    haha. I want to dry to DIY my own version of he Port Hole.

    The tank is coming together nicely. I like the hammer coral.

    Picked up a few frags today.

    2 plugs of Bam Bams

    A polyp with a baby of something my guy calls Apocolypse.?? Great looking coral though.

    A plug encrusted with some type of Monti. He says Cap but it looks more like an encruster to me and I didn't get to see the mother.

    4 loose mystery polyps. As they open they look to be Tubbs blue. The tubbs in the back I had already and are from the 90.
    Got to utilize the Eshopps Realistic Frag Rock :)

    It' the darker small clump in the center of photo 2. I'll get a better shot of it once I get my tri-pod home. It's about the size of a quarter right now but the polyps do not look cap-ish to me at all.

    Looks like an undata or confusa which are encrusting.

    Got some balance in the lighting today. Put another Phoenix 14k in the left side and replaced the USHIO which I was told was a 14K but always looked very yellow to me. I was surprised when I saw that it was 20K.

    WOOT!

    A Vortech has always been just wishful thinking for me. Until now.

    Mike Rice hooked me up with a great deal on an MP40. It will be here mid week and I cannot wait. I've been watching vid's on youtube of them in action in 75 gallon reefs and I can't believe that one pump is going to replace all the unsightly flow pumps I have in there at the moment. ( 6 in total. 2 530gph on constantly and 4 500gph on wave timers)

    Video and pics to follow.

    I fragged a few SPS from the 90G in the shop and added them here. I also brought a couple from there that I would rather have in this tank.
    Montipora Confusa frag. 2 of these frags but I mounted the other on the backside of the rock work.

    1" frag of my Green Monster acro.

    Of course I have to keep the ORA red hyacinth love going.

    Turbinaria sp. Slowest growing SPS I have ever kept. That frag will be 2 years old next March.

    This is actually a Forest Fire mille or what's left of it. The caulerpa in the 90 over grew and killed most of it. I'm hoping the tips I fragged will come back and I can save it.

    And a war coral that's never had a chance to grow because it gets moved around from system to system so often.
