  1. One step forward, the tank was delivered today and soon will be getting this up and running. Still not able to put any weight on my leg so it is making things a little difficult but on the way to recovery. I will provide more details as it is moving along. Working on having the plumbing completed next Wednesday. 125 gallon reef ready dual overflow 55 sump/baffled (area built for refugium) Deltec Skimmer Kalkstirrer 6ft lighting system 3x250w MH, with 4x39w T5 I am really looking forward to getting back into the hobby and meeting new faces and seeing some of those I have met in the past. Even looking forward to meeting the Auburn fans...ROLL TIDE!!!
  2. I appreciate everything you do...looking forward to getting up there to get the tank and set up soon. Then filling the tank up. Keep it up. Thanks Mike
  3. Great looking tank! Hopefully I will get mine looking like that eventually. Nice job!!!
  4. Guy, PM sent on the tank.. Thanks Mike
  5. Maybe it is a good opportunity to make something new.... :-). I went from the same type of set up you had and got mini reflectors and it made a world of difference. I had to change things up and remove the canopy and had the lights about 14" from the water surface.
  6. Looks great. Can't wait to see the pics once the new bulbs are in. David..very nice job on that mod.
  7. Very nice...glad to see some pictures of the new tank. I see the purple reef lobster came out for his picture to be taken. Good job!!
  8. Jan, http://www.aqua-mags.com/product.php There was a group buy earlier this year. There might be enough interest to get another one going. Thanks Mike
  9. Yeah, one on the back and one on the side.
  10. Been a little while since I took some pics, added a few things and there has been some pretty good growth. For some comparison a FTS from 6/15/09. I know it is hard to see in the pics, but believe me there is some growth and good colors...:-) FTS 8/2/09 Thanks for looking, Mike
  11. Sorry to hear about that. Once things have settled down and you are looking to start restocking let me know.
  12. BRK had 3 or 4 of them yesterday. They aren't open this week til Wednesday.
  13. No...I don't think there would be any issue with swapping one of the 10k with another actinic.
  14. Hope you enjoy the light. I would just reduce the time the 10k are on. When I put this set up on my tank, I had actinics run normal and then had the 10k for 3 hours for 3 to 4 days and increased it by one hour every 3 to 4 days until I got to the number of hours I wanted the 10k lights on.
  15. Hmmm...wish I could help you on that one. I haven't seen anything on that. I had a skimmer about 6-7 inches up on a platform that performed the same as when i moved it to another set up and was only about 1-2 inches up on a platform.
  16. I would say if it is working and more importantly there won't be a flood if there is a power outage it is at the right level.
  17. No just purple firefish...:-). Helps once someone points me in the right direction to get colors showing up better... ;-) Thanks for the comments everyone.
  18. Well my daughter once again won. She doesn't have to twist my arm to hard... :-). She wanted me to take a pic and share them. She named one Angie Brooke (front one) and my son named the other one Robinson Robert (back one..(i have no clue where the first names are from, they both used their middle names)) They were eating within 5 minutes of putting them in the tank. Mike
  19. Looks great. BTW...if you need more practice with the camera you are more then welcome to stop by and practice...:-) Very nice pics.
