[Joe5688]

Appreciate the offer Dre. I'm gone till Wednesday which is why i did all my maintenance today. My tanks should be ok for 3-4 days without my right?

Gfo is fresh
Ato reservoir is filled
Gonna feed the fish in the am

Anything I'm forgetting? Lol

Mayb skim a little dry that way it doesn't over flow. I forgot to do that when I went out of town for 2 days and came back with the cup filled up.

 

[Joe5688]

Alright i can turn it down.

Nice tank build thread Ritz Bitz!
:top:

I just stuffed 3 tanks worth of LR into my 46g bow system.. 160 lbs in the display and 40 lbs in the refugium..
Now I am replacing all of my T5 lamps with UVL's, then grabbing a couple of fish and a few frags to get things back on track..
I plan on copying my entire RB build thread over to here soon when I can go through all of the postings and hostings then transfer them here smoothly.. {A lengthy process}

Keep up the great work though, I am subscribed and tagging along for the ride from this point on!

Mini update. I bought the skimmer a while ago but never updated the thread.

Picked up a Reef Octopus NWB-150 (which i had to modify my sump/stand to make it fit)

and recent pick up was a frag of Leng Sy

Whooo, i was talking to yogo about how my nem had a 1" section of baby tentacles all bunched together and i just got home and my nem split!

Anyone looking for one

 

[Prov3:5-6]

How much you want joe? Ill be up in lombard tomorrow early afternoon. I just gave away one of my babies and i need a replacement!!!!!!!! My heart is missing a piece only a nem can fill!!!

 

[Joe5688]

Lol ill have to see if i can get it off the rock. I'm hoping it doesn't walk around tonight cause i have 2sps colonies right by it.

I paid i think $25 for it and i need to buy a 20L for a sump lol. Let me see how he looks tomorrow. I'll pm u my number.

That's one of my favorite fishes. I love how huge their eyes are and the blue glow their skin gives.

 

[Joe5688]

Yeah he's awesome. I walked passed it at rw and it caught my eye. Had to have it lol.

 

[KeishaKornbread]
