DBTReefer Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I love your updates. They are so organized and concise. Can't wait for more, especially the SPS and clove updates Quote Link to comment
Needreefunds Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 What a great trip down memory lane! Sweet update of a truly awesome reef tank. Pico, nano, no matter. Pound for pound -or gallon for gallon as it were -it ranks with the best of 'em IMO. Yes, very sweet indeed. Quote Link to comment
el fabuloso Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 Two Year Anniversary! And to celebrate, here's two years of FTS showing just how much things have changed in the past two years. November 4, 2007 November 7, 2007 November 30, 2007 December 16, 2007 January 3, 2008 February 6, 2008 February 23, 2008 March 20, 2008 April 14, 2008 April 27, 2008 June 17, 2008 June 29, 2008 July 28, 2008 September 28, 2008 October 23, 2008 November 4, 2008 January 1, 2009 March 3, 2009 March 24, 2009 April 15, 2009 May 28, 2009 August 20, 2009 September 11, 2009 November 4, 2009 Wow. I still can't believe it's been two years! When I started this tank I never would've imagined it to last this long and for it to take a life of its own and inspire so many others. It's been an amazing journey and I have learned so much! Thanks to everyone who helped me out from the beginning, for all the support and the inspiration and for all the people who continue to support this tank today. It just goes to show that with a little patience and some determination, anything is possible. Quote Link to comment
DBTReefer Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Yay! Your cap has just hit SDT size . Congrats fab Quote Link to comment
opy01 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I can only hope my cap looks near as good as your one day. Congrats on the 2 year mark. It's kind of crazy thinking back to when you first started then looking at it now isnt it. Quote Link to comment
nanoreefnate Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I applaud thee King of Picotope's all around the earth King EL FAB! Congrats on the 2 Yr Anniversary! BTW i think you should frag that cap before it invades the whole top of your tank! i think i can speak for all of us in that we would NEVER EVER want your tank to crash... especially due to that MASSIVE monti. EVERYONE to King El Fab! Quote Link to comment
el fabuloso Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 Yes! It is about SDT size and it's shading over half the tank. I think it's a little too big for my tank now. I can only hope my cap looks near as good as your one day. Congrats on the 2 year mark. It's kind of crazy thinking back to when you first started then looking at it now isnt it. It's surreal! You really don't anticipate how things are going to look down the road and even more with corals because they tend to have a mind of their own. lol BTW i think you should frag that cap before it invades the whole top of your tank! i think i can speak for all of us in that we would NEVER EVER want your tank to crash... especially due to that MASSIVE monti. Thanks Nate! The monti cap is gorgeous, I don't ever wanna have to frag it. I'll probably move it to another tank before I think about fragging it. Oh and the obligatory current FTS shot: 1 Quote Link to comment
jokercykoe Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Gives a whole new meaning to "FULL" tank shot Your tanks an inspiration, and is always the first tank I tell other people with picotopes to look at to see what can be done in such a small tank. Quote Link to comment
el fabuloso Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 Thanks, joker! "Full" is definitely an understatement. I think the next step for me is to weed a few things out. Quote Link to comment
