Natural light reef bowl? Then we can all ride the struggle bus together!

Oh geez...I've actually thought about trying that with a set-up like the one I have but just with softies and maybe some zoas!! 

[duderubble]

Natural light would knock me out. I'm hoping for an office tank. If we think there's a real possibility I'll wait for it to start my office pico. 

[RayWhisperer]

way back from days of old. I remember this tank. Too bad the pichurs don't show no mo.

[seabass]

Tiny was awesome.

[RayWhisperer]

Yeah. He was like a porn addicted reef Buddha to me.

[lkoechle]

hey @metrokat and @jedimasterben this is the final two weeks right?  Week 14 is 100 days, yeah?

oh and are going to do a final write up? what we learned, successes, failures, if we could do it over, final livestock, future of the tank, etc?

 

I think those would be interesting to read.  Maybe make up a separate thread for final posts?

Really? Are we really that close to the end? Can't be! I was just thinking about adding some more stuff!

[SeaFurn]

Yeah it's flying by - I think Aug 17 is day 100. Should we go 100 more??!!

Somewhere around that, yeah. A final write up would be pretty cool!

He just went away.

Yeah a natural light contest would knock me out too, I haven't got a good sunny window for that due to the way my house is angled.

You can install a solar light tube.  I put some of those in a warehouse and they are plenty bright.  It would make an excellent light source for a tank (despite the spectrum).

I'm renting lol.  Don't think the landlord would go for that!

[Coral_chef]

I've been so bad at updating on here. 

 

Sometimes life gets crazy. 

 

I'm planning on doing some tank maintenance tonight/tomorrow and will update my page.

Me too!! I was thinking I wanted to add a couple more macros and maybe another euphyllia! Holy cow! I feel like we just started

ha. please no.  I have plans.  and I need the contest to end to start my plans. lol  I really want this to be a "no additions" tank for the contest.  So... I have plans for after

[Mariaface]

I don't know how you're all putting together such amazing tanks... 

 

Meanwhile I'm doing crazy things like staying in the office until 12:45AM and showing up at 8AM the next day. Who am I

Mines not amazing.  I just have plans. lol  Like RFAs and being able to add stuff (not that I couldnt before, my basic goal was just to keep strictly "the package" for the contest)

Me too. It's a cool concept. Although I think contests should last 6 months now that this one is almost done. Nothing fast happens in reefing ?

I was mostly kidding.  It takes some time to keep up with posting.  I'm just amazed at how fast the time has gone.

Can't do anything until after the contest.  haha

[lkoechle]

@metrokat and @jedimasterben  How are we closing this thing out?  Final FTS  is when? I'm ordering stuff from @Weetabix7 that I don't want part of the contest so I need to know when I can add stuff haha  I'm getting antsy.
