i have definately been on a monti kick lately. i will have to head over and check out the atlantis website to try and find some of the appleberry. let me know if you ever frag any of your unknown.

 

awesome top down shots, i love the sps sticking out of the water. and those baby cardinals are killer.

 

 

 

Thanks, I'll let you know if when it come times to frag the yellow one again. yeah Appleberry is a pricey little sucker but soooo damn awesome. hopefully i can start fragging mine soon :D.

Got my new light yesterday for the upgrade.. Fedex broke the #### out of it and not to mention it is a total POS in the first place, but with a little love it should be good as new. Took it apart and started cleaning it, i'm going to replace pretty much all the rusted screws, fans, and there are few broken parts that need to be fixed (both ends were broke in shipping.

 

 

heres some pictures. First, how FedEx left it out my house, packing peanuts were all over my yard, what a bunch of worthless idiots. and the second, what it looks like now.

Wow, what a mess. I'm quite surprised that the bulbs didn't break during shipment. :mellow:

 

 

Yeah it literally looked like the driver dropped it off a building and then kicked a few times.

Ha, no worries. The tank has been up and running for a few months now and i'll get to the pictures here in a minute. as for the frag tank, it is part of the 120 system for now but it is being moved to the garage soon to become replaced by some bigger and better things.. we'll get to that ha

So the guy that sold me this light fixture is a total dead beat.. i had to rebend the entire hood because it was so bent the light shields wouldn't fit anymore (so much for it being in perfect condition) and i also added 2 new switches.
