Once those tangerines grow a little bit more the colors will be mind boggling, they have to be the most insane orange color i've ever seen, they also develope a neon green cateye in the center
Those green/orange cloves are sweet, I started out with maybe 10 polyps and have them all over the place now, they even started to grow up the backside of my tank.... I can't wait to get his tank up and running and start stocking.....I'm going to try and create a huge micromussa rock in the center of the tank with a huge mother colony on it with those tangerines.....more to come..

It's awesome to see all the equipment in one pic, I bet alot of people have so much stuff, but never could imagine it in 1 place. I love to see a Fully stovked garage, that pic with pumps, etc.etc. is great!

Part of the deal on me getting this tank was that I had to clear out the "used equipment Storage" area in the garage. I have one entire wall thats nothing but old tanks, pumps, skimmers, lights, sand, buckets, etc.... Almost mind boggling when I started to really look at what all I had collected. I have to tear down and get rid of my 125g & 75g tanks and clear out the garage, or else...........
The reef weasel in me already has a plan for this newly cleared out space, as I was told I could install a mini fragging operation, but the definition of "Mini" was never discussed in great detail...

Flooring is about done, this is me ticked at the world as my stand and canopy are still not here and I have more flooring to install, even my doggies are scared of me......On top this, we also putup crown moulding and that was another pain, so I have to trim the walls in,....ARGH....must be patient
Can you tell that I'm not a happy camper

It's illegal to hit somebody with a BAT, a level is a different story....
Believe me, I was about to start swinging when the pic was taken
I used it to check the crown moulding that I also installed and to make sure the first row of planks were correctly aligned. I had to lay the first row of flooring yesterday and let it sit

I've got 2 more rows to go, then I have to trim in the moulding...
I also installed the chandelier and ceiling medallion, Now I was just told that I have to do something about the windows, either get plantations or do some kinda fabric treatment, then there is the issue of artwork, then there is the issue about some stupid plants.....good grief, all I wanted was a place to put a tank and a nice chair, I got railroded on this project....evil conniving other half had this little adventure planned all along and I fell right into the trap with "you can have another tankl" BUTT

Wow, I can't believe that the canopy and stand has finally arrived, I'm seriously the most impatient person on the plant and having the tank in the garage and not being able to set it up was going to make my head implode
Now the serious fun begins, hopefully we can round up some neighbors tonight and place the tank on the stand, can't even begin to explain how freakin heavy this tank is, going to take atleast 4 people.
I'll install the sump and plumbing tonight and start filling it up, I've already got 150g of water mixed and ready, plus I'm taking down my 75g and will be using the cured rock and the water from that tank as well, plus I have around 350lb of fully cured LR in my 125 that will be moved over as well.
