Tank is looking absolutely fantastic David. That is one heck of a blue Tort you have there in the first pic.

What I can't get over is the size of these....all of your pieces, besides a couple of frags, are nice and BIG. I bet it looks amazing in person.

Keep up whatever you're doing....definitely got something going there.

You two are a trip!
Perhaps we should invite DCG over to Weetie's Lounge.
The Jukebox has a loose wire and we could use some "real" music, and the banter would be fun! happy.gif


YEAH!!! WEETIE'S LOUNGE!!! Can I come play? flower.gif

Thank you so much Nate ... This Tort I got back in July ... it was so brown ... I have to find an old picture of it ... It looked like a pile of poo ... seriously ... you wouldn't even want it in your tank ... lol ... but this is what it turned into ... now everyone wants a piece of it! smile.gif

Thanks Adam ... I am getting tremendous growth on EVERYTHING ... of course but the Purple Monster ... but it is growing ... at least ... lol ... I don't know EXACTLY what I did differently with this tank ... although I think getting it set up with some great equipment right from the get go ... really helped out ALOT! The only major difference was keeping a tiny TINY sandbed in the main display while having a DSB in the fuge ... as well as trying out the Fiji mud.

Beautiful shots, that blue whatever it is is simply amazing.

Mark is sorta right too, LPS are always cool; guess that's why I'm keeping a mixed reef. biggrin.gif

Update (long overdue) ... lol ... been so busy with the season starting up and all ... haven't had too much time for anything else ... Just got finished with my new publicity photos ... concerts ... Making a few local TV appearances ... etc.etc.

Anyways, picked up some amazing corals from my friend tonight ... A giant Efflo COLONY ... WOOOHOOO ... a colony of A. Loripes ... and three awesome encrusting montis ... Appleberry ... Tropicana Twist and some other one we couldn't identify. smile.gif

Pictures to come as long as I don't get sidetracked tomorrow!
ap123
Glad to see all is well and you've been busy with good stuff. flower.gif

Can't wait to see the new pics. The only question that remains; is the efflo colony holy?

*Cue the music* "who do you think you are, mr. big stuff" tongue.gif Is there an "offseason" for performances or does that just depend on the number of gigs that you have?

Looking forward to seeing the pics of the latest and greatest additions.

DHaut

LMAO!!! Summer time is usually the offseason ... September through May is the bulk of the work. I can't wait to see the pictures either!!! lol ... The Loripes is freaking awesome! I cleaned up the sandbed last night when I got home while these guys were all acclimating ... Shifted some stuff around the tank ... I have these new Acros on the sandbed for now. smile.gif My RBTA decided to shift in the middle of the night ... to a very nice place actually ... hopefully he will be happier where he is!

Thank you smile.gif Yes the tips of this Acro are indeed a lavender color ... it still has a ways to go in coloring up that's for sure ... but once it does ... it will be stunning!

Which word is blocked? Pissed?

Milli's are pretty hardy ... from my experiences ... that's weird that it would be rotting on you ... but you never know!
DHaut
yeah, i don't get it. seriously. yeah, piss(ing) is blocked.

hey, did you get any of that red bug killer?

thats not gonna work out in the interest of the gb, cause now he (john) has to pay for shipping twice, if your gonna do it like that, might as well have daves stuff shipped over there aswell, no reason for him to spend an extra $20 comming out here when he can spend $2 to get to annies.

do as you wish, because i really dont care anymore.... so long as i get my snails im good
