YHSublime July 10, 2013 Author Share July 10, 2013 TONS of good luck headed your way - that's kind of crazy! I know, right?! All I can do is just laugh and have a beer. The first half of my year was just one great big charlie brown time as well....all you can do is keep moving forward through the struggle with your head up. I lost wallet in Bahamas in January just before my flight home... I feel your pain. It was an awful feeling... Have apple care on the Mac book? Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2 I wish I had apple care still. This is my Macbook from college, it's going on 6+yrs. The only real shame here is I just got a new charger and battery for it. Charlie Brown is a good word for it. Like you said, and I mentioned above, nothing but a laugh and a beer! Tank melt down is a right if passage BTW...lol like a bad hazing....congrats! You're truly a reefer now Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2 Well, if that's what it takes... haha. I'm actually really lucky. I told my Fiance if it was the 57 I would have been out. Packed up and just waited till I could do a big tank. Could have always been worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Rhoads July 12, 2013 Share July 12, 2013 Will be moving by October, So in September we should see your bigger tank build start right? Looking good man. My 100 looks like a barren desert compared to your setup. Awesome job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome job! My oh my, wouldn't that be nice! Not so soon, we actually renewed our lease after much though, the location is great, and it gives us another year to save. You're 100 is no barren desert! You're letting the corals take the show, unlike me, who has just shoved them in, and been able to get a lot of already established large colonies! I've got a lot of stuff coming in at Frag Fest from vendors, other members, and I'm sure I'll pick up some more stuff once I see what everybody brings. I'm in the process of cleaning out some room for all these frags. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YHSublime July 16, 2013 Author Share July 16, 2013 Just wanted to get some pics in before FFE. I have a substantial amount coming in, from high end zoas and pallys, to awesome SPS frags from some of our reputable club members. I'm preparing to place the zoas on my zoa rock in the middle and the pointed rock (left of the birdsnest colony) and I want to put a few flat rocks down on the bottom right (where the elegnaces are) to put the SPS. I think the pull from the MP40 underneath will offer a nice heavy flow, and they will do very well there until I can organize how I want to place them in the tank. I sold the Aussie on the right, and kept the one of the left. I figured I liked the pattern in the smaller one better, and it would grow with me. Sometimes small is better. Top down of my clam, gives a whole different color: Thought this was a cool shot, just wish the LED reflection wasn't in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YHSublime July 17, 2013 Author Share July 17, 2013 Sorry for the above post being separate, but didn't want to type out on my phone. So I have been wanting a hippo tang for a long time. And yeah yeah, I know they get huge. Like way to big for my tank. So before the tang police wail in here. AND just as I typed that, got a new reply, and leave it to Jenn! So I reached out to several of our club vendors and said "Hey, what is the smallest Hippo Tang you can find me?" Scott (Incredible Corals) was super helpful and questioned all his vendors. The answer was 3/4 of an inch all around. We talked about how long it would take it to get to be too big for my tank, and I talked about my concern of my already present orange spot tang (Rehomed.) So here it is... the most adorable smallest Hippo Tang I've ever seen in my life. It is the smallest fish in my tank (smaller than my smallest blue chromis.) Ok, now all you haters can open up the Player Haters Ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YHSublime July 17, 2013 Author Share July 17, 2013 Oh, and by the time that itty bitty thing gets to a size that I need a bigger tank, I'll either rehome or have upgraded. HUZZAH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howaboutme July 17, 2013 Share July 17, 2013 I'm not law enforcement. That's a super cute fish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBVette July 17, 2013 Share July 17, 2013 I will agree that the tiny hippo might be one of the most adorable fish I have ever seen. (Second only to the baby tusks) And you will have plenty of time before he outgrows your tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sachabballi reef July 17, 2013 Share July 17, 2013 Scott you are getting yourself quite a rep with these fish ain't ya? Isaac these fish grow pretty darn fast...and they need swimming room which your tank under best circumstances is too small but you self admittedly say its completely packed with more on the way this weekend.. we all want stuff that we can't have ....myself included and I have a 180 and still can't have the stuff I want if I'm being responsible, which I am... OK, off tang police podium...... Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

howaboutme July 17, 2013 Share July 17, 2013 Oh boy..Jenn's at it... Last time I saw Isaac, I said, "Don't buy fish with the thought of a future upgrade because you never know what could happen like loss of job, not a new place big enough, etc"....But with that said, he's a big boy and I trust he knows how to make it right if the future doesn't pan out exactly the way he envisioned it....Plus..we can also blame everyone else that gave him this advice! lol. Still think that baby is adorable! I want one too. jk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't mean there's not another wall to put a tank on, if I had my way we wouldn't have a couch If this fish grows faster than I can accommodate, then it will see another home. It is as simple as that. I did my research, asked my questions, and ultimately have made the decision. And I knew I was making the decision to deal with the tang police before I even stepped into the ring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad908 July 17, 2013 Share July 17, 2013 Nice, I have had thoughts myself of getting a baby hippo. But will probably settle on a yellow tang. What is the time estimate for it to outgrow your 57? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
