Motivated or what--The rebuild of the 300

**charlie** · 09-07-2008, 09:36 AM

I will have to do some research on live brine, but I don't think it is that tough to do. Like you said, time consuming!!!!!
Thanx for your thoughts here this lovely AM. Looks like I can fill up part of the day anyways.

That is what I get for $%^&*() around

I am working on it as we speak.
Back to the shrimp, I think Kevin had some dwarf horses that were eating frozen brine, I will have to ask him when he gets back from MACNA.

well that would be cool! If you don't want problems you should turn of the return pump when you feed them, I should have done this but by the time I thought of it they were gone

That way the food hangs around the horses and they don't have to chase one shrimp for 10 minutes!

I'm serious, that's how slow they are!

Damn, they eat like I do.

You know, proper digestion is important.

**charlie** · 09-07-2008, 04:23 PM

OK, my turn to post some stuff.

Took these when the actinics came on this morning!

Mike, I think this is what Logan's favorite will look like in a while:

Gene, do you recognize this?

This is the Yongei I got from Kevin,

I believe this is an Oregon tort, got it from Dang.

**charlie** · 09-16-2008, 04:06 PM

Here's some updated tank pics, left, center, right, and the 80. Mike I treid what you suggested, what do you think? There was only one set of halides on in the 300, the Helios 20K's.

**Poseidon** · 09-16-2008, 09:33 PM

The first is good Charlie, the others need some contrast adjustment.

**charlie** · 09-16-2008, 09:43 PM

I didn't mess with them to much. Just a little sharpen.

**charlie** · 10-18-2008, 10:23 AM

Hey all, it has been a month, and a long one at that.

I was home last weekend and took some pics of both systems, and I will go ahead and throw some pics up later today. I have to go in for a few hours this morning, but I shall return and get this thing going again!!!
Enjoy your college football for today, later!

**charlie** · 10-18-2008, 11:02 PM

As promised, here goes. I'll start with the 300.

**charlie** · 10-18-2008, 11:04 PM

A couple from the 80 gallon.

**charlie** · 10-18-2008, 11:07 PM

And last but not least, my Emperor angel, who sure is taking it's own sweet time changing into an adult!!

Ramer · 10-18-2008, 11:11 PM

Still looking great man

. If you could talk the fish into moving out of the way we could see more of the corals

**charlie** · 10-18-2008, 11:13 PM

Hard to do with so many photogenic critters.

By the way, the steak and potato went down really good.

Ramer · 10-18-2008, 11:16 PM

I was trying to break off a piece of that purple candy cane with my arrow but It wouldn't work. And I hope we can get a piece of the pink thing....When Jenn sees that she will want it also

**charlie** · 10-18-2008, 11:19 PM

You talkin about the birdsnest in the 300 or the fox coral in the 80? I think I have 2 frags of the fox, it finally let go of both of the babies!!

Ramer · 10-18-2008, 11:19 PM

Speaking of potato I have plenty to go around.. When do you suppose we will have the next meeting. Fresh Spuds for everyone.

Ramer · 10-18-2008, 11:20 PM

O sorry the fox coral in the 80.

**charlie** · 10-18-2008, 11:24 PM

You definitely have a little fox reserved for you guys!!!!!

I have no idea when the next meeting is gonna be Brandon???? We ought to go down and visit Kevin. You should see if he would host a meeting.
