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 · 01-29-2005, 04:32 PM

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 · 01-29-2005, 07:50 PM

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 · 01-29-2005, 11:20 PM

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 · 01-30-2005, 07:04 AM

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

ggee1 · 01-30-2005, 07:53 AM

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 · 01-30-2005, 10:06 AM

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 · 01-30-2005, 03:43 PM

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?
