no doubt about that. We did alot of DIY, which she was really happy about and saved a ton of money, my head spins when I look at etsy and see what folks are charging for silly stuff. What kind of theme are yall goin for?

You lost 5 man points for just mentioning Etsy :lol:

Ohhh yea she's trying to do as much as she can, navy/grey more of a mix of some contemporary/ rustic and Asian, she's half Taiwanese/white. I'm really just hoping for one giant party cause we are all about non traditional. Getting married in the middle of downtown Chicago on the river.

sounds awesome man, let me know what kind of rustic stuff your doing, we had a real mason jar shindig, http://graceology.com/bree-greg-cenita-vineyards-wedding-7-7-14/, and I made a majority of the decorations. If you need any help and I am able, Id be happy to give what advice I can

Was in Kings Bay at the sub base yesterday! I like GA!

 

Black sand is nice, but then again it has some bad reviews, I never had any problems with it in my Nuvo 16 though...

Sand... uggh.

 

The problem Ive heard about with black sand is that it shows everything, but I dont know that thats a bad thing.

 

Added the Davinci to the main tank, not a long QT, but as both in the QT were aquaculture fish, and he seemed healthy, I went on and put him in. My old clown isnt playing nice, but...

 

A refuge

Really pumped about the hosting, the old clown refused to even look at the nem, but this guy went to it within 24 hours.

 

I also got quite a few coral from a friend today, cment here on NR. Hes moving into a house and upgrading to a 60 gallon from a ~30 gallon, but breaking down his frag tank in the process. He was good enough to send several things home with me :D

 

Pics of the new stuff tomorrow

cleaned all four panes of glass before going into work this mornin, and then took some pics. I've got to get up with Chris to get the trade names for some pieces, but you can see the new stuff on the rack, as well as the king midas zoas on the small "zoa garden". There is a big dragon soul favia colony stuck in the back corner from Chris as well, but Im waiting for it to color up before taking pictures.

 

Disclaimer, playing with the WB settings, so things are alittle off, still too much blue haze to things.

Cant properly get the colors to show up on the rainbow from Lawn, but really coloring up great

Original clown quit beating the new one's ass after 48 hours, the new guy seems torn between hosting the nem and hanging out with the other clown

4 blue+ one actinic and one purple+. I just went and looked at the pictures in comparison to the tank, on the Mac they actually match pretty well, on my laptop, cheap hp, they are way off.

Yea thats what I was getting on my comp, Im not going to claim its not a blue heavy spectrum, but its far less blue than a radion on 20K setting, if youve seen that

Ben concocted up a shopping list to loose 2 T5 and add a diverse strip of "blue" LEDs down the center of my fixture, still debating between the work and a reefbrite strip... I need that LED POP!

What on earth is the teal thing in the middle?

 

I believe it is a montipora confusa...

 

Maybe, undata... I'm not a huge fan of montis tho, but one of those two lol
