Keith - Thank you good sir. it's coming along very nicely. I'm starting to really like my tank. :)
Spanko - I had hard times with PE on acros but on birds, from day 1 always had it fluffy. It's strange how that works out. lol.

Good to hear!

New zoanthids that I picked up today for a big whopping price of....... zero dollars.
I have great friends. :)
Bought 2 ricordias for my wife though. Soon I will create a nice garden like you rick.

Thanks Rick.
Went to Aly's yesterday as well as Tray's. Aly's wasn't as nice as usual but I expected it since it was right after a frag swap.
This is a new spot that Tray found on low tides in Miami. He grabbed little colonies with chisel for me and his tank.
We will go one day soon!! I'll have a weekend day off just for this!! He has told me that there were even more crazy looking one but that was on the little bit deeper side and the tide wasn't low enough. :/



Lois- another reason to move to south Florida. ;)
Just in my tank, I have several blue, purple/blueish zoanthids and over here we have abundance of corals for cheap.
Mind you, all of my corals are $5-20 frags. exception of my clam which I bought for $35.

Glass seal was coming undone in 3 different place in the side panel.. so Rick (nova) and I went into a hunting mode to replace my tank..

Took my old tank down... my baby will be resealed then donated to Miami Museum of Science.

New tank up

Buckets of corals

More buckets and a bio cube


Almost 4 am, it's some what ready... Gotta glue all my frags that fell... sigh.

WHAT a job! I'm glad I could help hunt down the tank with you. So sorry I couldn't stay to help with the swap, but I see you had at least one helper.
Did ya tell them about being stuck in the hail storm? Heheheheh. I actually have little pings on the roof of my car from some of them. Glad we weren't in the little blue car!!!
SO....any coral losses that you can see?

Heya Rick, thanks for going through a hail storm with me, for me lol.
I'm glad to have you as a friend. That's my friend, jack (he posted here once or twice), he came over to help me put down the old tank then to raise the new tank then went home lol. I knew the re stocking would take forever so I didn't really want him to spend the whole night here with me lol.
It took forever and a day and I still have to do couple of more things as in placement but it's coming along. I ditched all the sand after stirring it finding whole bunch of crap and how nasty it was.
I think I'm about to lose my chucky's bride zoa... it closed up and didn't open for a while... that makes me bit upset... :/ so far, all the corals are alive.

Hey Richard, sorry to hear about your tank. That is one of my worst fears a leaking tank
. I would lose everything no spare tanks for the fish just 2 ten gallons.
