Kat's Ol' Max

[northstar1357]

I saw it on LiveCam. Too bad it didnt fly over East River.

 

Had my 5D in my office set up pointing East River!! Total failure should have gone to the other side of the building.

not sure what TS means but he sure used a zoom lens! no wonder it looks so big

[ScubaEthan]

Not only did the space shuttle Enterprise do a fly by right over my head this morning, I was really lucky to find the perfect crowning glory for my tank. Will post more about both later, here is a quick picture even while things were P.O.

Sweet x2! Can't wait to see a non pissed off photo lol

 

You should help me find a used Panorama Pro cause you're awesome like that. All blue, blue/magenta, or RGB, unless you advise against any of those.

Dweezy has two in the Hardware forum but I'm trying to snatch them up if I can get a reply. I have the RGB and a 12k/445nm. I kind of wish I had just gotten regulars. The RGB is cool but it's not really for growth, just color.

Tank Sitter. He's famous!

Well he did use a big a$$ lens but the thing also flew really low!

Thanks! I'm excited about that rock. Like Banshee says below, RGB is for color, it provides that full spectrum that is trendy these days but will not provide growth. The reasoning is simple, the RGB PRO has the same # of bulbs or whatever they are called as a regular PRO, however each bulb is a different spectrum/color. So each has a different PAR value. For growth I would go with a regular PRO. I'll PM you if I find a deal. I'm interested in another one myself.

Read back several pages. I'm worry to hear about your DOA. That was dumb of Live Aquaria. But I guess they have to deal with dumb people or people who try to get free money.

Kat, if that fish comes back to life, you should try walking on water next.

 

Whoa! Your tank has been doing a lot of growing while I haven't been watching. oops. Pretty soon it's going to be maxxxed out! I like the top down fish photos.

 

What are those spikey green things under your zoa garden? They look like those spikey rubber beads kids use to make jewelry.

 

I had a suspicion about the RBG not being going for coral growth but the ecoxotic site didn't really answer the question. Thanks for the advice, guys. So by regular Panorama Pro do you mean all blue or the blue/magenta or either? Thanks for keeping an eye out And banshee, I saw you trying to get that one so I won't fight you for it lol

These green spikey things? :

That is a black sun coral. The body is very black but when it extends its tentacles, they are like an olive black.

 

Yes regular PRO is one of their standard ones (basically any PRO other than the RGB model). The colors depend on the look you want.

Ethan, I think a 12k/445 + a 445/magenta + one other pro of your choice would be awesome. I'm going to try to cram 4 in my hood (2 x 12k/445, 1 RGB, and 1 other). If I can't fit a 4th pro I'll be adding a stunner strip. The RGB will probably be my moon light if I don't go with a blue stunner for that.

[metrokat]

Sara, don't use a stunner for a moonlight. It is far too bright unless you use a dimmer, will disorient the animals.

Crab Fight!

 

So here's a new resident that arrived today. His name is Jerry. Notice Jerry has what appears to be a torn crab leg in his pincer. He likely went at a molt that I saw next to him.

 

He starts to get antsy

 

Here is my little guy just chillin' on the BTA

 

Jerry starts the gorilla walk over to my little guy

 

Does like a turnabout or something

 

My poor little guy is taking a snooze and Jerry opens his pincers

 

Smack down!

nice. i hope no crabs were hurt in the making of this story lol. i'm glad he's looking good.

[metrokat]

After 3 months of goofing off, the spectrapure finally got installed, except the sink leaks and I just had a mini flood where I let the spectrapure run and forgot about it.

 

The RSM is about to be moved 10ft over to another wall in my foyer which needed outlets. The outlets also finally got installed yesterday. So I really have no excuse to delay moving the tank anymore. I'm thinking Monday. Lord help me. Have a 20G rubbermaid container on the ready, 10G of new saltwater has to be made ready in time for the move.

 

[iball1804]

I'll come ova and help.

[ScubaEthan]

And in this corner, we have Google and Chrome. Chrome has a big a$$ piece of poop hanging from his tush.

haha I missed their names. Love it. What was the third's name going to be? It should be Explorer. Since it died. Like how Internet Explorer should die.

 

Saltcritters.com is fast becoming a favorite vendor. They have $10 frags also.

 

Fluffy the Blasto

Salt Critters is on my list for the next purchase!

 

oooooooooo I can has frag?

 

 

Nice crab fight photo story.

Nice crab fight photo story.

3rd one was going to be called Android. Andy for short.

Ya you can has frag, will be a while before they grow a skeleton and then tall enough to frag.

All 3 crabs are chilling out front like nothing ever happened.

Lola, Mr. Silly and Jerry.

[metrokat]

Been making my own water since yesterday. Getting ready for the big 10 foot tank move tomorrow!

Wish this thing wasn't so all over the place.

[mike c]

You'll do just fine, Kat. I have faith in you. I just helped a buddy of mine move a 125g starfire tank (40g sump, chiller, reactor, skimmer, plumbing, lights, (2) MP40s, fully controllable by 10 individual rocker switches) system this past weekend....I know...I'm jealous too! Now that was a freakin mission!

 

You know your a reefer when...you have an RODI set up in your bathroom...

[metrokat]

For the last time, it's the fish bathroom.

 

I just fitted some shelves in there too, so now the 2.5 gallon frag tank is a macro fuge and the pod culture has a shelf too.

 

Last to move in is the cat's litter box. He's had a vacation for too long, he goes back to the critter bathroom.

[CarrillXXP]

I can only imagine someones reaction when they ask to use your bathroom. Haha.

[Psychosis]

Depends on who's using it I suppose. I'd probably steal a few gallons of RO.

Ha ha. I had the toilet removed and the sink has the spectrapure. This bathroom isn't for human use at all. I can just picture Psy trying to sneak out with some RO. "What's that under your jacket Psy?" "Oh I've got big time gas Kat" as he let's one rip just for emphasis.

You're a pro now, Kat! Having an RODI in my bathroom is a future goal.

I would.

[banshee]

I love that you have a critter bathroom! Our laundry room is quickly turning into the fish room, as is our sun porch with pod cultures.

[Spirofucci]

Good luck on the move! Moving it 10 feet is almost the same as moving it 10 miles!

 

Nice mounting job on the sprectrpure!
