    Snook,

    I'm glad you're haoppy with your corralline 'explosion'.

    Check out my short DT vid- now there is some corralline- 11 months old.
    Check out my back eall alone!, I don't scrape/clean the back wall. It's now a decopage of about 4 shades of corralline.

    Came home from my final exams today, and in celebration of me smoking all of em, i changed up the scape, yet again. I need to see someone about this problem i have. lol

    Rock is on hold as of now i need to order some RODI filters, my TDS just came up with 001ppm.

    New scape is taller, and flows pretty nice, should look good when more rock is added to even out the sides.

    FTS

    Well just last night I went and bought about 7 lbs of rock. Not a whole lot but it makes a difference. I had to re scape a tad, due to rocks shifting and me not taking ANY chances. i like it! I also, finally, got my fuge going. All i need now is some algae, macro of course. haha Heres some shots of the tank as she sits this mornin.

    Fuge.

    Looking better, I think the light should do in the refuge.

    Thanks John, Still not at 100% but that day draws closer.

    Thanks bro, it looks real nice in person. When you look down at the tank standing in front of it, it looks sweet. I have plans of a monti cap to grow all over it, one day.

    Hopefully more rock will be added soon, i may get some BRS rock while i order some new filters for my RODI. Regaurdless RODI filters need to be replaced.

    Im considering selling my car stero system for a mp40, or $ for leds. Not 100% sure but im almost at the age where i dont care if you hear me from 1/2 mile away any more. lol dont get me wrong, i love listening to anything in my car it sounds So clean, tweeters, 5 1/2s and 1500 rms amp w/ 2 12's, headunit takes usb so my iphone gets charged, AND i can listen to Pandora in the car, no need for satellite radio ;D. idk its a hard decision, but one weighing heavy on my mind. Id even install (locally of corse. im not putting it up for sale on here, just going to see if friends, fam, want it for cheap. its worth every bit of a grand. I think i can negotiate a LED order for stereo. or mp40.)
