nUgZ Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Wow!! That's amazing growth, but I expect nothing less. I'd love a frag of the Yellow Jackets sometime if you have some available. Let me know if you do. Link to comment

Curly Joe Reefer Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Reading 5 Lessons by Ben Hogan did wonders for my golf game. Went from shooting in the high 90's to the low 80's in one summer. Tank looks amazing as usual Link to comment
varanus37 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Love the tank, as usual. I especially dig your rock 'scape. Just seems to fit your tank and layout very well I think. My only suggestion is to spread the scoly's out but that's just me. You have so many sweet corals and so much color but it's all right there. It definitely draws the eye to that spot for pictures but I've never seen it IRL so I don't know if it has the same effect. I just think it would be neat to have those big splashes of color throughout the tank as opposed to all right there. Like i said though, the effect could be way different in person than in a picture. The picture itself appears darker in certain places around your z's and p's and your colored sticks and I think that looks sweet. IRL that "darkness" probably isn't the true look but rather an effect of the camera settings. It looks great and ridiculously colorful either way though LoL. Bill Link to comment
PodRod Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 There is so much I love about this tank but the Ric Rock has got to be my favorite. Nice setup! Link to comment

Tank looks amazing as usual dang... that's sweet.... I would be happy if I get to mid to high 90's this year... thanks for the tip... I'll try to find that book... Love the tank, as usual.

Bill Thanks Bill... as for the Aussie scolymias, where they are is the best spot since they are not getting blasted with flow... I need to reconfigure my flow... I still have a bunch of things I need to do with the tank but I like the coral collection so far... I'm hoping this summer time to not collect as much but take the time to really study the tank more... u make us jealous it took some time to get the tank to where it is and I still have a long to go but I'm glad most of the corals I like I have already... There is so much I love about this tank but the Ric Rock has got to be my favorite. Nice setup! the FL ric rock grabs a lot of attention from reefer buddies... I like how it's filling in more and more and we progress... I hope to have the new ceramic rock covered with some high end zoas in the next year or so... for the most part, all the z's and p's I really like have back up frags already so some frags have made it into the rock structure already... so now, I'm just waiting for them to grow and cover a decent part of the rock work... Thanks again to everyone and sorry, sometimes it takes me a while to reply... Link to comment

varanus37 Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Makes sense, I never took flow into account. I knew there'd be a reason for it. Those two new pieces are definitely drool-worthy as well. Then again, I don't think much in your tank isn't drool-worthy. Keep up the good work! Bill Link to comment

Paleoreef103 Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 You know. I saw those Scoly's on Mr. Coral and I almost pointed them out to you, but I thought naaaah he's already got a ridiculous collection. Guess I should have. How many ultra grade scoly's do you have anyway? Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Marvin your tank is absolutely stunning!!!!!!!!!!! One of my favorites. Recent FTS? Link to comment
MarvinsReef Posted May 6, 2010 Author Share Posted May 6, 2010 It's been a good month!! so so... I lost a few very nice pieces the past two weeks... let's just say another expensive lesson learned... You know. I saw those Scoly's on Mr. Coral and I almost pointed them out to you, but I thought naaaah he's already got a ridiculous collection. Guess I should have. How many ultra grade scoly's do you have anyway? Sonny gave me a great deal on the scolymia... I have three of those now but they're all somewhat different... I have a few decent ones with multiple colors... Marvin your tank is absolutely stunning!!!!!!!!!!! One of my favorites. Recent FTS? Thank you... my current most recent FTS is from 03-31-2010 when we got the new scape done... a buddy of mine that's a photographer will hopefully take a nice FTS when he visits... Link to comment
nUgZ Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 so so... I lost a few very nice pieces the past two weeks... let's just say another expensive lesson learned... What!? Which ones? Link to comment
MarvinsReef Posted May 7, 2010 Author Share Posted May 7, 2010 What!? Which ones? 30+ eyes Tyree Red chalice, BPC FT frag, a decent size Sunset millie, and a few misc montis... had an PO4 issue but now that's getting taken care of a Phosban reactor with GFO... slowly but surely getting better each day....
