NanoReefNovice Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I second the motion. All those in favor say "aye". AYE!!!! Quote Link to comment

NanoReefNovice Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Your late, the motion has been carried already, lol. I know... i thought it might have some comedic effect... Quote Link to comment
Boomboy Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 holy cow 5 PICTURES in one post. you should have spaced it out more, now what are we going to look at. oh yeah, nice pictures, i like the middle one, really makes the red one pop. BAN HIM TO THE FUGE------> the sand sifter that isnt doing its job. Quote Link to comment
TheUnfocusedOne Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 whered you get all the rics from? and when did you add that sand sifter! i think for all our sakes you need to create a constant web cam watching your tank so what if ur compromising the privacy of your home, itll make the rest of us happy! youll be like the osborns, or the hogans, only with a really sweet tank Quote Link to comment
Needreefunds Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 You dazzle us for months with your awesome DIY skills , then you assemble the beginnings of one of the sweetest ric gardens I've seen. Unreal variety of rics Cal, it will be cool to watch them fill in. Thanks for the pics! Quote Link to comment
Marteen Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Yeah i definitely have to know where you got that speckled ric with the green mouth!!! Your ric garden looks very very good! Now how about that zoa garden? Quote Link to comment
itzclayyo Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Awesome ric garden!! Quote Link to comment
SeeDemTails Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Congrats on getting coral in the tank. Cant wait to see where it goes from here! Quote Link to comment
Boomboy Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 with such a long tank, you can really isolate each group of corals together. how about an sps garden and a acan garden, and the possibilities are endless. Quote Link to comment
clownfish1124 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 IMO that many gardens looks unnatural. That ric is still my fav (the superman one) when you got frags, shoot me a pm. Kthxbye Quote Link to comment
BibleSue Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I go out of town for a week & look what you do! PM me what you are putting in there & I'll let you know what I can send you if you are interested. Let's help him fill up this tank. We've gotten more than our money's worth out of this build!

calvin415 Posted February 5, 2009 Author Share Posted February 5, 2009 (edited) The ric garden looks amazing Cal, where did you get them? Ebay. One of the ebay guys is 45 min away so some of them were hand picked. (The good looking ones ) holy cow 5 PICTURES in one post. you should have spaced it out more, now what are we going to look at. oh yeah, nice pictures, i like the middle one, really makes the red one pop. BAN HIM TO THE FUGE------> the sand sifter that isnt doing its job. Yeah, what was I thinking? I'll keep that in mind... He's finally sifting, good thing, I was about to get another fish to do his job. whered you get all the rics from?and when did you add that sand sifter! i think for all our sakes you need to create a constant web cam watching your tank so what if ur compromising the privacy of your home, itll make the rest of us happy! youll be like the osborns, or the hogans, only with a really sweet tank Ebay. I added the sand sifter last week. Uhhhh, sorry on the webcam. You dazzle us for months with your awesome DIY skills , then you assemble the beginnings of one of the sweetest ric gardens I've seen. Unreal variety of rics Cal, it will be cool to watch them fill in. Thanks for the pics! Thanks! I'll certainly try not to let anyone down and keep everyone guessing! Yeah i definitely have to know where you got that speckled ric with the green mouth!!! Your ric garden looks very very good! Now how about that zoa garden? It's not available anywhere, I happen to get to look through his entire collection (400+ rics) to find that one. I hope it starts to split in the near future, I'm hoping to start a small ric farm with it. Awesome ric garden!! Thanks! Congrats on getting coral in the tank. Cant wait to see where it goes from here! Thanks, I'm hoping to work on Acan Island next... Going to take much longer to finish that one though. with such a long tank, you can really isolate each group of corals together. how about an sps garden and a acan garden, and the possibilities are endless. I don't want too many islands, but there will be a few. IMO that many gardens looks unnatural.That ric is still my fav (the superman one) when you got frags, shoot me a pm. Kthxbye Ditto, some won't work as islands other will, but hopefully I can find the right balance. Yeah, that ric was my fave and a tad pricey, but worth every cent in my opinion. Once I have some extra polyps I'll let some go... I go out of town for a week & look what you do! PM me what you are putting in there & I'll let you know what I can send you if you are interested. Let's help him fill up this tank. We've gotten more than our money's worth out of this build! LOL! Well the next task is Acan Island, but right now I'm trying to save my pennies to cover the costs. I have some SPS packs available to try to come up with some money, but I have some other things I need to get done as well. Everything will just take time... Duplicate...

MiddReef Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Wow! Starting to really come together here Calvin....jealously following along! Quote Link to comment
BibleSue Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 You mean like these? I had a lot of these and some with stripes in the centers till I got some micros in that went south & took most of my greens with them. I have 2 heads of one kind & 3 of the other that I am growing out. Let me know when you are ready & we can talk. Quote Link to comment
Ancelot Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 the rics are BABES! sadly, my country hardly brings in such lovely specimens ): Nice catch, Calvin Marc Quote Link to comment

I have some acans lined up here, but not sure colors, or when I'll get over to pick them up... the rics are BABES! sadly, my country hardly brings in such lovely specimens ): Nice catch, Calvin Marc Thanks! Sorry to hear about that. I wish I knew more about international laws, I would love to make some extra moolah sending out rics... I know, sorry I'm getting sick of the new rules about posting pics... I find myself holding back on my posts until I have a new pic. I don't have any today. Quote Link to comment
seahorsejl Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I know, sorry I'm getting sick of the new rules about posting pics... I find myself holding back on my posts until I have a new pic. I don't have any today. Your thread, your rules BTW, tank is looking super! The ric island, is as others have said many times, superb. I have read somewhere that rics were more prone to split when grouped together... so hopefully your collection will encourage lots of splitting. Quote Link to comment
Splumph Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Your thread, your rules +1, don't hold back updates cause you don't have pics I withdraw my aye Quote Link to comment
Scott Riemer Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I know, sorry I'm getting sick of the new rules about posting pics... I find myself holding back on my posts until I have a new pic. I don't have any today. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. Quote Link to comment
calvin415 Posted February 5, 2009 Author Share Posted February 5, 2009 LOL! Thanks everyone... Well I just looked at the rics and notices a couple missing... Then I realized the CL intake is right behind it. CRAP! 2 rics were stuck in it... I got them pulled out and they look okay, but now I can't figure out how I had the rock work. Guess I'll play around with it more later... Perhaps replace the strainers with something else down the road. Quote Link to comment
bonsai reefer Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Awesome tank .You could put a sponge over the strainer to keep the rics out till they attach then remove later . Quote Link to comment
evilc66 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Sponge will collect crap and will need to maintained. Not good if it's behind rockwork. Quote Link to comment
