Thanks everyone! I am just still overwhelmed but it all. First I find out were having a baby then it's a girl then the major score from innovative marine! I'm still spinning.

 

And no gena that's the one thing I haven't yet invested in. Soon but as log as miss Annette doesn't mind I will keep bumming water from her in exchange for corals! ;)

I have a mighty might 50GPD from Air, water and ice that has been awesome. I have it hooked up to my kitchen faucet, doesn't take up much room.

best investment ever.

You'll love having your own RO/DI when you get it.

 

Soooooo....what corals did you bring home, Annette???? :)

 

Miami Vice, the ones that were eaten by those horrible amphipods! :D That was so nice of her. She's "good people" like they say.

 

And do you know what you'll be getting soon???? :wub:

Love the MV :). I was on a coral site the other day and they had Miami Vice as one of those zoanthids that are prone to just melting away unexplained. Eek. I have so many and I'd be really sad if that happened. You and I both know how much amphipods love to eat them. Something about those MV's!!!!!!

 

I do :wub:. I told Randi to hold off on shipping tomorrow cuz I'm going on a field trip with my son's English class on Thursday...joy :lol:. Gotta love that bus ride LOL. I think she's going to ship on Thursday instead for Friday delivery. Can't wait :happydance:.

The noise is the worst. It's for his 8th grade English Class. They just finished reading Anne Frank. We're going to the Museum of Tolerance. Should be interesting.

These pictures are really looking incredible! Glad things are turning out well with the radions. Anything else from the giveaway that you're going to be using on this tank?

Those Radions! Every color pops with richer deeper hues. Her tank is so soothing.

 

Thanks girlie, your tanks aren't too shabby either. I can't stop staring every time I come by your tanks are just awesome! :naughtydance:

LOL when I do for now as long as Miss Annette is kind enough to trade water for frags and help when needed I will hold off. Once we buy a house I will be sure to get one. Just hate installing it and then having to re-do it when we move. I want a permanent setup for it in a garage etc, and that calls for another faucet installed in a rental which I just cannot justify when I have such an awesome reefer friend right down the street! :flower:

 

And your right she can't leave here without frags, I mean when she is giving me one I have to return the favor right! ;)

Aww thanks! So are you I like to share and I am glad you like them! :happy:

I've not had any issue with them, it's my pink zoas and palys that like to melt away for no reason. I am struggling with the last 3 of the mowhawks I got from Morgan a while back. I am very sad about them..... :(

Ha yeah the screaming kids! Hmmmm there was a South Park Episode making fun of that museum. You have to tell me if they make you ride the thing through the "Tunnel of Truth" or whatever it is that screams obscenities at you.

Here is a clip from it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hriKiBbw3nU :lol:

Thanks man, yeah everything is looking good, and yes I will be using the ReefLink and trying to find a spot to place a MP40 without blasting the flesh off the corals..... IDK I am still thinking it would be better on the back wall but then again I could do the MP40 on the SPS side and the two MP10s on the opposite to work against it or one on the back I am at a loss and cannot understand why it is so HUGE. That is another factor, it is large and would be kicking my corals butts if I put it where the other littler MP10 is...... Yeah I will figure it out. ;)

If you think the MP40 is big, you should see the MP60.

 

If you haven't used the MP40 yet, then I would put it on and see for yourself how much better it is than the MP10 as far as flow pattern is, you'll love it :)

Yeah I know I just have to find the right spot for it. All my corals are within about 2-3" of the powerheads and there is the fear that it will damage them being that close.

 

This weekend when I finally have 2 days in a row (husband's 32nd Birthday) and can watch for coral pissyness. ;)

It was an adventure to say the least :wacko:.

 

I only got to do 1/4-1/2 the tour. Had a sick kid in my group. Threw up everywhere. Had to sit with him in a lounge for the remainder. It stunk. Literally. LOL

 

Oh....no tunnel from what I saw. They did have double doors. One said "Tolerant", the other said "Intolerant". They acted like we had a choice on which door to go through, but then made us go through the intolerant.

What are the super pale pink/yellow/blue ones.

The pale pink are some sort of paly, the bright yellow are King Midas The Blue ones are Miami vice..... They have green skirts but the water moving made it hard to get that in there.

New Blenny, about 3 weeks ago I was home from work for lunch and noticed Darryl was just chilling out front of the tank, well he was bloated, and had 2 huge marks on his side, oval in shape and etc. I could not do anything at that time as I HAD to get back to work, when I got home he was still alive and very lethargic, the bruises seemed the same but his belly was now metallic (like full of air) and he was super easy to net. I placed him in a small container with an air pump and epson salts, and garlic just in the hopes he might come back. He did not sadly make it through the evening. The husband in turn told me to order a new fish for Valentines day, so here is the new guy.

Added Saturday 2/15/2014

Little one is a fricking gymnast in there, super active and moving all the time. I can't fit under or behind the tank anymore lmao so yeah things are getting a bit harder.

 

Hope everyone is doing well and that their tanks are looking fabulous. :flower:

Along with the blenny I ordered 2 emerald crabs and a Harlequin Shrimp

I have ones that look identical to the pastel ones with the pink centers and baby blue base. I didn't know what their name was (if they have one). They're amazing though. You take better pics if yours than I do :P
