong places ... do I provide for my family or do I provide for my tank? Notice how they all share their personal lives over on that board ... let me think now ... what do they care more about? Obviously that stupid website is more important ... hence why their wives hate this hobby so much ... Those guys are so concerned with their reefer ratings and being considered a good guy then caring about what really matters in life ... how sad! ... not all of them ... but ALOT of them. I have been to enough of their homes in sheisty neighborhoods ... sheeeessssshhhhh ... I thought I was going to die at times.

So true ... those guys are more interested in how much money they spent on something rather then watching it grow ... Bunch of Know Nothing Know it Alls ... Maybe they will try to police me from this website too! biggrin.gif
As I stated before MR does have some nice things .. the reefberry feature being one of them ... BUT ... the rest of it is real cr@p ... they need to do alot of cleaning to get that website back to how it used to be ... they should really do a minimum post count for selling stuff ... rules for the marketplace ... like no cr@pping on other peoples threads ... people will charge what they want to charge ... if you don't like it ... tough sh!t ... it's funny to see some of those jack@asses join this site just trying to sell something ... and repeatedly get the same response ... you are new to this site ... it won't be easy to sell anything.

MR's Marketplace use to be awesome BUT now either I missed the memo or something; members think they can sell their USED items at the SAME retail prices.

I too have been to some shady area's. Just to be disapointed in the long run. I once drove 40 miles EAST of my house for a "free" 55g tank & stand. To only find out that it's a broken stand & a leaking tank.
Dude had said it was a (and I directly quote) "great used tank" what a bunch of shenanigans.

Only thing I'll ever buy on mr is corals. Tho the atlantis marine world idea was kinda cool. But I didn't go.

I've always wanted to go but it's just too far and anyone who lives on Long Island knows, during the summer especially on the weekend, going out east is just a bad idea. Hamptons traffic=3 hours moving at 3 MPH

PHUCK the HAMPTONS and weekend driving.

Dude, if I want to buy your tank, paint it an ugly-ass glossy black, and sell it for more money, I'll damn well do it. And you can't stop me. Don't whine because I'm a better salesman.

Oh, and those mangroves are awesome. Nice and healthy looking. And I'm bringing you some free crabs (emerald, 2 blue hermits, and a xanthid). Wed. I get to see the tank!

Only a 12 gauge? I would have expected at the minimum a M4 carbine, desert eagle & a few flash bangers + the 12 gauge mosberg. (I play way to much cod4)
