Greg,
I'm moving to a new apartment in two months, you wanna come up and build me something just like yours?

 

[ggee1]

Ha!, lol you supply the beer and I will be there lol!! Believe me this one caused me to consume many. I've added some frags of Birdcage coral a few days ago and tomorrow is a 3 hour trip to the LFS in Miami for a look see!

 

[livingreef2004]

great looking tank what are your plans for livestock

ps welcome aboard

 

[ggee1]

Not sure actually, I would like to get a good selection of SPS in there. I guess I might have to wing it as I go.

 

[mps9506]

You guys don't know me very well...
I have a fridge always full of beer and run a pet store that always has frags!!! I also get a good deal on Crown and cokes at my favorite drinking establishment if you prefer liqour
We are going to have to put togther a build Mike a stand party

 

[mattie]

i like it...
the fact the saved a perfectly good tank and made it new again
your homemade stand and canopy... i too really like the tiles i saw them at home depot and thought how cool . wow you did it well by applying them to the stand

 

[ggee1]

yeah Mattie, I'm pretty pleased by the way that it turned out! The tiles really make the tank! Just got back from Miami and picked up a nice piece of Frogspawn and 5 little Blue Chromis, can't wait to see how things turn out once I place them in the tank.

Mike you might have a deal lol Looks like it's going to be a party! We may talk about Frags though! I would like to buy some from you to try in my tank down the road here if that's possible ?

I will have pictures of the new arrivals here shortly!

 

[ggee1]

Well these pictures are not the best by any standards but here are a couple. I have already had to casualties due to my oversight! I had a Grey Snapper in the tank as a test fish and I never thought of taking it out first before adding the Chromis...... well lets just say he was well fed before I caught him. I had to use a fish hook and some shrimp and after two hours had the little sucker removed for good! I hope the Frogspawn opens up and doesn't decide to croak on me!

Birdsnest Frag I picked up too!

 

[Gina]

Nice pieces. How many fish did he eat before you got him?

 

[ggee1]

He ate two of them, now I'm down to 4 left! I had to run to Kmart and get $25.00 worth of fishing line, hooks and shrimp! Little snapper cost me more then he was worth! I checked on the little guys this morning and they look ok, so hopefully they will make it!

Nice stand & canopy!! I too like the darker blue trim. Very good job!

I see you have a sgt major damsel... I used to have several in my 125 gal tank a long time ago. I caught them off of the dock in Islamarada while on vacation. I eventually took them to a lfs because they grew extremely large and became aggressive.

 

[mps9506]

No problem Greg. If you see anything in my gallery that you would like frags of let me know( A few are not fragable yet and you will want towait until I finish my red bug treatment). I also have plenty of Montipora cap frags, orange/red and green with purple rim.
Just lemme know when you are ready and we will work something out.

 

[ggee1]

Thanks Mike,

I will let you know here shortly!

Woodstock,

I plan on getting rid of the sargent major as well..... very aggressive and will not allow anything to go into the tank without a fight! It's days are numbered too and will be released back to the sea!

The frogspawn opened fully today, any special needs that any of you can see that I should be aware of besides what is found in the knowledge base?
