[DevonM]

Looking great! Not a glass anemone to be seen.

[lostcreekreefer]

That's right, Devon. c/o Raccoon Butterfly.

The tank looks great Kevin. Your fish sure are photogenic aren't they?

[lostcreekreefer]

You may be a reefer, if it seems like a good time on Friday night is watching 'Twister' on TV with pizza and beer for dinner, interspersed with acclimating and placing your Reeftopia order of crabs & snails in the aquariums.

[charlie]

sounds like a personal problem

Since I had my camera out, thought I'd add a few more views of things:
The Goniopora is hard to catch a glimpse of... (actually camera operator error)
But I finally did..see the little polyps inside? They were 1-2mm in diameter last week and have tripled in size & are more numerous. I'm feeding it 3X weekly.

My new BTA, thanks Devon, it seems to be happy where I've placed it (in a central canyon)

Last 2 are the 2 corals (Acrpora?) that have benefited from the increased photoperiod (thanks, Charlie) They have increasing in size well over 3-4 times in 3 months, the green one is becoming more uniformly colored.

Haven't posted about the tank for a while...It is fine, the corals are fine. Brandon took his tank down & I basically acquired everything for fish & coral. THey're all doing fine too!

Stopped in at Reef Missoula today. The Nemo Mobile is for real.
While I was there I picked up some new powerheads. Improving flow!
The 442 is almost done.

The 442 is nice. I guess.

But ooh baby look at those Tunze powerheads!!!!!!! I bet they really roar!!!

Congrats on the 442 Kevin, I know it has been a work in progress, it really is looking good!!!

You did forget one thing tho...........................................a pic of the tank

It's true! 442 is looking great! Hopefully at some point I can get my Camaro to the same point.

Well yeah Devon, just takes time (& $$$)...I had lotsa help, so I forced the process I guess. I think you have the engine kinda sideways btw

I did NOT forget, I just need to finish scraping to make it presentable. You won't believe some of the coral growth!

The 442 is spectacular!! check out:

for the whole process. I have been working longer at the aquarium, I will admit, but the car has been > 18 months now. The shine is beautiful.

I am soaking the Tunze pumps in RODI water for a couple of days & then will run them for a couple more in a tub with extra live rock, then I'll install them. That's when you'll see some pics (I hope)!

[lostcreekreefer]

Well I finished the scrape-fest so I have new pictures.

The Tunze pumps work, but you gotta buy the stoopid cables to hook them to the controller (NOT !!! included!!!) They are still in the rock tub.

[lostcreekreefer]

And another batch so Brandon can see the kids are all fine! Both corals & fishes!

[DevonM]

Looking great!

[CutthroatKid]

I agree with Devon!
