That is one sweet piece! And wow, the lights look great in the FTS. I'm sure it looks even better in person too.

I'll make it over there someday I hope. ;)
 
Any Evening George, always welcome if I'm home. Same for anyone else interested. Trial by fire has done me well lol I can now offer advice and help to anyone who is looking into leds. ;)

DIP THE ZOAS!!! QT them if you can! Believe me, don't add them straight to the tank. Especially if you have other zoos
 
Issues with OG zoas? I did a FW and iodine dip. added a few others from my tank as well. Inspected before during and after, and they look ok. Some funky snails came off in the FW though

Good pickups! Diggin' the little nakeds! One of my favorite morphs. I really like the Dominos too.
 
I was planning on getting the dominos, and called to make sure they were getting them in, and they sold em before they even opened the box :'(

but its okay, i like these guys equally as well :)
 
Newer additions lol. Picked these up from manhattan aquariums. Nice place, friendly people. Couldnt argue on the prices of the stuff i got either

Second one was a Manhattan Aquariums Acro frag for 20$ lol. Needless to say i jumped on it.

Heres some more pictures ladies and gents.

ALSO: Happy to report that even at around 25-40% over the last few weeks, i have been getting phenomenal growth from the DIY leds. Growth that is 2-3x as fast as with the T5s i was using. At around a fourth of the wattage, and much nicer crisper color with the shimmer that i oh-so-missed, i am 1000% satisfied and would recommend LED's to ANYONE that is a doubter or on the fence. Anyone interested is MORE than welcome to come check em out. Free of charge lol. Heres those pictures though.

Thanks man Haha ill cut you some as soon as they grow a little bit.

I've seen colonies of starwberry shortcake in person and this drag has a lot longer coralite growth pattern than the small Nubs on the colonies I've seen. It has similar coloration but the blue is much deeper than the Baby blue on the shortcake. Either way its a sweet piece and a bargain and a half lol.
 
Just a quick shot of what i worked on after the meeting tonight lol. -Brian you know what i started with haha so ithink it turned out pretty well. Rock i will be picking up probably on monday. And water goes in tomorrow. This is the girlfriends tank. NOT her first, she wants everyone to know that. Shes definitely not a newbie, and will be joining and making her own tale of the tank eventually.
