Lookin Good Kyle!!

[charlie]

It is looking rather good!!!!! You have some great coralline growth, that is a good thing!

[Samper]

Every time I get together with Kyle ....about all we talk about is reefkeeping. His friends have been getting jealous that it has sucked him in. He's been doing a lot of reading and has come a long way in a short time.

This hobby tends to make good friends out of total strangers, doesn't it??

[tdanks]

great looking tank that is such a amazing job. I might have missed it but what kind of foam did you use in there it looks awesome.

[mrayburn]

What kinda foam and paint did you use on your tank build ? Great looking tank !

[kgeorge]

Thanks for the kind words guys. My friends give me crap all the time about the tank. I was a jock I guess you could say, consumed with sports. Now I think it is reefkeeping! LOL, there's just something about it.... Charlie is right about the friends thing, you make many friends you would never have before and people you would have never thought you would have liked to be around!!!
tdanks and mrayburn: Thank you again. The foam is called Handi-foam, it came from Doctors F and S. It is the same as you would buy at a regular hardware store or wal-mart the best I can tell and have read, it is just black and much more expensive! I would use the stuff from wal-mart next time because I painted it black anyway. The paint by the way is Krylon Fusion. Walmart as well or hardware store. It sticks great to the foam and plastic but not on glass in the water! At least not for me. Here's the link for that foam if y'all want to look at it...

[kgeorge]

Now for some coral, etc.

Wonder if anyone on here has seen one of these before?


Some of Chuck's back-ups. LOL ( I think this is Chucks back-up tank)

[kgeorge]

Now to give Doc some props....

These are awesome. I just got them back to health from my stupid blenny that was pickin at them. The two part i've been using that Chuck sells has been wonderful for my tank as well!



Duncan from Doc... It has 2 more heads comin up behind this one


Goody Rock from the Reefdoctor...


I don't know if this guy is ever gonna make it. He has never recovered from being Picked at by the blenny

[kgeorge]

Lastly a few pics to show the coraline growth on the foam wall and rocks

[Samper]

Wow Kyle it is looking REALLY good. Things appear happy and healthy. I can't believe that blenny was picking on the micros.....

What did you decide to do with the second refugium?
