Nola Bear Posted February 11, 2017 Author Share Posted February 11, 2017 Absolutely slayed it today. Went to a local refer who has a ridiculous set up. He has a room that is dedicated to tanks, plural. He has a Zoa tank. He has a softy tank. He has an anemone tank. He has an LPS tank full of acans and scolias and lobos. He has a quarantine tank for corals. Then he has his frag tank which is at least 6' x 3' x 2' tall. Then he has his display tank in his living room. It's ridiculous. Well, he needs to thin out his frag tank and invited me to come over. I got 7 SPS frags today: blueberry acro, red dragon, fiery digitata, X factor Monti, setosa, starburst Monti, Jason fox Tubbs stellata Monti. All for 10$ per. Pics will come once corals settle 4 Quote Link to comment

Nola Bear Posted February 12, 2017 Author Share Posted February 12, 2017 I feel bad for my sister. Her husband, one of my best friends growing up, is apparently not as bright as I had always thought. I've been guiding them on their new build, a 67 Solana. It's a great tank. First, I had to convince him to go herbie and abandon the durso, and I have given him articles, videos, and all the advice on plumbing the tank. It's not complicated. I told him to avoid the cheap ball valves. What did he buy? I told him he needs to go as straight as possible from drain to sump and avoid any horizontal runs, using 45s and avoiding 90s. This is the progress shot I got today: Wtf!! Both drains, main and emergency, have 90s and valves. And his main drain literally goes back up.......huh? This guy has his Master's 1 Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Don't be a meanie! First time plumbing is difficult. And I have a 90 too, there was no getting around it without advanced plumbing knowledge 2 Quote Link to comment

I feel better now. 2 Quote Link to comment
teenyreef Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I think Kat just meant she's no good a plumbing either Seriously, though, I was super glad my 30g came already plumbed even though I had to redo some of it. It was much easier figuring out plumbing for the first time by modifying an existing setup than it would have been doing it from scratch. What blows me away is how good it can look by heating and bending pvc pipe, which means you don't even have 45's. Scorched's v2 sump is a work of art. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

teenyreef Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 The corals look great in the new pics! I always have trouble getting good pictures of corals with intense blue like the blueberry acro. And I have yet to get a good picture of my stellata, the polyps are so bright you can't actually see the purple of the skin. 1 Quote Link to comment
