Cool Al! Can you get Julie to post?

Looking good. I like the rock structure, and the ball looks good too.

When you are ready for some corals let me know. I'm sure I could put some frags together for her.

Where'd you get the reef ball? Looks familiar... is it that company that does ocean reef structures?

I think Julie is "sleeping" with someone who is able to order and ship them.... (Points to Me).

Huh? are you serious? Look in my signature or go to
Reef Balls & Reef Cakes

It's the same company from Dirty Jobs and they make and ship them ALL over the world. I have them making them for the Home Aquarium as "models". We're going to grow one with some INSANE Zoas and one with GSP's for show. If you want one PM me and I'll hook you up.

Does she plan on stocking it like the picture on the box??



Just kidding Congrats Julie ! I like the aquascaping

[BarbMazz]

Hey AL how come there's no mention of a REEF BALL in there?!? You're not crazy about them or anything are you?! LOL

Looks really good! I like the 'scape job a lot.

[kathywithbirds]

OH!!! Yes, BTW, I am actually drugged... awaiting surgery. I have an excuse (this time...)

Thanks for the offer... I might go for it, but not now, tank is not doing well and I got a lot on the burner.

You know, now I think about it, I think I remember seeing that sig and was kinda afraid to ask about "reef balls" ...

[kathywithbirds]

BTW, the tank looks awesome!!! She have any stocking plans yet?

That box cover is her inspiration! That's EXACTLY what she wants J/k to... she wants strickly some bright Zoas and shrooms. If the light will support it I might get a shroom in there for her. She did the scaping ALL on her own design. I'm SO proud of her

What reef balls? Yeah I am a REEF Ball NUT! But honestly since I got the first one she said," I want one of the small ones in my tank ASAP!" So there it is!!

She's very excited and eager to learn all about it. We are going to learn here at the house and once it's all good and we have a good "system" it's going to her office on her new desk (she just got a SWEET new job).

Thanks for READING the thread!!

We need details on a build thread here... did you drill holes for those pegs? any glue/putty? Any mods on the cube? And a small 70w sunpod fits REALLY well on the cube nanos
