Thanks Manoj. I guess one of the main lessons learned is if you want some equipment, don't go cheap. Just save up and get the right one. Something I still struggle with sometimes. I've wasted too much money trying to save money because I end up with the equipment I was trying to get a cheaper replacement for after finding out the imitations were junk.

Would love to see a closer shot of the mixed reef w/ the large sps colonies in it. Last I saw it in person, the colonies were 1/4 that size!

Looking forward to seeing more!

Hey Chris,
Any closer and you can see what a slob I am with the coralline. I will include a pic tomorrow of how that frag you gave me looks today. About the size of a big sand dollar. My wife's favorite coral. Thanks again.

Monster set up for sure!!

When you go behind the scenes you feel like your at Sea World.

Bring your sound deadening headphones and a gas mask if you get close enough to the protein skimmers.
