Really no progress has been made in a long time. The 60 has a puffer and a christmas wrasse that have been in harmony for a long while. They seem happy and the puffer is still very small. He eats well and shows no signs of aggression. I am thinking I will soon move the wrasse in the 150...

Mine was just listed as a heniochus banner fish but it was from a hawaiin shipment. I got him here in town at an LFS. I did a little googling before I decided to make the purchase. This guy is definitely a Diphreutes, he has the stubbier snout, as apposed to the long snouted accuminatus and he...

That's too funny. I just added an H. diphreutes myself. I am so happy I did. The pattern/colors and the behavior is a wonderful addition to the reef! I have not have any issues with any picking, other than at the rocks. Great eater too! Good luck!

I bought another one, great price, though it was not doing well. I know nothing about this, I am assuming it's non-photo but if not, it'll go to the large tank. The purple, after it was identified was moved to the large reef under LEDS and is doing great! Here is the new guy. It's hard to tell...

I am sure I have some longer ones on here. ;) There was a lot of stuff to be address! Thanks Richard! Anyone have thoughts on the NPS/puffer tank mate situation?

It has been some time! I figured I would update this neglected thread. So first, the kitchen- It's coming along. I got quite a few thinds done but then life got in the way. I have a brand new, big, lovely island and I LOVE IT! This is the best project I ever did. I put in a granite composite...

Hah! Turf scrubber.... I gave up on mine after a week or two of frustration. I ripped it out and installed a reactor for media. You are the wiz. You need to post a tutorial...

On a totally different note... Remodel UPDATE! So we FINALLY cracked away at this stupid pony wall/island. IT'S GONE! I AM SOOOO EXCITED! This is all the cabinetry that will go on the new island which is 5' x 8'. :-D IT'S HUGE! There is storage on every side and I did give up one cabinet...

So Lois, I dunno if this kenya is gonna make it. It has not perked up at all. :-( A few of the pieces have even melted away. I am really bummed. I will post a picture after work today. That is such a real bummer. I have not given up hope... It looks maybe some of the bigger pieces might do...

Cool! Well, if you do find something in the area, That is cool. Drop a line here so I can check it out too. I have searched myself and like it I said, I am not aware of anything... other than that one we just talked about. I don't think any of the other stores do stuff like that... even if they...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! This is TOO funny!!!! Gemmy!!! You're killing me!! LMAO!!! Okay so... years back when we started this hobby, we had a store called Arizona Sea Bottom that we LOVED. We bought our first tanks from them... We spent all of...

Gemmy- Thanks for the info. That would be really cool if that reef club is close! Thanks for the info! I am pretty close to tempe. Most of our LFSs are in tempe so... Hopefully I will be able to make it to a meeting.

Hahaha no worries Meowzer... I'm not dying. lol it's just uncomfortable. I have played in my tank a zillion times and never had an issue. I frag a lot too. I don't think it was your fault. I was thinking that perhaps the corals were in the bag over night and had released the toxins or something...

Yesterday I was mounting a bunch of particularly pissed off pieces of Kenya tree coral that had just shipped from OK. They had been in their bags of water, which were brown and smelly by the time they arrived. I unpacked all the little pieces, dipped them in revive and washed them with RO water...

Good luck friend.

Hahaha... not yet. Mine is not done. lol :-p

Thanks. I think I may give it just a little more brown... tone it down a couple more notches. I think it will be nice once I get all of the dark cabinetry, floors, doors and appliances surrounding it.

Bummer man. I guess either it's man chores or you're out 1200.00 bucks. That is an easy choice, if you know how to fix laundry equipment. So I blended the paint and added more faux texture. It's more brown now and we like it a lot more. The color is not called "steampunk"... Steampunk is the...

So here is the newly installed slate "pillar" (getting dark grey grout today) This is the part that I have glazed already and may glaze a little more. The brighter parts are just the paint as it is. Here is a shot of the slate with the yellow next to it. The doors and trim of door with be a dark...

I need help with this paint!!! Alright... I know this is hard to imagine... But I am gonna ask anyone who is on to chime in on this and help me out. I have decided that my kitchen is going steampunk "lite" for it's motif. It'll basically be tradtional color palette full of dark metals, vintage...
